India is recognised as a global agricultural powerhouse because of its great agro-ecological diversity. India's agriculture business contributes significantly to the country's economy, accounting for roughly 18% of GDP and employing 45% of the national workforce (Redseer Strategy Consultants). According to the Press Information Bureau of India (PIB), India ranks 8th with a share of 2.33% among the world’s top agricultural exporters.
Agritech firms in India present a US$2,400 crore opportunity, although the market is still largely untapped (with only 1.5% penetration). When fully developed, the agritech ecosystem has the potential to increase the incomes of Indian farmers by 25 to 35% and contribute US$9,500 crore to the country’s GDP through lower input costs, increased productivity and price realisation, more affordable finance, and additional sources of income (NITI Aayog). Between 2020 and 2027, the global agritech industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% (Ernst & Young report). Due to its huge demand in India and the global market, the agritech industry is one of the most crucial pillars for constructing a sustainable future. According to the Economic Survey of India 2022–23, India’s agriculture sector has increased by 4.6% during the last six years, with over 1,300 agritech start-ups emerging in the sector.
Agriculture is anticipated to contribute roughly US$60,000 crore to India’s GDP by 2030, a 50% increase over its contribution in 2020.
Nutrikosh India Limited, incorporated on 11 June 2021 in Kanpur, is an agritech company that offers a comprehensive ‘Phygital’ (Physical + Digital) tech-enabled, farmer-centric agri-business platform that integrates both physical and digital elements to enhance the efficiency and transparency of agricultural transactions by revolutionising the agricultural supply chain. They connect farmers and buyers—such as corporates, traders, and FPOs—through their Krishi Saarthi Kendra and the Nkosh App. Their local representatives, called Krishi Saarthi, assist farmers in selling their produce directly from their farms at competitive prices and ensure timely payments. They also arrange logistics services to collect and deliver produce to corporate buyers and traders at agreed-upon locations. This innovative approach allows Nkosh to address the critical needs of farmers, MSMEs, and buyers by offering end-to-end solutions that cover the entire agricultural value chain, from pre-harvesting to post-harvesting activities.
Their relationship with farmers.
They operate in 10 states in North India and have strong relationships with farmers. Their success comes from providing services directly at the farm and consistently delivering quality solutions at fair prices. They engage with farmers face-to-face at different stages of the value chain, offering fair prices, logistics support, and crop advice through their Krishi Saarthi Kendra
Their relationship with buyers
They have strong relationships with corporates, wholesalers, and traders who want high-quality agricultural products directly from farmers at fair prices. They supply these products from the farm gate to the buyers' chosen location, reducing lead times and costs. Additionally, they serve as a single point of contact for bulk purchases, ensuring timely delivery and quality products.
Tech-enabled digital support tool.
Nkosh uses advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide innovative solutions, including crop disease detection through a simple photograph, farm intelligence, and tailored agricultural support. These AI-driven insights help farmers make better decisions, leading to higher yields and improved produce quality. The platform also offers digital tools for farmers to manage their finances, track income and expenses, and monitor payments.
As of 30 September 2024, ₹24.66 crore of their revenue was derived from Uttar Pradesh, accounting for 98.64% of their total revenue. Accordingly, a significant portion of their revenue is derived from customers concentrated in Uttar Pradesh, and any adverse developments affecting the state could have an adverse effect on their business, results of operations, and financial condition.
They depend on third-party transportation and logistics providers for offering their logistics and supply chain management services. The buyer is responsible for covering the transportation costs directly. Any disruptions in these services or significant increases in freight costs could adversely affect the buyer’s ability to receive goods on time and may impact the overall supply chain, potentially affecting their business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Any change in government policies towards the agriculture sector or a reduction in subsidies and incentives provided to farmers could adversely affect their business and results of operations.
