Why Farmers Struggle
Why Farmers Struggle
Why Farmers Struggle
Indian farmers, who constitute 70% of the nation’s workforce, are extremely vulnerable to climate change due to limited access to finance, energy, and innovation. Current financial models do not cater to smallholder farmers, labeling them as high-risk. Moreover, fragmented systems and inadequate rural energy infrastructure further exacerbate their challenges.

Startups in the agri-tech and social enterprise space often face significant barriers to success. Limited access to capital, especially at the early stages, prevents them from scaling their solutions. They also contend with fragmented infrastructure, lack of market access, and rural energy challenges. By providing grants and enabling partnerships, we help overcome these obstacles, offering both financial and technical support that allows startups to pilot and grow their innovations in a real-world setting.
