Agritech & Finance: Bridging the Gap for India’s New-Age Farmers
India’s agriculture sector is witnessing a silent revolution. With the rise of agritech startups and modern farming practices, farmers are no longer confined to traditional methods. Instead, they are embracing data, drones, AI, and precision farming to enhance productivity. But to truly unlock this potential, one critical factor must evolve alongside: agri-financing.
The Rise of Agritech in India
The agritech industry in India is growing rapidly, with hundreds of startups offering solutions in areas like:
- Precision farming
- Soil and weather monitoring
- Digital marketplaces for produce
- Supply chain and logistics optimization
- Agri-insurance and risk management
These innovations help reduce losses, improve yields, and connect farmers directly to buyers. However, access to timely and appropriate financing is essential to adopt such technologies.
Why Traditional Financing Isn’t Enough
Most traditional agri-loans are asset-backed and structured for large-scale farmers. They often come with:
- Lengthy paperwork
- Rigid repayment terms
- Limited customization
This leaves small and marginal farmers behind, especially those trying to invest in new-age tools or scale their agri-businesses.
The New Wave: Digital Lending in Agriculture
Digital lenders like Velicham Finance are stepping in to close the gap. Here’s how:
✅ Quick, Paperless Loan Processing

- Drones
