Avio Smart Market Stack Ltd (ASMS), formerly Bartronics India Ltd, and Ampivo Smart Technologies are set to deepen their collaboration following the MoU between the companies, with plans to introduce its digital agriculture platform “Agri Kisan Setu” across identified villages within ASMS’ rural network.
It has independently developed and launched its agriculture application, Agri Kisan Setu, available on the Google Play Store in seven languages. The platform is already being used in villages where it is conducting farmer trainings and pilot programmes, enabling the company to gather on-ground feedback and continuously refine its technology, content and service workflows.
As part of its broader expansion strategy, it is working with FPOs, NGOs, institutions and other ecosystem partners across India to extend its digital agriculture platform to a larger farmer base. The proposed collaboration with ASMS is an important part of this expansion, providing an opportunity to introduce the platform across ASMS’ established rural network.
Its platform supports agri enterprises with farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, and rural stakeholders by providing access to modern farm tools, farm management assistance, agricultural commodity-wise market information, and bringing together key agricultural services through a unified digital interface, including market price discovery, buyer and seller connectivity, agricultural knowledge and tutorials, government-scheme information, and specialised services such as drone services to improve farm productivity, decision-making, supply chain efficiency, and streamline farm operations, reduce costs, and enhance farm income.
The platform is also being developed to support carbon credits and digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification (dMRV), with the objective of enabling farmers to participate in eligible sustainability and carbon reduction-linked programmes. It is also developing digital workflows to help farmers find government schemes and entitlements relevant to their location, profile, and agricultural activities.
N Vidhya Sagar Reddy, managing director, Avio Smart Market Stack Limited, said, “ASMS is focused on building an ecosystem that connects rural communities with markets, technology, financial services and new economic opportunities. Ampivo has developed and deployed a live digital agriculture platform, and we see an opportunity to extend these capabilities across our network villages. Together, ASMS’ rural reach and Ampivo’s technology can provide farmers with easier access to agricultural information, services, markets and emerging sustainability opportunities.”
Anupam Shah, chief operating officer, Ampivo Smart Technologies, said, “Ampivo has progressed from technology development to live deployment, with our application available on the Google Play Store and being used through our pilot programmes. Our multilingual and configurable platform is designed to adapt to different geographies, crops and farmer requirements. We are now expanding through partnerships with FPOs, NGOs and institutions across India, and ASMS provides an important opportunity to take Ampivo to a much larger rural ecosystem.”
