Description *
EasyKrishi is a four-year old technology start-up working in the field of agriculture in India. Ever since our inception in 2013, we have been serving as an effective platform for Indian farmers, in order for them to directly engage with buyers and sellers. Our tech-enabled app serves as a Direct Communication and Marketing Channel which eases farmer to farmer and farmer to stakeholder communication and provides a Remedy to Uncertain Market Conditions. We have been instrumental in driving social impact enabling farmers to create solidary groups, thereby increasing efficiency and creating an outlet to escape debt trap and suicide. Our organization uses technology-based interventions in order to aggregate demand from the farmers and streamline the required supply back to them. Thus we are creating a digital workforce within farming sector, in perfect alignment with government schemes like Digital India. As of today, our work benefits 8000 farmers, whom we reach through Farmer Produce Organization s (FPO's), each with 1,000 to 1,500 stakeholders and around 2,000 other farmer members. As a recognition of our social impact. We have been declared as Technology partner of Karnataka Agricultural Price Commission, incubated by Karnataka Government and identified as NABARD Partner for Farmer Producers Organizations. Currently we are working with GIZ on their Green Logistics Project which is in co-ordination with Dept of Horticulture, Govt of Karnataka
