BharatAgri is an advisory-led e-commerce platform that helps farmers find and order input products tailored to their crops, regions, and climatic conditions. The company has developed prediction algorithms that provide personalized guidance and says the combination of advisory and e-commerce can boost output by 30%, cut costs by 10%, and double earnings. Its online store lists more than 10,000 agricultural products, including fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, insecticides, and equipment. Founded by Siddharth Dialani and Sai Gole, BharatAgri aims to increase farm yield while reducing input costs and labor requirements. The company plans to expand its e-commerce platform into new regions, strengthen its distribution network, improve last-mile delivery, and reduce turnaround time over the next 12 months. It recently raised $4.3M in an extended Series A to support these operational expansions. BharatAgri offers AI-driven agronomy services that collect over 30 data points to generate customised, year-long advisory schedules delivered as films. The platform aims to boost agricultural revenues by promoting systematic, scientific farming practices. It also operates a tailored advisory-driven e-commerce segment called Krushidukan, which the company plans to expand using fresh funding. BharatAgri says its premium advisory services cover more than 2 lakh acres and have benefited over 1 lakh farmers. The startup was founded in 2017 by Siddharth Dialani and Sai Gole and participated in the fourth cohort of the Google for Startups Accelerator India program in September 2020. BharatAgri is a Bangalore-based digital farm advisory startup that offers an app-based, AI-driven agronomy service on a paid subscription basis. Its proprietary algorithm collects data on more than 30 critical parameters to deliver customized advisory across grains, pulses, fruits, and vegetables, providing fully digital and automated services with timely insights and crop monitoring. Founded in 2017 by IIT Madras alumni Sai Gole (COO) and Siddharth Dialani (CEO), the company reports strong traction: 20x growth in paid subscription sales over the past 12 months, a 65% renewal rate, and more than 33,000 active paid users. Farmers on the platform pay on average about $8 (INR 600) per acre for a six-month subscription, and the farmer population is evenly split between horticulture and commodity crop growers. BharatAgri plans to expand its subscriber base beyond Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, accelerate growth of its inputs marketplace, refine its technology offering, and scale aggressively in the Rabi 2021 season. The company also intends to expand into direct-to-farmer agri input supply and launch a Series B round in January 2022. BharatAgri provides personalised agriculture and farming advisory through its digital platform, including an intelligent farm advisor called Krishi Doctor. The platform offers paid subscriptions to mostly medium-to-large farmers and also monetises via transaction/listing fees from agri-input and procurement companies. The company says Krishi Doctor has helped farmers achieve over a 40% increase in yield and reduced management costs. BharatAgri reports more than 350,000 users and offers premium subscriber services such as loans, insurance, crop input access, and farm-to-market services. The startup plans to use new funds for product enhancement, growth, and expanding its footprint across India. Over the next two years it aims to scale to 5 million farmers and 500,000 premium subscribers.
