  • Agrosperity Tech Solutions and ASMS Collaborate to Boost Agri Credit, Supply Chains, and Farmer Services

    Agrosperity Tech Solutions MoU ASMS

    Agrosperity Tech Solutions has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Avio Smart Market Stack Limited (ASMS), formerly known as Bartronics India Limited, to explore collaborative initiatives aimed at strengthening India’s agricultural ecosystem through digital technology, financing, and supply-chain integration.

    The collaboration between Agrosperity Tech Solutions and ASMS forms part of Project AVIO Agritech, an initiative by ASMS to develop an integrated agri-services ecosystem by leveraging its extensive rural outreach and financial inclusion infrastructure.

    Over the past several years, ASMS has established one of India’s large financial inclusion networks through its banking correspondent infrastructure, connecting with more than 5,000 villages across the country.

    Building on this foundation, the collaboration with Agrosperity Tech Solutions under Project AVIO Agritech aims to expand complementary services across agriculture, sustainability, rural commerce, and climate-linked initiatives by working with specialised ecosystem partners.

    Agrosperity Tech Solutions: Phygital Model Combining Digital Infrastructure with Franchise Networks

    Headquartered at the IIT Madras Research Park in Chennai, Agrosperity Tech Solutions operates the KiVi (Kisan Vikas) platform — a “phygital” model that combines digital infrastructure with on-ground franchise networks to deliver services such as agricultural credit access, input procurement, agronomy advisory, and market linkages for farmers and agri-entrepreneurs.

    Through the MoU, Agrosperity Tech Solutions and ASMS will explore collaboration across multiple areas of the agricultural value chain.

    The partnership will focus on leveraging ASMS’s rural network to generate farmer leads for agricultural credit solutions, while also supporting agri-commodity supply chain financing for buyers and suppliers.

    Additionally, the collaboration between Agrosperity Tech Solutions and ASMS will seek to expand distribution channels for agricultural inputs and explore opportunities in commodity warehousing and post-harvest infrastructure.

    The companies will also evaluate initiatives related to climate and sustainability, including the development of carbon sequestration solutions for the agriculture sector.

    The partnership aims to combine ASMS’s rural outreach and ecosystem access with the digital and commerce capabilities of Agrosperity Tech Solutions to develop scalable solutions for farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, and rural enterprises.
