I’ve been thinking about starting something in agriculture/agri-business on a small scale, and I’d love to connect with people who are interested in building something together.

I’ve seen quite a few posts from people, especially those working in corporate jobs, who want to get into agriculture but don’t know where to start or don’t have the right resources.

I’m not only looking to work with corporate professionals. If you’re interested in agriculture and have an idea, skills, experience, or even just the motivation to build something, I’m open to connecting.

A little about me:

I come from a farmer family

I have access to farming land

I have hands-on experience with farming

Labour is available at relatively low cost

I’m willing to start small and learn along the way

What I’m missing right now is a good idea and the right people to build it with.

Maybe you have an idea but no land.

Maybe you have business/marketing/tech skills but no access to farming.

Maybe you’re working a corporate job and have always wanted to try something in agriculture.

Or maybe you simply have an interesting idea that you think could work.

Share your idea or tell me how you could contribute. Even if you’re not sure whether it would work, I’d still love to hear it.

I’m not looking for people who just want to discuss ideas endlessly. I’d like to find a few serious people who are willing to start small, test something, learn, and build together.

If this sounds interesting, comment below or DM me. Let’s connect and see what we can build.

Hey everyone,

I’m exploring the idea of starting Stevia and Lemongrass cultivation on agricultural land that I have access to. I’m still in the research stage, so I’d really appreciate some practical advice from people who are already doing this or have experience with medicinal/aromatic crops.

I’m particularly interested in understanding:

Is Stevia cultivation actually profitable at a small/medium scale in India?

What kind of initial investment, yield and ROI can realistically be expected?

What are the major challenges climate, irrigation, pests, harvesting, labour, etc.?

Who are the actual buyers? Is it better to build a B2B model (herbal companies, tea manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, extract manufacturers, etc.) or explore B2C products?

For Lemongrass, is it better to sell the raw crop or go one step further and look into essential oil/distillation?

Most importantly, how do you secure buyers before investing heavily in cultivation?

I’m also looking at this from a business/partnership perspective, rather than simply growing a crop and selling it in the mandi.

For example, one person could handle cultivation/land, while another could bring expertise in farming, processing, market research, sales, or B2B buyer connections. Eventually, it could potentially become a small farm-to-market business rather than just commodity farming.

So if anyone is already growing Stevia/Lemongrass, working with buyers, running a processing unit, or seriously considering getting into this, I’d love to connect.

I’m open to partnerships if there’s a good fit and someone wants to explore this seriously together. Feel free to DM me, especially if you have practical experience rather than just theoretical knowledge.

Also, if you’ve tried Stevia or Lemongrass cultivation and decided against it, I’d be equally interested in hearing why.

What other things do you think I should research or validate before putting money into this?

Looking for honest feedback positive or negative.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I finally decided to post here.

I come from a farmer family. I've worked in the fields myself, I have access to farmland, good relationships with local farmers, and I'm ready to invest my own money into building something meaningful.

The idea isn't just to start a business. I want to build a brand that people genuinely trust.

I want to make products that go directly from the farm to the consumer after processing, with complete transparency. I want customers to know exactly where their food came from, how it was grown, how it was processed, and why they can trust it.

A couple of ideas I already have are:

Cold-pressed mustard oil

Jaggery (gur)

The reason I mention jaggery is because most people assume it's automatically healthy, but after seeing production myself, I realized that's often not the case. In many places the process is unhygienic, and some producers even add sugar or other things to make it sweeter or improve appearance. I believe it can be done much better.

But I'm not attached to these ideas. If there's a better opportunity in agriculture, I'm open to exploring it.

What I'm really looking for is people who want to build physical products, not just software or another SaaS startup.

If you've ever wanted to create something tangible that people use every day, I'd love to connect.

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who can bring something to the table, whether that's:

Experience in food processing or manufacturing

Branding and marketing

Supply chain or operations

Packaging

Sales

Agriculture knowledge

Or even just a strong work ethic and long-term commitment

If you DM me, tell me:

What you're currently doing

What kind of business you'd like to build

What resources or skills you have

How you think you could contribute

I'm not looking for people chasing quick money. Building a consumer brand takes years, and there will be challenges. But I'd rather spend those years creating something real than wondering "what if."

If you're someone who wants to leave the corporate grind and build a business with genuine impact, let's talk.

Even if we don't end up working together, I'd love to exchange ideas with people who think the same way. You never know where one conversation can lead.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance from people who have experience in international trade.

A close friend of mine is currently studying in Uzbekistan, and we're planning to start a small export-import business between India and Uzbekistan. Since he is already there, we believe it could help us understand the local market and build connections.

We're still in the planning stage, so I'd really appreciate advice on a few things:

What documents and registrations are required in both India and Uzbekistan?

Do we need to register a company in one or both countries?

What products have good demand for export/import between these two countries?

How do we find reliable buyers and suppliers?

What are the common mistakes beginners should avoid?

What should we know about customs, logistics, taxes, and payments?

We're planning to start on a small scale and grow gradually, so any practical tips, personal experiences, or useful resources would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I live near Sadar Bazar, Delhi, one of the largest wholesale markets in India, with access to thousands of suppliers across multiple product categories.

I'm exploring the idea of starting a product sourcing service for small businesses, online sellers, retailers, and startups.

Here's how it would work:

You tell me what product you currently buy or want to source.

You share details such as:

Where you currently buy it from (if possible)

The price you're paying

Quantity requirements

Quality specifications

I'll use my local network and market access to find the same or similar product at a more competitive price from wholesalers and manufacturers.

My goal is simple: help businesses reduce their sourcing costs and improve margins without spending weeks searching for suppliers.

I can assist with:

Retail store inventory

Amazon/Flipkart sellers

E-commerce brands

Promotional products

Packaging materials

Household goods

Stationery

Toys

Gift items

General merchandise

And many other categories

At this stage, I'm mainly looking to understand the sourcing challenges businesses face and see whether I can genuinely provide value.

If you're a business owner, reseller, or online seller interested in reducing product costs, feel free to comment or send me a DM with the product details. I'll let you know if I can find a better sourcing option.

Looking forward to connecting and helping businesses source smarter!

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I come from a farmer family and we have some land near Delhi NCR. I want to start something different from traditional farming and I’m interested in contract farming or growing crops based on market demand.

I want to know:

Which crops/products are in high demand?

What can be grown on small land with good profit?

How can I find buyers before farming?

Do restaurants, grocery stores, or companies buy directly from farmers?

Also, if anyone is interested in getting something grown on demand or wants direct farming supply near Delhi NCR, feel free to comment or message me.

Would really appreciate suggestions and advice from experienced people. Thanks!
