About AgroStar:
AgroStar is India’s foremost Agri-tech company 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 Group provides full-stack solutions to millions of farmers across 9 Indian states via an omnichannel approach. Along the journey, we have built India’s largest agronomy advisory center powered by 400+ agri graduates, a highly engaged digital farmer network with over 7 million users and the highest-rated agri app, and a retail network of 7300+ stores. These technology-enabled channels help farmers produce better and achieve higher price realizations by providing appropriate advice, timely input delivery, and output market linkages.
In March 2022, AgroStar forayed into the output space by acquiring INI farms. With this acquisition, AgroStar Group is Helping Farmers Win with better price realization across 10+ crops by exporting high-quality F&V under the brand name ‘Kimaye’ to 25+ countries across the globe. With 1500+ employees, AgroStar group believes in a culture of ownership and high growth and has been a recipient of multiple Best Startups to Work awards. You can deep dive into our culture here.
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!
