About KRIMT
We exist to fix a broken system.
India's farmers feed 1.4 billion people. Yet 70% of them earn below the poverty line — not because they don't work hard enough, but because the system between farm and market is stacked against them. KRIMT is changing that.
Our Mission
Fair prices. Fast payments. No middlemen.
KRIMT was founded on a single belief: that the farmer who grows your food deserves to be paid fairly for it. Today, the average Indian farmer receives less than 20 paise for every rupee a consumer spends on fresh produce. The rest is captured by a chain of intermediaries who add cost but not value.
We built KRIMT to collapse that chain. By connecting farmers directly to supermarkets, restaurants, exporters, and food processors — and by using AI to make pricing transparent and logistics efficient — we're rebuilding the agricultural supply chain from the ground up.
Our mission is simple: ensure every farmer on the KRIMT platform earns at least 40% more than they would selling through traditional mandis — and every buyer pays at least 20% less than they would sourcing through wholesale markets.

The name
KRIMT is Indian agri-tech — not Klimt the painter.
KRIMT (pronounced krim-t) is an agriculture technology company in India. We connect farmers with retailers, hotels, restaurants, and exporters. We are not related to the Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, Kermit the Frog, or K.R. Institute of Management & Technology in Haryana, which is sometimes also abbreviated KRIMT.
Our Story
Born in the fields of Bihar.
The problem becomes personal
Co-founder Pawan Kumar watches his town — farmers sell an entire season's harvest for less than the cost of production. The middleman took 60% of the final sale price. That moment became KRIMT's founding story.

Our Values
What we stand for
Farmer First
Every product decision starts with one question: does this make the farmer's life better? If the answer is no, we don't build it.
Radical Transparency
Prices on KRIMT are visible to both farmers and buyers. No hidden margins. No information asymmetry. The same data that buyers see, farmers see.
Technology with Purpose
We build AI and data tools not to impress investors, but to solve real problems — fair pricing, demand forecasting, quality grading — for people who have never had access to them.
Long-Term Thinking
We're not optimising for the next quarter. We're building infrastructure for Indian agriculture that will still be running in 50 years.
Inclusion by Design
Our app works on 2G. It speaks 12 languages. It has voice input for low-literacy users. Inclusion isn't a feature — it's the foundation.
Accountability
We publish our farmer income data publicly every quarter. If we're not delivering on our promise of 40% higher earnings, we want the world to know.
