About Us
Kheyti helps smallholder farmers battle climate change through the "Greenhouse-in-a-Box", a low-cost greenhouse bundled with end-to-end services. Designed for smallholders, our greenhouse fits in 2% of their land, costs 33% lower than regular greenhouses, protects crops from environmental risks and grows 7x more food with 50x water efficiency. Along with the greenhouse, we work with partners to offer farmers financing, input linkage, training and market linkage services, creating a seamless path towards steady additional incomes of upto ₹1,00,000/year, a 3x increase in farm incomes. See this 2.5 minute video for more.
Through a culture of farmer centric design, we've brought down the cost of the greenhouse significantly to 90% lower than mainstream greenhouses. We've created collaborations with >100 organisations to offer farmers services. We've proven the model with 300 farmers today and will be serving 2,000 farmers in 12 months. We've won various awards for our initial work and have been featured in NatGeo, Outlook Business, FastCo, and Forbes. We are supported by DRK Foundation, Mulago Foundation, Cartier Philanthropy and Acumen. Our vision is to serve a million farmers in 10 years.
