PM Agritech
(India Edition)
Agritech product management in India means designing for vernacular languages, voice and video over text, and offline-first connectivity, since field officers — not app UX — still drive most farmer trust and adoption. Companies like DeHaat, Ninjacart, and AgroStar track success through active farmers per season, revenue per farmer, and field officer productivity rather than typical SaaS metrics.
