Who We Are How We Work FarmerChat Impact Insights Careers Partner With Us

Building a more resilient future for farmers through technology

Founded in 2008 at Microsoft Research, we began with pioneering community-led video to transform agricultural extension. We leverage technology, AI, data, and partnerships to scale solutions for smallholder farmers, with a focus on gender inclusion and the changing realities of climate.

Empowering India’s Smallholder Farmers at Scale

150 million smallholder farmers power India's agriculture.

Over the past 18 years, we have empowered 5.5 million farmer households through tech-driven interventions that improve productivity, reduce risk, and strengthen income stability at the last mile.

Elevating Women Farmers as Decision-Makers

Women contribute more than 60% of farm labour in India.

Our inclusive approach prioritises women, over 50% of farmers we reach are women, strengthening their access and decision-making power.

Enabling Climate-Resilient Farming

India is among the most climate-vulnerable agricultural economies globally.

Our technology enables farmers to adopt climate-resilient practices, helping them adapt to erratic weather patterns, rising temperatures, and emerging pest threats.

Reimagining Agricultural Extension at Scale

India’s traditional extension systems are overburdened: 1 extension worker serves up to 5,000 farmers.

Our scalable, technology-driven approach penetrates the last mile, delivering timely, relevant advisory to farmers at a fraction of the cost, up to 100x more cost-effective than traditional systems.

Closing the Last-Mile Advisory Gap

Reaching every farmer with timely advice remains costly and difficult to scale.

Our solutions are designed with farmers, rooted in their lived realities, delivering hyperlocal, advisory in local languages, breaking barriers of access and literacy to ensure meaningful impact.
