Technology that puts every field on record
How a season is recorded
From the first visit to the final payment, each step is captured on the phone, at the field, when it happens.
- Farmer onboarded in under a minute: Name, phone, village and crop interest on one screen. Duplicate farmers are flagged on the spot, and the terms are played as audio in the farmer's own language before consent is recorded.
- Land mapped, not guessed: The plot boundary is drawn on a satellite map with its survey number. The app shows the measured area beside the claimed area.
- Seed handed over with proof: Variety, parent line, lot and quantity are recorded with GPS. The farmer confirms with an OTP or a signature photo and gets an SMS receipt.
- Crop photographed through the season: Field photos are stamped with time and location and attached to the contract and plot, stage by stage.
- Harvest weighed and verified by lot: Weights, rates and quality are recorded against the lot, so seed issued and seed harvested reconcile on one record.
- Payments with an honest status: Every request and payment is visible to the farmer, from pending to paid, with the reason when something is held.
How the platform fits together
Two field apps write to one secure record. Our team and your team read from it. Analytics and, next, AI models work on the same data.
- Record level: Per plot, per season
- Location: GPS on every photo and seed handover
- Languages: Each farmer's own language
- Exports: CSV for accounts and audits
- Hosting: India, Mumbai region
- Access: Phone OTP, by role
One record, end to end
Every season is a chain of linked records. Nothing is typed twice, and any link can be traced back to the plot.
- Farmer: Verified phone, village, consent
- Plot: Satellite boundary, survey number, mapped area
- Season contract: Crop, variety, seed company
- Seed lot issued: Lot, quantity, GPS, OTP receipt
- Field photos: Stage by stage, time and location stamped
- Harvest lot: Weight, quality, matched to seed issued
- Payment: Request to paid, visible to the farmer
FarmConnect: every field, on record
Our own app and portal, built in-house and rolling out across our farmer network. Every plot, seed lot, field visit and payment is recorded where it happens.
Your field officer gets a login to the same screen we work on. If purity, progress or seed use is ever in question, you will not be asking us. You will be looking.
- Farmer app, in the farmer's own language (Rolling out): Each farmer sees their crops and season timeline, seed received, payment status and local weather on their own phone.
- Field app for our organisers (Rolling out): Plot boundaries drawn on a satellite map, seed handover with GPS and an OTP receipt, and crop photos stamped with time and location.
- Portal with read access for seed companies (Rolling out): Your team sees the same records we do: farmer and plot register, stage-wise crop journey, inspections and harvest lots.
- Seed issued, matched to seed harvested (Rolling out): Foundation seed given out and seed harvested are reconciled on the same plot record, lot by lot.
- AI and machine-learning forecasting (Next): Models trained on our geotagged field photos, weather and satellite data, to plan acreage, flag crop stress early and forecast harvest volumes.

Built for the field, not the office
Their own language, with audio
Each farmer's own language by default, plain everyday words, and recorded audio on key labels.
Three taps to anything
Big buttons, pickers instead of typing, and no task more than three taps away.
Runs on a basic phone
Designed for a 2 GB Android phone, with photos compressed before they upload.
Weak signal, no lost work
Entries queue on the phone and retry when the network returns, without creating duplicates.
Security and data residency
Data stays in India
Servers and database run in the Mumbai region.
Bank details encrypted
Never shown to organisers or in the farmer app.
Photos kept private
Served only through short-lived signed links, never public URLs.
Access by role
Organisers use the field app only. Seed companies get read-only access to their own records.
Registered phones only
Sign-in by one-time code to numbers VPL or an organiser has registered.
Consent on record
Recorded in the farmer's own language at onboarding, under India's DPDP Act.
Farmer data, handled with consent
Field photos with a location and a survey number identify a person, so we treat them as personal data under India's DPDP Act.
- Consent is recorded at onboarding, in the farmer's own language, against a versioned set of terms, with a timestamp.
- We never sell personal data. Identified records stay inside VPL.
- Anything shared outside is aggregated to village or grid level, with exact locations and IDs removed.
- A farmer can withdraw consent.
