A Digital Gateway
for Rural India
The growth in physical & digital infrastructure has amplified the productivity of tens of millions of Indians in the last decade. So many platforms have risen up to recognise their needs & enable urban growth.
Our mission is to do the same for hundreds of millions of rural Indians.

Addressable Farmer Base
Operational since mid 2023, RuTrust AgriGate India Private Limited (AgriGate) is a Farmer First Rural-Tech firm that has established an end-to-end digital, scalable model with farmers registered across Bihar, West Bengal & MP — and expanding across India.
Business Overview
We partner with all corporates — whether they buy commodities or sell inputs, equipment, insurance & other services.
We work with smallholder farmers, local Agri-entrepreneurs, and rural youth — who are the future of Indian agriculture. We equip them with a digital platform — marketplace access, training, insights, finance & logistics to run their business from their village with the identity and respect they deserve as entrepreneurs.
Sell Smarter
Learn Faster
Our App
One integrated digital platform connects farmers directly to Buyers, Inputs, Insurance, Services & Content.
How we do it: Through our Channel Partner network in every village and a user-friendly mobile app, farmers can sell their crops, rent drones, tractors & agri equipment, purchase inputs & services, access schemes, receive data-driven insights, and connect with their community — digitally and efficiently.
Farmer First
Farmers are inherently entrepreneurs – constantly dealing with uncertainties and risk – so we offer them a platform with commercial solutions to better manage them.
And like us all, farmers dream of a better life for themselves and their families — and they deserve a partner who understands this & will deliver it to them where they are. Because we recognize these aspirations, AgriGate is a tool to fulfil them.
How we help: We equip them with the same digital tools that urban entrepreneurs rely on — marketplace access, training, insights, finance & logistics enabling them to run their business from their village.
Our Team
At AgriGate, we are relentlessly forward-looking—obsessed with delivering an exceptional user experience through modern, integration-ready technology. Our culture encourages experimentation and rapid adoption of cutting-edge solutions while also retaining a strong focus on pragmatism and frugality.
