Last Friday, I moderated the opening plenary of the Sankalp Bharat 2025 to explore the next phase of transformation of Indian agriculture. We didn’t just discuss problems but mapped the big shifts required for Indian agriculture over the next decade.

Here are four things we all agreed we must work towards:

Tech led transformation: Leveraging AI and digital infrastructure is critical to democratising access to finance and markets for smallholder farmers.

Climate resilience: The shift towards climate-smart farming and decarbonised value chains is not just an environmental necessity but a driver for long term economic stability.

Access to affordable capital: Indian farmers and farm enterprises need access to affordable capital and insurance products. We need to leverage our regional rural banks, agriculture financing institutions to unlock more capital and risk mitigation instruments.

Collaborative impact: Real change requires deep synergy between agtech innovators, investors, and policymakers to solve for scale and sustainability.
