To promote agriculture-related entrepreneurship in India, Consulting firm HexGn and AFC India have joined hands. While, they will together aim to promote 1,000 agritech start-ups in the country over the next five years.

Furthermore, for agriculture, rural development and other strategic socio-economic sectors in India, Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd is a multi-disciplinary cross-functional development organisation providing consulting, advisory and implementation support. 

“AFC in the last 50 years has played a pivotal role in developing and shaping India’s agriculture scene,” AFC India Ltd Managing Director B Ganeshan said.

“In the next 10 years, technology will transform agriculture and its allied fields, and we at AFC are delighted to partner with HexGn to fast-track and nurture 1,000 agritech start-ups from India,” he added. 

He has also stated that they would be looking forward to developing a cohesive system to train and develop agri-entrepreneurs. Thus driving towards a new self reliant India.
