21 Apr 2026 CW Team

KrishiBuddy aggregates satellite-based crop monitoring, predictive AI and multilingual input processing to provide real-time agricultural intelligence to farmers and Farmer Producer Organisations. The platform supports voice, text and image interaction in regional languages and incorporates a profit calculator linked to live mandi prices and input costs to support crop planning and decision making. The service is designed to connect domestic producers with institutional buyers and export markets while addressing language and technology barriers.

The company outlined a scalable software as a service business model with B2B monetisation through an agri-input marketplace, large scale subscriptions and verified data services to facilitate institutional credit access. Avi Polymers reported a net profit of Rs 70.198 million (mn) in the third quarter of FY26, which the company attributed to improved operational execution and business momentum. The firm also highlighted a zero barrier adoption strategy intended to accelerate uptake among small and marginal farmers.

Management indicated plans to further develop the platform with 10T led solutions and deeper integration with producer organisations to increase efficiency and global competitiveness of Indian agriculture. Backed by a zero-debt operational foundation and an expanding forward order book in the AI agritech space, the company expects to capture market share across emerging technology verticals. Avi Polymers was established in 1993 and is listed on BSE under scrip code 539288.
