This document discusses opportunities in agribusiness and supply chain management. It notes that India's agricultural sector has significant growth potential, as most of the population and workforce is involved in farming but average landholdings are small. The supply chain from farmers to consumers involves many intermediaries and lacks efficiency. Recent government initiatives aim to strengthen farmer groups, promote investment, and facilitate trade. Partnerships between startups, the private sector, and government aim to provide services to farmers, connect them to markets, and professionalize agribusiness. The CEO of the agtech startup E-FASAL outlines their goal of training 5000 agripreneurs to improve India's complex agricultural supply chain.
