In Barwani Madhya Pradesh, Atul Patidar has digitally connected 4,000 farmers of his area. Through e-platform Farmkart of Atul Patidar, these farmers are getting home delivery of many agricultural materials such as fertilizer, seeds pesticides, fungicides that means that farmers are getting the things required at their doorsteps. On this platform, modern agricultural equipment are also available on rent. Even during lockdown, thousands of packets were delivered to farmers through this digital platform which included cotton seeds and vegetables. Atul and his team are also making farmers technically aware by teaching them online payment and purchase.”

Farmkart’s founder and CEO Atul Patidar has a farming background. He started Farmkart in association with his friends from Canada. Before starting Farmkart,  Atul Patidar completed four post graduate degrees from the top global universities and worked for renowned companies such as Samsung, Ford etc.
