The company

GeoKrishi helps smallholder farmers adapt to climate stressors and adopt climate-smart agricultural practices through digital learning content and advisory services.

The problem

Without technical understanding or advice, smallholder farmers in Nepal are unable to respond to the risks of climate change. Extension services, input suppliers, tools and technologies are often inefficient and not tailored to the changing climate.

GSMA project

In March 2022, GeoKrishi received a GSMA grant to upgrade its existing system reach more smallholder farmers with its bundled smart agricultural solutions. The GSMA grant was also used to build a sustainable public-private-community business model by engaging closely with local government, local service providers and farmer cooperatives.

Outcomes

GeoKrishi has expanded the scope of its services to facilitate microloans, access to agricultural inputs and connect farmers with relevant markets.

Traction

As of March 2025, GeoKrishi has more than 203,000 direct users, just over 54% of whom are women. To find out more, read the GeoKrishi case study.

A message from the founder

“Agriculture is no longer just farming, it is a business. It is important to attract our youth and farming communities for catalyzing agricultural transformation through data, analytics and digital technological innovation that bridges the gap between science and practices.”
