Founded in 2013, AgroStar is one of India’s foremost AgTech start-ups, working on the mission of Helping Farmers Win. AgroStar is an end-to-end solutions provider that is solving three major problems of farmers - limited access to good quality agri inputs, a gap in knowledge and information about scientific farming practices, and a lack of access to the best markets to sell their produce. Today, AgroStar serves millions of farmers across seven Indian states via an omnichannel approach. We have built India’s largest Agri Advisory Center, a highly engaged digital farmer network on the AgroStar app, with over 7.5 million users and a retail network of 7000+ stores (rapidly expanding). Through the acquisition of INI Farms, a leader in pomegranate, banana and fresh cuts exports from India, AgroStar is helping farmers sell their produce to some of the largest retail chains spread across 25+ countries in the world. Thus, building a full-stack model, solving for farmers’ problems end to end. Our platform, powered by data and technology, helps us to solve the problems faced by farmers at scale, thereby driving us closer to our mission of Helping Farmers Win.

Twiga is on our way to being Africa’s largest grocer. We’re using a mobile-based, cashless, business-to-business (B2B) supply platform to access distribution into the millions of small and medium size vendors in African urban markets. This allows us to drastically lower their daily costs of goods by exploiting latent value in broken, informal, value-chains and wholesale providers. Nairobi alone has at least 18,000 small and medium size vendors buying $55 a day in stock, our goal is to be their single source of supply. In the coming years will be expanding our platform to five African markets.
