About Us

Our journey with building value in the agri finance ecosystem began six years ago. Today, our team has enabled communities, empowered farmers, helped agricultural ecosystems find self-sustenance and made trade and agricultural finance a hassle-free experience for all value chain players.

Our Vision

Make markets work for the smallholder farmers and make agri value chains operate at a higher equilibrium.

Our Mission

To provide smallholder farmers and agri enterprises access to markets through financial intermediation, market linkages and advisory services so that the enterprises and value chains that they are engaged in, operate at a higher equilibrium thereby creating value for all stakeholders in the agri value chain.

India’s largest agri enterprise, Samunnati is an open agri network to unlock the trillion-dollar-plus potential of Indian agriculture with smallholder farmers at the centre of it.
Staying true to its name, Samunnati stands for collective growth & collective prosperity for the agri ecosystem. Serving the entire value chain, Samunnati’s Agri Commerce and Agri Finance solutions enable affiliated Farmer Collectives and the larger ecosystem to be more efficient and productive through multiple technology-enabled interventions and collaborative partnerships. Headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Samunnati has a presence in more than 100 agri value chains spread over 22 states in India and has powered over $1Bn of gross transaction value in its journey so far. Samunnati currently has access to 1500+ Farmer Collectives with a member base of over 6 million farmers and envisions impacting 1 in every 4 farming households through its network by 2027.
