Our Purpose

We have spent years working with farmers. We've seen their resilience, their challenges and their determination. We've also seen incredible ideas that never reached them. We believe that should change.

That's why we're building a place where good science, good people and good ideas come together to create something that truly matters.

About Us

In 2004, farmer Chandrashekhar Bagewadi began with one simple belief.

Growing up where farming was a way of life, our founder watched fertile soil grow exhausted and farmers grow desperate, relying on chemicals not out of choice but out of helplessness. That question? why should the people who feed the nation struggle to survive became the reason Chandrashekhar Bagewadi, Founder & Managing Director, built what is today Innovative India Agrify Pvt. Ltd. After two decades of manufacturing, research, farmer relationships and innovation, we're opening our ecosystem to researchers, startups and global companies building the future of agriculture, guided by one question: what would really help the farmer?
