Message
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is the apex public research organization
which has been playing a key role in the innovation processes concerning agriculture.
Traditionally, ICAR has played its technology development and dissemination role, limiting
itself to the frontline demonstrations in the KVKs as an outreach activity. But with growing
agriculture-dependent economy, it is also important to commercialize potential
technologies enabling first generation entrepreneurs to take up agri-startups in order to
accelerate the goal of doubling farmers' income by 2022.

I compliment ICAR for developing a comprehensive strategy, in line with GoI initiatives such
as National Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Atal innovation Mission and bringing out
this particular publication “Agri startups: Reflection of ICAR Technologies in Market”.

I am sure that this effort to showcase the success stories of Startups nurtured by ICAR
research institutes would foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture
sector. It would also encourage the young entrepreneurs to innovate and commercially
promote viable products and services.

I congratulate the Team ICAR for this meaningful documentation and wish success to all the
Startups in their respective endeavors.

(Radha Mohan Singh)

Message
Agriculture research has evolved over the last decade in a much more dynamic and
innovative manner. In the changing socio-economic context, incubation of
new/existing technologies that significantly improve delivery method, reduce the
costs and help in conservation and sustainable utilization of the natural resources
have become important. It is commendable that Indian Council of Agricultural
Research (ICAR) has made corrected efforts to engage its network of R&D labs for
promoting agri-startups.

The documentation of successful cases which are being presented in “Agri startups:
Reflection of ICAR Technologies in Market”, in a very lucid way, is a testimony of the
commitment of ICAR in this cause.

I am sure, ICAR would continue to harness and synergize the innovative research
and develop market-driven products to enable servicers in agriculture sector for the
cause of society.

Foreword
In order to achieve the goal of doubling the farmers' income by 2022, it is imperative that
the potential of agriculture research is optimally realized by extending it in a manner that
leads to new products, services and systems that add value to bring about significant
changes in income, employment and livelihood security; not only in rural India but also to
fuel the entire economy. In other words, bringing knowledge to create value has to be at
the centre of the new approach. This can be achieved if ventures are created in large
number and nurtured through appropriate interventions/incentives/investments by
generating new technologies, allowing access to latest technologies, arranging required
services and supplies to optimally use the technologies, and providing the required
venture skills. This requires setting up of an effective incubation system that nurtures
venture development. Realising the need for incubation support and nurturing the
techno-entrepreneurs has been taken up in the Agribusiness Incubation Centres
established in 24 ICAR institutes, keeping in view, the spectrum of technologies, available
infrastructure and the core competency of the institutes.

The “National Agriculture Innovation Fund” of ICAR provides systematic ethos to


technology transfer and commercialization. With this support mechanism, ICAR-NAARM
is promoting agribusiness while handholding agri-business incubators by inter-alia
developing modules, guidelines and other forms of learning material for capacity
building. The Council strives to accelerate development of entrepreneurial companies
from idea stage towards self-sustaining successful business.

The Startup India, a flagship initiative of GoI has further given a stimulus to the Agri-
Business Incubators to nurture innovation and Startups in the country. Supporting the
programme, NAARM along with IPTM Unit of ICAR headquarters have compiled the
profile of 100 Agri-Startups of different domains of agriculture & allied areas. These
startups have been supported by ICAR at various stage such as technology license,
incubation, training, IP filing etc. This publication would inspire the new & budding agri-
entrepreneurs to endeavor into agri-business ecosystem to foster the economy of the
country and spread the movement of Agri-Start Ups.

Following the Government of India's initiative for promoting Start-Ups in the


country, a brief study was undertaken among all ICAR institutions by IP&TM Unit
and NAARM to contour the Agri-Startups associated with ICAR institutions either
through technology transfer or business incubation across the country. There are
about 24 Agribusiness Incubators in India with the support of National Agricultural
Innovation Fund besides IP&TM unit in all institutions. Number of technologies that
were transferred since 2006 is more than 1250 and still increasing. These
technologies were transferred to different stakeholders like MNCs, Indian
Companies, SMEs, Government organizations, Non-Government organizations and
Startup Entrepreneurs. Based on these base level data at IP& TM Unit, we tried to
capture the status of 100 selected entrepreneurs, who have partnered with ICAR, as
a part of its technology transfer process and/or incubation process.

“Agri-startups: Reflection of ICAR Technologies in Market” is a brief outline of these


startup entrepreneurs.

This compilation would provide a glimpse of the startup panorama of India and
would inspire more and more youth to be part of this National Mission of Startup
India and Make in India towards fostering and building entrepreneurship in
agriculture. The objective of this publication is to inspire the youth to come into this
sector for a better future.

We are grateful to Dr T. Mohapatra, Secretarty DARE and Director General, ICAR for
his constant encouragement to complete this document. Authors are thankful to
Directors of various ICAR Institutes and start-up companies for providing inputs for
successful compilation of this document.

Introduction

India is an agrarian economy with rich resources of traditional indigenous knowledge, biodiversity
and human capital. It has a huge potential for promoting agri-based innovations that promise
solutions to many of the current challenges faced by the sector. Till recently agricultural innovations
of Indian has mainly been driven by public sector. The National Agricultural Research and Education
System (NARES) is a major stakeholder in agricultural research with a focus on technology creation
and its delivery to other stakeholders such as farmers, producer groups, retailers, corporations, civil
societies and private players. The current needs of the stakeholders warrant NARES to transform into
a more pluralistic innovation system addressing the needs of the consumers. The success of these
technologies can also enhance incomes of the stakeholders including farmers. It is important that
these innovative technologies, processes and products from the NARES system utilize in such a way
that efficiency in agri-economic system is significantly enhances.

The NARES, therefore is, gradually started shifting from 'a supply-driven to demand driven and
market-led' agricultural innovation system, involving different stakeholders. In this transition, issues
of technology transfers through commercialization from public research, gaps of knowledge in new
product development (NPD) processes for the markets by attracting agri-entrepreneurs through agri
incubators have started to emerge.

Incubators are recognized as “technology-led and knowledge-driven enterprises” as they help in


speedy commercialization of innovations and research outputs. Technology business incubators not
only help in growth of technology based new enterprises but also improve survival rate of the agri-
entrepreneurs who are not only required to act as innovator but also for economic growth and job
creation. They have immense potential to improve the livelihoods of stakeholders in agri-production
and consumption systems in rural regions.

The incubators help in mustering support services for start-ups with respect to technology refining,
validation, business services including strategy, planning and scale up operations, IP services, help in
finding funds etc. Compared to other sectors like engineering, pharmaceuticals, ICT, machinery,
consumer goods etc., this concept is at an early stage in the agriculture and food sector. Even at the
global level, there is start of evolution of a variety of agribusiness incubators and many are still at
early stage levels.

The processes of technology transfer from academic institutions to industry have emerged during the
last two decades following the “Bayh-Dole Act of 1980”, an amendment to the patent code of United
States. It paved way to claiming ownership in intellectual property on research funded by U.S.
Government. Soon this led to similar initiatives in India. In the Indian NARES, Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) had taken the stewardship of technology commercialization through
the promulgation of IP and technology commercialization policy in 2006. The IP&TM scheme
launched during 2008 can be seen as a driver towards implementation of the policy. Under this
scheme, Institute Technology Management Units (ITMUs) were established across all ICAR

1
institutes. These initial steps of ITMU scheme grants led to the building of vibrant IP ecosystem in the
NARES. In terms of visible gains, the number of filings under various IP categories have increased
significantly.

To upscale the process 22 of BPDs in NARES were establised with National Agricultural Innovation
Project (NAIP). The overall objective of the project grants was to initiate this new mode in NARS and
internalize the scope of incubation into the system. Units under BPD projects sought to provide a
wide range of services ranging from incubation facilities, research support and business services such
as office space, access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services, advisories on
management, and marketing, technical, legal and financial issues. The work in this project also
evolved new partnerships between NARES institutes and technology seeking companies through
technology validation, technology transfer and enterprise development processes. The impact of
units under the BPD project can also be gauged through concerted efforts of nurturing and skill
development of entrepreneurs along with commercialisation of technologies. Ninety one incubates
graduated from these centres during the project period. The project also helped the entrepreneurs to
commercialise their business ideas using research facilities of the institutes and provided pilot level
production facilities for the prospective entrepreneurs.

The initial success achieved in the ITMU scheme for initiation of technology transfer process and
later through the achievements through the BPD units established under the NAIP laid the basis for
providing a continuum in the NARES for technology commercialization, incubation and
entrepreneurship development. The experience in these two projects led to the new thinking across
policy makers and NARS leading to development of National Agricultural Innovation Fund. Under
the component I it is clear that IPTM scheme is now into the next phase to provide a continuum of
early work. Under the component II of the NAIF, a target of 50 agribusiness incubators has been
envisaged. Till date, 24 ABIs have been granted. These incubators have together helping in more than
150 agri-entrepreneurs from different backgrounds including some companies. With the recent
announcement of start-up India policy and startup definition, about 100 entrepreneurs who can be
defined as agri-startups supported by ICAR Agri-business incubation centers. This compendium
AgRIM (Agri-startups: Reflections ICAR technologies in Market) is the overview of the efforts of
these 24 Agri-Business Incubators of ICAR to bring these startups to the market for enhancing the
efficiency in the value chain of different agricultural sectors.

This compendium is expected to create more network across the canvas of emerging agri-startups.
Consolidation of efforts across diverse centres encourage cross learning within each sector.

Way forward

This compendium has been brought with the objective to bring light to the rising Agri
startups with the support of ICAR based Agri-Business Incubators (ABI). The
compilation of 100 Agripreneurs profile and their success stories who took a
different path to succeed will encourage more professionals to join the
entrepreneurial journey. The book represents Agristartups in various sectors of
agriculture viz. Bio Fertilizers and Pesticides, Food processing, Crop Production,
Fisheries, Biotechnology, Textiles and Farm Machinery. These young Agripreneurs
with dynamic thinking are using technologies developed by the ICAR as well as
taking the support of the ABIs for increasing their stakes in the overall value creation
in the supply chain ultimately benefitting the farmers.

The data bring out the importance of the role of Technology Business Incubators with
enhanced opportunities for nurturing and building new platforms for agri-business
and agri-entrepreneurship in the country. Forging formal links and developing
partnership with schemes and projects operating under other agencies of
Government of India, successful NGOs, professional bodies and associations is one
way to take forward the early initiatives and success gained. Accelerating technology
transfer process can trigger more agri-based start-ups, and attract more entrepreneurs
across the country.

This publication is just a glimpse of the startup ecosystem emerging in Agriculture


sector with immense opportunities for leveraging the future investment supporting
innovation in agri business.
