🚀 New Edition of WISE Tech Insights is Live: The Unicorn Paradox – Why Indian Agritech Needs Integration, Not Disruption India’s $370B agricultural economy is undergoing a technological shift, yet one puzzle continues to dominate conversations: Why has Indian Agritech not produced a single stable unicorn despite thousands of startups, massive market need, and strong policy support? In this edition, we unpack this paradox and present a grounded, systems-level narrative of where the sector truly stands. Key themes include: 🔹 Why the Western “automation-first” template fails in a 2-acre farm economy 🔹 Why Agritech is fundamentally a platform ecosystem—not a robotics revolution 🔹 The critical role of AgriStack, PACS digitalization, and FPOs as system enablers 🔹 How high CAC, low margins, and subsidy-induced behavioural incentives reshape unit economics 🔹 Why the real breakthrough will come from integration and patient, phygital models - not blitzscaling 🔹 And which segment - Agri-Fintech or converged super-platforms, is best positioned to become India’s first durable Agritech unicorn The core thesis is simple: True transformation requires collaboration, not just disruption. It demands a synergy between startups, FPOs, PACS, and the emerging digital public infrastructure that is quietly redefining the rules of scale. 👉 Read the article and join the conversation: Which model will cross the unicorn threshold first—and what should policymakers, founders, and investors prioritise in this next phase of Agritech? #WISEtechInsights #Agritech #Innovation #DigitalAgriculture #AgriStack #Phygital #ERS #SPJIMR #TechForImpact

On Saturday, we hosted WISE Tech India Pitchathon 2025- IGNITE,  a full-day learning forum designed exclusively for ecosystem leaders who are shaping India’s start-up landscape. The sessions brought together incubator managers, programme leads, and ecosystem enablers for a day of meaningful conversations, practical frameworks, and hands-on learning. We explored what it truly takes to understand founders deeply, build investor-ready and market-ready ventures, and curate high-quality cohorts that create real impact. The discussions were honest, collaborative, and grounded in the real challenges faced by ecosystem builders across the country. A heartfelt thank you to every leader who joined us and contributed their experience, insights, and energy. Your participation made WISE Tech India Pitchathon 2025- IGNITE a powerful space for shared learning and ecosystem strengthening.
