About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and solutions for agritech companies in India, emphasizing the need for partnerships to achieve profitability.

What is the problem ? How should India’s agritech companies providing advisory services become profitable. What is the solution ? They need to partner with each other, they need to partner with FPOs. Ideally large companies must partner with them. What is the evidence? There is enough evidence that companies and organisations can grow to significant levels even without significant equity funding. What is the caveat? Entrepreneurs are too busy with their own things . They feel that they can bypass and undercut the FPO. The large companies have not woken up to the importance of partnering with agritech companies . What should organisations do ? Large companies need to learn to partner with startups. Entrepreneurs need to stop believing that they can do everything. Sections Section 1: First 10 minutes : About Emmanuel , his career.
