“Financial inclusion in Indian agriculture is yet to deepen its roots. As a facilitator of P2P lending and other institutional finance, we strive to go the last mile”
Timely and adequate availability of finance is a prerequisite for the growth of any sector and Agriculture is no exception. Adequate agri-financing has proven to play an important role in supporting both on and off-farm agricultural activities including input provision, production, processing and marketing.You, as a farmer, are eligible to avail working capital by our easy financial solutions.
Profit-sharing basis: Hand-in-hand with our enthusiastic urban investors, you are eligible for peer-to-peer (P2P) lending that will provide you with the required working capital.

“Today, a farmer rarely knows where his produce ends up, or how. We not only link your produce to the right buyer but also guarantee the right price”
Traditionally, the agricultural marketing chain in India is very long with a large number of intermediaries between the actual producer and the end consumer. The direct consequence of it is the declining share of farmers in the present consumer price.
We provide you with alternate marketing channels like direct marketing, contract farming, aggregation through farmers collectives and more to provide remunerative prices; essentially connecting to you the right vendor for a better market price.
Value addition is another important key to raise your farm incomes. We also process certain types of crops like paddy, pulses to improve its shelf-life and garner more income.
