WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES 2018 INDIA RANK NO.4
EM3 AgriServices
EM3 AgriServices
India’s EM3 AgriServices brings expensive farming technology to
farmers on a pay-for-use basis in order to help small-scale farmers keep up
with globalization and advances in agriculture tech. It does so through its
farming-as-a-service platform, which works not through just an app, but through
physical call centers and human representatives that interact with its largely
offline consumer base. Each center is “equipped to handle a comprehensive suite
of basic and precision farm operations throughout the entire crop production
cycle,” according to EM3’s website. So far, the company has worked with more
than 8,000 farms via its 10 service centers, and a $10 million Series B funding
round promises to expand EM3’s work to more provinces in India. EM3 has also
partnered with local governments, like Rajasthan, India, in order to get
farmers engaged in the service, and has also partnered with Trimble and John
Deere, which provide technical support.
