About DeHaat

DeHaat is a startup that helps farmers with everything they need—from buying seeds and fertilizers to selling their crops. It was started in 2012 by Shashank Kumar and Amrendra Singh, who wanted to solve the problems faced by small farmers. The idea came from Bihar, where many farmers were struggling to get good advice, products, and fair prices for their produce.

Through the DeHaat app and village centers, farmers can get expert advice on crops, buy quality products at low prices, and even get loans or sell their harvest easily. The company uses technology like AI (artificial intelligence) to give smart farming tips and weather updates. DeHaat is now helping over 20 lakh farmers across many states in India including Bihar, UP, Jharkhand, and Odisha.

DeHaat has become one of India’s biggest AgriTech companies and has raised more than $200 million from big investors. It started small in Bihar but is now making a big impact all over India. The team’s mission is to improve the lives of farmers and make farming easier and more profitable.
