Worked at Agrostar. They actually focus on giving quality products and advisory to farmers though they don't give great salary to entry level roles. People are working on great features inside the company, lot of learning experience for employees. There is no unicorn in this sector and there has to be a disruption sooner or later and employees with huge stock options are betting on that. Waiting for miracles to happen wasn't for me so I left but I do believe they are transforming the rural sector as they are being connected to digital economy. The importance of yhis can't be understated. Lastly, because of funding they have deviated from doing good

Thanks, can you share more information, I'm exploring something to build in this space.
Do you think there is still need for credit given there are already banks and agri fintech startups out there

Do you think glorified Lala business or they say they are getting better pricing and quality to the farmers?
