Here are some insights from the “Connecting Ideas With Money” session on August 4th, 2023. Prachintek, based in Kalaburgi, Karnataka, made a pitch for their initiative – Farmer Tech Store (FTS) that is aiming to revolutionize agriculture by integrating technology into the farming landscape. FTS is designed to be a comprehensive solution for farmers, traders, and retailers, offering advanced tech-enabled tools to enhance productivity and efficiency.
Agriculture is a challenging profession, and farmers face numerous obstacles. Lack of access to resources, outdated methods, and inadequate equipment hinder progress. FTS wants to bridge this gap by introducing technology to empower farmers and transform their practices.
FTS serves as a digital platform that provides farmers with easy access to a wide array of agricultural tools and resources. This technology-centric approach aims to enhance yields and improve sales strategies, ultimately transforming the way farmers engage with their work.
FTS holds a personal significance for the founders, Sagar and Guru. Sagar, raised in a rural area within a farming family, intimately understands the struggles faced by farmers. This first-hand experience propels the mission of FTS – to uplift and support those who till the land.
