Farmkart offers e-commerce platform for agriculture inputs in India

Barwani, an agri-centric region of Madhya Pradesh, witnessed a wave of a technological revolution in the form of Farmkart, a new generation startup transforming the Indian agriculture sector, recently. Founded in 2017, Farmkart offers pioneering solutions that digitise the agri-inputs’ buying process and simplify it, making the lives of farmers easier and their work more fruitful. Increasing number of customers validate Farmkart’s e-commerce platform as the much-awaited agritech revolution expands to villages across all states of India.
 

Highlighting about the services, Atul Patidar, CEO, Farmkart says, “Farmkart, in broader terms, is changing the way others look at agriculture. No one could have ever imagined the potential of user experience that can be built around farmers and agriculture. We brought innovation to where it was needed the most. We as a team are growing everyday, upgrading our own ideas and thinking of creating an impact in the everyday lives of farmers.”
 

Farmkart is bringing together the local knowledge and international expertise to make farming a profitable profession. To realise this vision, the team first researched the on-ground problems the farmers of the region were facing and then launched three products, designed with a combination of technology and human compatibility.
