KrishiMitra is a complete digital infrastructure for the agriculture sector of Nepal. It is an AI-powered digital platform designed to support smallholder farmers by providing them with real-time weather information, technical solutions, and market access. By integrating smart and affordable farming technologies, affordable sensor-based soil testing, and data-driven insights, we aim to make farming more productive, sustainable, and profitable.

Promoting local and regional trade via enhanced customer and owner connectivity. It is a digital marketplace designed to connect local farmers and consumers effortlessly. Integrated into the KrishiMitra app, KisCo allows farmers to list their surplus products, making them visible to potential buyers within a chosen radius. Consumers can search for available products, contact the farmer, and purchase directly—eliminating unnecessary middlemen and ensuring fair prices for both parties.

Access to high-quality seeds and saplings is one of the most crucial factors for successful farming. However, many farmers in Nepal struggle with the availability of reliable seeds, especially during peak planting seasons. To address this challenge, IRD Seed Bank aims to provide farmers and customers with high-quality seeds and saplings, ensuring they have the right resources at the right time for optimal agricultural productivity.

Transforming abandoned houses into housing space to penetrate tourism into local level. Nepal’s breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality make it an unparalleled destination for travelers. However, safe, affordable, and locally immersive accommodations remain a challenge, especially in rural areas. At the same time, many homes in villages and hillsides lie abandoned as families migrate to cities and abroad. Kutir—a term that signifies a simple, small dwelling for seekers and wanderers—aims to bridge this gap by converting these abandoned houses into low-cost cabins and guest stays.

Solar + electric dual mode dryer system for rural communities. In Nepal’s villages, drying vegetables and herbs has been a long-standing tradition to ensure food availability during off-seasons. However, traditional drying methods rely solely on sunlight, which is often unreliable due to unpredictable weather conditions leading to significant food waste due to fungus development. With Aaditya, farmers and households no longer have to depend solely on sunlight for drying food. This hybrid solution ensures a steady food supply, reduces waste, and enables villagers to preserve vegetables, herbs, etc. efficiently and affordably.

Aatmanirbhar promotes production and consumption at the local level using locally available resources to promote healthier life and bring down expenses. Incense sticks from local flowers, Bamboo crafts and household items, Herbal toothpaste and neem-stick toothbrushes, Organic colors for festivals and art, Straw mats, and many more can be created at home using locally available resources in the villages.

We organize hands-on entrepreneurship camps and workshops for villagers, students, and returnee migrants. These trainings build confidence, business skills, and a problem-solving mindset.

Our goal is to nurture rural innovation and create homegrown businesses that thrive within local ecosystems.
