ThinkAg

What ThinkAg does

ThinkAg, legally registered as KrishiNavachar Private Limited, is an India-based not-for-profit platform founded in 2018 that operates as an ecosystem convening body for the country's AgFoodTech sector. The organization connects 2,500+ agritech startups and scale-ups with corporates, investors, financial institutions, policymakers, FPOs, multilaterals, and academia through four pillars: rigorous research, ecosystem convenings, startup interventions, and capacity building. Its operating geography is India, with a registered office in Jaipur and an additional contact office in Mumbai; staff size is reported at 1–10.

The product surface consists of structured programs and flagship events rather than proprietary software. Flagship offerings include the annual Harvesting Tomorrow Summit (held in Goa, with a third edition in September 2025) and the Look East AgTech Summit (LEATS), co-organized with the Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Supporting programs — AgLab (curated dialogue among innovators and corporates), AgPartnership (curated corporate-startup pilot matchmaking), and AgConnect (practitioner knowledge sharing) — sit alongside recurring research output such as the annual AgFoodTech Innovation and Investment Reports. Distribution is event-driven, supported by LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and YouTube channels.

Monetization is a mix of event delegate registration (INR 10,000 + GST for domestic; USD 150 for international at the flagship summit), corporate and institutional sponsorships across tiered partnership packages (e.g., Rabo Foundation as Title Partner, Google Cloud as Tech & Innovation Partner, State Bank of India and Excel Industries as Lead Track Partners), and research publication distribution. No institutional funding rounds, PE/VC backing, or revenue figures are disclosed in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• IDH – Sustainable Trade Initiative: Global non-profit convening public-private partnerships in sustainable agriculture and food value chains. Comparable to ThinkAg in its multi-stakeholder convening, partnership-building and sustainability/ESG orientation but with international scope and donor funding.
• CII (Confederation of Indian Industry): India's largest industry chamber with dedicated agri and food panels, policy working groups and national/regional convenings. Comparable as a high-scale convening and thought-leadership body serving agribusiness and agri-input corporates across India.
• Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCC&I): Established (1833) Indian industry chamber co-organizing ThinkAg's LEATS summit. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder convening body but with a broader mandate spanning manufacturing, MSME and rural development beyond agri-food.
• Nasscom: Indian technology industry trade body running deep-tech and agritech programmes, research reports and startup convenings. Comparable as a national-level ecosystem enabler with industry research, events and policy advocacy, though broader than ThinkAg's agri-food focus.
• FICCI: Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry with agriculture, food processing and startups verticals that publish reports and host convenings. Comparable to ThinkAg's policy-research and multi-stakeholder convening role but operating at broader industry scale.

Direct peers

• FoodHack: Global food-tech ecosystem platform running meetups, summits and a curated community of startups, investors and corporates. Comparable to ThinkAg's AgLab/AgConnect convening model applied specifically to food-tech rather than the full agri-food value chain.
• Villgro: Indian impact-focused incubator and fund for agriculture, health, and climate startups. Comparable to ThinkAg as a fellow India-based ecosystem builder providing incubation, partnerships and capacity-building for agri-food innovators.
• Intellecap: India-based advisory and investment firm focused on agriculture, energy and social enterprise. Comparable to ThinkAg in convening agri-food stakeholders, publishing sector intelligence and enabling corporate-startup partnerships in Indian agriculture.
• AgFunder: Global AgTech-focused media, research and investor network publishing AgFunder News and the annual AgFunder AgriFoodTech Investment Report. Directly comparable to ThinkAg as an ecosystem intelligence and convening platform for agri-food technology, though operating globally rather than India-focused.

Regional players

• Federation of Seed Industry of India (FSII): Indian seed industry association led previously by ThinkAg co-founder/advisor Ram Kaundinya as Director General. Comparable as an industry body that convenes agri-input players, publishes research and engages policymakers — but focused on seed rather than the full AgFoodTech spectrum.
