DeHaat (registered as Green Agrevolution Pvt. Ltd.) is one of India's fastest-growing agri-tech startups and a premier full-stack platform providing end-to-end solutions and services to the farming community. Founded in 2012 by alumni from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, and IIM Ahmedabad—including Shashank Kumar (CEO), Shyam Sundar Singh, Amrendra Singh, and Abhishek Dokania—the company is headquartered in Patna, Bihar. DeHaat functions as a comprehensive, tech-enabled marketplace designed to revolutionize supply chains, bring transparency to the agricultural value chain, and enhance production efficiencies for Indian farmers from "seed to market." The company operates a hybrid delivery model that seamlessly integrates physical infrastructure with advanced digital technology. At the grass-roots level, DeHaat operates through an extensive network of over 11,000 to 14,000 franchise-based "DeHaat Centers" managed by local micro-entrepreneurs. These centers serve as a reliable human interface and a one-stop-shop for farmers. Through this network and the dedicated DeHaat app, the platform connects over 1.8 million farmers across 12 agrarian states in India, including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal. DeHaat’s comprehensive service portfolio is structured around several critical agricultural needs. It provides farmers with direct access to high-quality agri-inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, crop protection materials, and animal nutrition from over 75 leading corporate brands. Additionally, the platform leverages AI-enabled technologies to offer customized, science-based crop advisory services and farm intelligence—such as soil analysis, weather updates, and personalized crop monitoring—delivered in regional languages for more than 30 different crops. To ensure financial inclusivity, DeHaat also facilitates credit and insurance solutions tailored for the agricultural sector. Beyond inputs and advisory, DeHaat provides vital market linkage for farm produce, allowing smallholder farmers to coordinate the direct sale of their outputs to institutional buyers and large corporate aggregators. This eliminates traditional middlemen, ensuring competitive market pricing and securing direct cost savings that can increase net farmer incomes by 30% to 50%. Simultaneously, institutional buyers and input suppliers benefit from DeHaat’s data analytics, forecasting technologies, and streamlined logistics. Financially, DeHaat is a venture-backed, revenue-generating private entity that has raised approximately $325 million to $507 million in total funding across multiple institutional rounds. Its prominent investors include Temasek Holdings, Sofina, Lightrock, Omnivore, and Dexter Capital. Showing strong financial progression, the company achieved profitability in Q1 FY26. It employs over 1,300 professionals and has acquired key agricultural subsidiaries such as Helicrofter and AgriCentral. DeHaat’s continuous social and economic impact has been widely recognized and felicitated by prestigious organizations, including NASSCOM, Forbes, Economic Times, NITI Aayog, and the Bill & Gates Foundation.
