TECHNOLOGY BRIEF
We provided benchmark price indices of agri commodities recorded during auctions at APMC markets across India. We understood from our users that this information is helping them in exploring alternative markets. Based on Buyer and Seller requirements, we are connecting them via WhatsApp. We also developed technology platform that will help a rural farmer’s market function as procurement centres.
Our current technology can help redesigning agri markets with supply dependant business models that are both farmer & buyers friendly. Third-party involvement is limited to supply chain.

If we make buying and selling process easy and smooth, it will attract more supply and generate more employment in supply-chain business…
