About AgroStar:

AgroStar is Indias foremost AgTech start-up with a mission of #HelpingFarmersWin. Shardul and Sitanshu started AgroStar with a vision to solve two of the biggest problems in Indian agriculture - Lack of guidance for scientific/sustainable farming & limited access to great quality farm inputs. Today, AgroStar provides full-stack solutions to millions of farmers across 11 Indian states via an omnichannel approach. Along the journey, we have built Indias largest agronomy advisory centre, a highly engaged digital farmer network with over 9.5 million users, and a retail network of 10,000+ stores. These technology-enabled channels work together to help farmers produce better and achieve higher price realisations by providing appropriate advice, timely input delivery, and output market linkages.

In March 2022, we acquired INI Farms, and with this, we are now exporting our farmers’ produce to over 35+ countries across the globe. With massive synergies across the value chain to unlock, we are excited about our next exponential growth phase while being more mission-focused than ever! #HelpingFarmersWin! Backed by prominent investors and partners, we are rapidly growing our full-stack platform and access to credit.
