Gramya Ventures started with a vision to provide market access to agricultural products produced by farmers. The business has three core principles, “people, planet, and profit,” which are the core pillars of its business. Gramya provides market intelligence to farmers and technical assistance to help grow and package the farmers’ produce. The planet is the central pillar of Gramya ventures, as the business started with the product, which is the native crop of Indian millet. Millet is the crop that helps achieve sustainability for the planet as it can be grown in less fertile soil and does not require harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides to grow. The mother earth millets also need less water to grow than 1kg of rice production, which requires around 3000-4000 liters of water, and millets require about 250-300 liters of water. The millets also have high nutritional value than their other alternative wheat and rice. The two founders have built sustainable business models that do not require third-party funding.
The business model helps in solving the various UN SDGs. Some of them are
a) Good health and well-being - providing food grains free from harmful fertilizers and good for health.
b) Responsible consumption and production - of the crop requires less water and minimal irrigation facilities, which helps in saving water for sustainable business practices
c) Zero Hunger - especially 2.3 double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers
