The single largest agricultural product, dairy accounts for 5% of the national economy and has experienced a 6.4% (CAGR) during the past five years. A massive 100 million farmers still rely on dairy farming for a portion of their daily income. However, the absence of contemporary tools and technology has a significant negative impact on the industry. In an effort to upend the pre-farm gate of the Indian dairy sector, Mooofarm was incepted in September 2019 after 2 years of meticulously analysing the dairy ecosystem.

“We have robust offline interventions, allowing farmers to come directly to our fields or contact our customer service for any assistance. Additionally, we have solid local assistance to assist farmers in converting to digital techniques. As a crucial next step, we are also cultivating tech-savvy business owners who can significantly help farmers in each village”, says Mr. Jitesh Arora in a statement.

With strong operational and technological competence for a sizable and untapped industry that accounts for over 4.6% of India’s GDP, Mooofarm has increased its revenue by ten times or more compared to FY21 and is prepared to organize the over $100 billion Indian dairy business.
