Agrostar is a mobile-commerce platform for farmers to procure seeds, crop nutrients, even tractors, at their doorstep. The Sheths have signed up 400,000 farmers, with a quarter converted to customers. “Farmers like AgroStar for quality and reliability, not discounts. That’s how early it is in this market,” says T.C.
