With more than 25,000 farmers enrolled till date, the SecuFarm App, the smart and sustainable farming solution, uses advanced crop advisory and technology to provide farmers with farm-level yield guarantee. The app aims to reach over a million farmers by 2024 in all parts of the country.
The Company has significant presence across 22 states in India and 15 countries across the globe.

This fresh capital will be used to develop and implement the yield guarantee solution to improve the resilience of 100,000 smallholder farmers in India, against climate risks and incentivise smart agricultural risk-management practices.
