Inspiration

We all want food but nobody wants to grow it. The most vital aspect of our life, but the source of it, Agriculture is majorly undervalued as a career or business opportunity and a farmer isn't considered an entrepreneur just because he doesn't sit behind a Mac and create PPTs, but if you really think about it, as a founder, we may slog for the initial 5 years to build a stable profitable revenue stream, whereas farmer operates in such volatile market conditions year on year endlessly and still at the end of the day, is considered the poorest in the society, this is a high risk, low reward situation that we have gotten ourselves into, isn't it supposed to be high risk, high reward! This is majorly driven by the language barrier, lack of awareness, lack of direct access to the market and prices being dictated by traders and intermediaries who take over 2/3rds of the sale and also a lack of transparency between the farmer and consumer leading to an unconscious and self-detrimental purchasing behavior of consumers.

What it does

We aim to solve this through our platform empowering a farmer to build his brand, connect directly with the consumers and help them achieve a product market fit as well as a price-market fit. Having integrated support of over 10 Indian regional languages into our AI voice powered platform that enables farmers overcome the language barrier and adopt our social commerce platform easily and leverage or learn social media skills to earn rather than just spend time on social media platforms. The platform integrates features like pre-export estimation with the pre-booking option and fundraising by offering community members discounts in exchange for early support and for the consumer an AI voice powered diet and health assistant driving a health-conscious purchase along with health-check indicators before a purchase.

How we built it

Rapid Prototyping using Vibe coding platforms to get the frontend demo ready. Worked on the backend to enable AI Assistants and Storing and extracting data from databases.

Challenges we ran into

Many features to be developed, requires robust development best practices. Adoption of new users will be a major challenge. End-to-end navigation using AI Assistant is not natively supported.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Prototype is capable of showing how the platform works highlights the clear benefits and value-additions to each set of users - the farmer and the consumer
