Set up in 2018 by Sajith Abraham and Monak Goyal, MeraTractor is an agritech startup that is also a marketplace consisting of both physical and online sales. It is a ‘Phygital’ marketplace. This Pune-based startup aims to create an entire ecosystem for all those involved in the farm sector. It plans to develop a one-stop market for all participants in the farm sector. 

However, the startup lacks assets but holds complete transactions of the business. Additionally, the sales will deal in agritech based in rural areas. So, the startup plans to enter rural towns to scale its operations.

MeraTractor bags funds fulfilling aims

India is one of the leading countries in agriculture. However, due to a lack of awareness about modern tech and capital, small farmers remain behind in the race. MeraTractor is now dealing as a bridge between small-level farmers and modern-day mechanisms. MeraTractor aims to fulfill all modern tech requirements of farmers. It provides farm mechanisms for low and marginal farmers. 

The aim of creating an ecosystem will be built around various checkpoints. It includes the supply check, demand, financial assistance and documentation, etc.
