Modern farming includes startups leveraging technology to improve productivity, resource efficiency and sustainability in India’s agricultural sector.

According to an Inc42 report, the market opportunity for agritech is anticipated to reach $25 Bn by 2025, signifying a transition from its nascent stages to mainstream prominence in the near future.

Despite agriculture employing over 40% of the workforce, inefficiencies and low productivity remain persistent in the industry.

Startups are innovating across precision farming, soil intelligence, farm automation, input marketplaces and IoT-based monitoring. They are addressing critical gaps such as unpredictable yields, excessive input costs, limited access to real-time data and climate-linked disruptions. However, issues like low digital penetration in remote areas, poor financing options and resistance to tech adoption still constrain scale.

Leading Indian startups in the modern farming space include DeHaat, Absolute, Fasal, BharatAgri, CropIn, Agrim and AgroStar.
