| | AUGUST 20224Being a global agricultural powerhouse, India is taking giant strides in the field and increasing its production of cereal crops as well as fruits, vegetables and milk to meet the demands of growing population. Startups are playing a key role in enabling this progress end-to-end. In this special issue, we have put the spotlight on them. The cover story of this issue features Agrosiaa which has positioned itself as a hybrid marketplace that is currently focusing on the supply chain for agri-inputs. It intends to expand as a tech-nology-based Agri-focused platform for numerous stakeholders in farms, including those involved in pre-harvest, post-harvest, trans-portation, insurance, and more. The company has been consistently working towards improving supply-chain efficiency for small manu-facturers and distributors by combining technology and marketing, something that very few players are currently doing. Also featuring in this issue is Apna Godam which is the first notified Online Mandi in Rajasthan and the company is currently solving the post-harvest needs of the farmer as a one stop shop ­ online selling, warehousing, finance syndication and logistics (end-to-end). The startup provides a mobile app that can be downloaded from any android-based smart-phone. The app allows interaction of both buyers and sellers on its platform that leads to best price discovery (after factoring in the crop quality, moisture content and so on) with an immediate secured pay-ment thus increasing transparency in the entire value chain. In addition, the issue also acquaints you with the other top players in this segment. After studying this market landscape in-depth, we have zeroed in on the top companies that have excelled in this market with their meticulous approach. Having proven their dedication to efficiency in order to meet the customer expectations in an end-to-end manner, these companies have stood out from the crowd. We look forward to receiving your feedback and suggestions.
