In this talk I shall be describing how to obtain planar scattering amplitudes of quartic massless scalar theory from some particular positive geometries known as Stokes polytopes. The residues of the canonical form on these Stokes polytopes can be used to compute scattering amplitudes for quartic interactions. Properties like locality and unitarity of the amplitudes will be manifest from the geometric properties of the Stokes polytopes.
