To quote Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
“Agriculture has a key role to play in helping the country
achieve its goal of becoming a $ 5 trillion economy.”

We’re doing what others don’t, putting the power in small farmowners’ hands with technology.

At Kisaansamrat, we believe new models of trading are required to meet the opportunities and challenges of modern agriculture. This is why our platform leverages cutting-edge AI for agri value chain optimization, resulting in increased yields and greater profit for small farmowners.
Today, agriculture accounts for 18% of our economy’s output and 47% of our workforce. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. Yet, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, 194 million Indians are undernourished, the largest number of hungry people in any single country.
Addressing the problem requires improvements in the productivity and efficiency of the agriculture sector, particularly small farmowners. At Kisaansamrat, we are bridging this fundamental gap, creating next generation agri-tech solutions for those facing the greatest need. This is why our business model is 100% aligned with small farmowners.
From our agri-business experience, we understand small farmowners face challenges disproportionate to their size and resources. Technology providers mainly focus on the needs of large enterprises. At Kisaansamrat, we aim to level the playing field.
We want to build www.kisaansamrat.com as a leading agri-tech start-up led by a passionate leadership team practising the highest standards of corporate governance. Being clean in every aspect of our conduct is a key goal in everything that we do.
Our operating model comprises of a three-part pursuit:
- World-class open source technologies and know-how to transform the agri value chain.
- Focus on novel solutions in areas of farmers’ unmet needs.
- Build partnerships with governments and farmer collectives to enable the widest possible access to our platform.
Kisaansamrat started with the idea that a technology-driven platform could help the agri value chain operate with significantly less overheads and hidden inefficiencies. We digitized the agri value chain with proof of origin and authenticity, enabling traceability whilst bringing down agri-trade commissions from 2-3% to 0.5%.
Kisaansamrat has set an aggressive timeline to demonstrate its commitment to this pursuit. AI, ML and big data aren’t just buzzwords at agribazaar. It’s how we’re defining technology and agriculture should work together. We are exploring a range of technologies such as remote sensors, drones and blockchain. Essentially, we’re doing what others don’t, putting the power in small farmowners’ hands with technology.
