About

As the Founder of Marketyard Agrisolutions, I’m leading the transformation of India’s agricultural supply chain through a phygital network that bridges the gap between farmers and essential agri-services. At Marketyard, we are building DMart-style hyperstores for farmers, integrating agri inputs, crop advisory, market linkages, and other critical services via a tech-enabled hybrid model. Our mission is to empower farmers by providing them with accessible, affordable, and sustainable solutions, directly impacting farmers across India. With over 300+ hyperstores planned, we aim to scale our operations nationwide and revolutionize the agri-commerce space, making it more inclusive and efficient for the rural economy. We are actively raising growth capital to expand our reach, enhance our platform, and bring innovative solutions to millions of farmers in India’s underserved markets.
