AGRIM KRISHI : PROGRESSIVE FARMING

Mission & Vision

Vision

Our vision is to double the farmer’s income to at least Rs 60,000 per acre per year over the next 3-5 years, through Democratisation of Agri-inputs, and bringing Stability and Predictability in a farmer’s income

Mission

We aim to impact lives of at least 1,000,000 farmers in over the next 2 years, and create at least 500 “Agripreneurs” fuelling localised and sustainable commerce within their respective communities

Our Values

  • Growing Healthy

    We know that food grown on healthy land with good agricultural practices is a healthy and nutritious food. We act as stewards of the massive farming land of India, caring for its health to support yours.

  • Family Tradition

    With having 2 generations dedicated to the service to the nation since the Green Revolution, “serving the nation” is not a mere slogan for Agrishi family, but our way of life.

  • Innovation for Sustainability

    Depleting soil quality and falling water tables are the most critical issues being faced not just by a farmer in a village, but also the city’s uber crowd. We believe that using precision farming, we help a farmer in providing tools that make him use the agri-input chemicals only when and where required, and in quantity that is required. This helps in producing food with minimal chemical residues, making one of the biggest worries of the “urban mom”, the safety and health of the food she is giving to her children.

Our Technology

Farmer’s App brings host of products and services, to the Farmer at his fingertip and convenience of home. The Recommendation Engine also helps him to better plan his procurement, both in quantity and availability of agri-inputs like fertilizers, pesticides etc Complementing Recommendaiton Engine is our ability to conduct on-field soil tests and generate real time soil analysis, providing a more accurate information on the agri-inputs required by the farmer, and the quantity required Agri-Input Providers may use Agrishi’s omnichannel distribution model, to complement its existing commercial channels, as most of Agrishi network is rural and working directly with farmers At Agrishi, we believe that a farmer should not be burdened with unrequired capex in the form of agri-equipments like rotavators, levellers etc, which are used only for around 15-20 days per season. Hence, at Agrishi, we also bring to our farmer to book and rent farm equipments as and when he needs it.
