Indian Farmers don’t have it easy. 80% of them are small-scale farmers who lack resources to sustain through drought, debt, and crop failure or to keep up with rising fuel prices and labour costs. Devi Murthy is helping solve their problems through her cool new start up, Kamal Kisan.
Devi and her team manufacture low cost mechanisation equipment for India’s small scale farmers.

They deserve to be treated as customers,” explains Devi.
