Farmers already buy. The buying is scattered.

Every season in Nashik starts with trips to the shop — often several. The money is already being spent. What's missing is a way to spend it well.

  • Too many shops

    One input here, another there. Purchases are split across several retailers, every season.

  • Trust and the right fit

    Is it genuine? Is it right for my crop at this stage? The advice matters as much as the product.

  • Credit and timing

    Crop stages don't wait. Dealer credit and urgency decide what gets bought, and when.

  • The last mile

    Getting the right input to the farm eats hours that belong in the field.

  • Demand nobody can see

    Companies and distributors can't see what each village actually needs, so stock arrives late or wrong.

One app for the farm. One counter for the dealer.

Aapla Shetkari is built around the farm, not around a catalogue. Farmers order from verified local dealers; dealers get a digital counter and steady repeat orders.

For farmers

  • My Farm: village, acreage, crops and crop cycle
  • Buy from verified local dealers
  • Order, pay, track and reorder
  • Weather, mandi rates, schemes and crop information
  • Reminders before each buying window

For dealers and distributors

  • Catalogue and stock, online
  • New customers and repeat orders
  • Simple order management
  • See what nearby villages need
  • Delivery coordinated for you

How an order reaches your farm

Stock stays with licensed local distributors. We bring the demand together and make the whole journey simple.

Join the network

Build density before scale.

The product is the network; the app is how it coordinates. We're growing village by village in four talukas of Nashik before going anywhere else.

1

Acquire

Build farmer and dealer density village by village, starting with crops that need inputs again and again.

2

Transact

Turn discovery into orders, delivery and repeat purchases through licensed local distributors — with free delivery at distributor rates to begin.

3

Aggregate

Use verified purchase data to plan demand, then buy in volume directly from manufacturers.

Four talukas. One dense wedge.

Counts are indicative, based on Census 2011 sub-district cultivator data. They show the farming population we can progressively reach — not unique households. Map is not to scale.

We start where inputs are bought most often.

Crops are prioritised by how much and how often they need inputs — not only by how many farmers grow them.

Village by village. Dealer-led. Crop-first.

We go deep in one taluka before opening the next, so every new village strengthens the last.

We reach farmers through local retailers, distributors, referrals and assisted ordering on WhatsApp.

The app can be copied. The network can't.

National platforms compete across India. We only need to be the most useful choice in four talukas — and every order makes that harder to match.

Where this goes

As order volumes grow and demand proves steady, we'll use that combined buying power to partner directly with manufacturers and MNCs — bringing distributor-level prices to every farmer in the network.

Let's grow together.
