What Agroshift does

Agroshift is a Bangladesh-headquartered, Singapore-incorporated agritech startup that operates a 'phy-gital' (physical + digital) agri-commerce platform connecting smallholder farmers, agri-processors, institutional buyers, and end consumers across a single value chain. The platform is structured around three integrated modules: Digital Trade (demand aggregation around factory workplace hubs and a nationwide micro-entrepreneur reseller network delivering essential groceries at scale), Processing & Private Label (verified raw material sourcing, contract manufacturing, and branded product development trusted by leading Bangladeshi conglomerates), and Cross Border Trade (multi-country sourcing and customs-integrated logistics for essential commodities such as pulses, rice, wheat, and edible oils). The platform combines a digital ordering and traceability layer with physical infrastructure — factory pickup points and drop-points operated by own staff and micro-entrepreneurs — yielding operational metrics including 450,949 cumulative orders, 6,000+ farmers across 500+ clusters, 30,000+ MT of traded volume, and 4-day average customs clearance.

The company generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on facilitated sourcing and trade, managed supply chain services to agri-processors and institutional buyers (including Nestlé MENA), and margin on its own 20+ branded private label SKUs distributed through reseller and institutional channels. Its go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales to processors and global buyers, channel sales via micro-entrepreneur resellers, and product-led digital ordering for factory workers and peri-urban households. Agroshift is backed by Shorooq Partners, Anchorless Bangladesh, ADB Ventures, and Zyptera VC, and has raised approximately USD 2.05M in disclosed equity plus a USD 30K grant since founding in 2022. Co-founders Qazi Bouland (CEO), Diptha Saha (COO), and Rameez Haque (CCO) lead a team of 11-50 operating from a Singapore global headquarters and a Dhaka operating office.

Core offering

Agroshift operates a unified "phy-gital" agri-commerce platform that connects smallholder farmers, agri-processors, and buyers across Bangladesh and select cross-border corridors. Its three product modules—Digital Trade (workplace pickup points and reseller-led demand aggregation for affordable groceries), Processing & Private Label (verified raw material sourcing, contract manufacturing, and private label branding), and Cross Border Trade (customs-integrated sourcing of pulses, wheat, edible oil, and rice)—share a single digital infrastructure that coordinates supply, demand, logistics, and traceability from farm to end buyer.

Product overview

Agroshift operates as a unified agri-commerce platform with three integrated modules: Digital Trade (digital retail and demand aggregation via reseller networks and workplace micro-fulfillment), Processing & Private Label (verified raw-material sourcing, tech-enabled supply chain, and private-label development for consumer brands), and Cross Border Trade (international sourcing and trade facilitation with customs integration across multiple countries). The three modules share a common digital infrastructure layer and are designed to interoperate across the full value chain from farmer to end consumer.

Broad incumbents
