Corporate social responsibility

Rural development

Kryzen began on our own farm in Satara. Today we build, hire and train in rural India, so more farm families can earn more from the land they already have.

Why it matters

Our commitment

Most Indian farmers work on small plots, with uncertain weather and prices. Protected farming can change that, but only if it is affordable, well built and backed by real training. Our rural work starts with these three things.

What we do

Our programmes

Work that is part of how Kryzen builds, trains and runs every day, not a one-off event.

Farmers-only training, every 6 months

Free sessions on modern farming: pest management in protected cultivation, building a seed bank and preparing fertiliser on the farm.

Every 6 months

Free subsidy drive

We help farmers apply for government subsidy schemes through the right official channels, with free help on documents. 125+ farmers have benefited so far.

Free of cost

Low-cost structures for small plots

Low-height polytunnels, 6 m nethouses and wire-rope nethouses sized for small farms and small budgets.

Ongoing

Jobs in rural villages

Our farms, our factory in Degaon, Satara and our supply chain partners have created 1,100+ jobs in rural villages.

1,100+ jobs

Help to sell the harvest

Buyers Connect links farmers with traders and buyers, so a good crop also gets a fair price.

Ongoing

Training for agriculture students

One-day practical sessions for college and university students on our farm, with certificates that can be verified online.

A grower’s story

From 6 guntha to a steady monthly income

Vishwas Javhare farms just 6 guntha, about 6,000 sq ft. Growing local crops in the open, he could not earn even ₹50,000 a year from it.

Kryzen helped him turn that plot into a nethouse and trained him to run a plant nursery. Today the same land earns him about ₹10,000 every month, supplying nursery plants to farmers nearby.
