Engineers turned farmers, building India’s modern farming ecosystem

Kryzen Biotech Private Limited is a Pune-based agritech company that plans, manufactures and builds polyhouses, nethouses and hydroponic farms. We also support growers after handover with automation, agronomy, market linkage and training.

Kryzen Biotech Private Limited was incorporated on 21 August 2019. The idea started in 2017, and our first product, Price Watcher, was built in 2018. See our milestones.

Kryzen was founded by Sudhir Devkar, Managing Director, and Priya Devkar, Finance Director. Both are engineers who left corporate careers to work in farming.

Our corporate office is in Wakad, Pune. Our manufacturing unit and master warehouse are in Degaon, Wai (Satara), our Experience Centre is in Pune, and we have warehouses in Pune-PCMC, Nashik and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

Yes. Kryzen Biotech Private Limited is a private limited company registered in Maharashtra (CIN U01100PN2019PTC186207, GSTIN 27AAHCK7659R1ZF). We hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018 certifications. Details are on our corporate information page.

We build farms across India and take projects in the Gulf region. Tell us your location and we will confirm the team, delivery and subsidy options for your area.

Kryzen has built more than 250 farms, covering over 100 acres across India.

Yes. Sudhir and Priya Devkar pitched Kryzen on Shark Tank India Season 3, episode 30, which aired on 1 March 2024. Watch the pitch.

Peyush Bansal, co-founder of Lenskart, made the deal: ₹75 lakh for 15% equity plus a 2% royalty on sales until he recovers twice his investment.

To empower 1,00,000 urban farmers to grow with hydroponics and soil-less farming using advanced technology, AI and machine learning, and to make farming a sustainable business by 2030.

Hydroponics is growing plants without soil. Roots grow in water or an inert medium such as cocopeat, and receive a measured nutrient solution. Learn more about hydroponics.

It can be, when the crop, market and farm size are planned well and the farm is managed closely. Profit depends on the crop, local prices, power and labour costs, and how you sell. We prepare a project report with expected yields and costs for your site before you invest.

Leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach, herbs such as basil and mint, and fruiting crops such as tomato, capsicum, cucumber and strawberry grow well. See the crops you can grow in hydroponics.

Because water is recirculated and delivered straight to the roots, hydroponic farms can use up to about 90% less water than open-field farming for the same crop.

Yes. The crop is grown in a clean, controlled environment with a measured nutrient solution, and protected structures reduce the need for pesticides. Produce must still be handled and stored hygienically like any fresh food.

Yes. Small vertical and flat-bed systems work on balconies, terraces and indoors. See our hydroponic systems for home.

NFT (nutrient film technique) runs a thin film of nutrient solution through channels, where plant roots take up water and nutrients. Kryzen builds NFT A-frame and NFT flatbed systems.

A polyhouse is the protective structure; hydroponics is a way of growing without soil. Many commercial farms combine both: a polyhouse or nethouse protects the crop, and a hydroponic or grow-bag system feeds it.

A polyhouse is a steel-framed structure covered with UV-stabilised plastic film that protects crops from rain, pests and extreme weather, so you can grow high-value crops for more of the year.

An NVPH cools itself through roof and side vents instead of fans. It suits most of India’s climate and is the most common polyhouse for vegetables and flowers. Read about NVPH.

A polyhouse is covered with plastic film, so it keeps out rain and holds a more stable climate. A nethouse uses shade or insect net, costs less and suits crops that need shade and pest protection more than climate control. Read about nethouses.

A fan and pad polyhouse uses exhaust fans and wet cooling pads to bring the inside temperature down, for crops that need a cooler, controlled climate. Read about fan and pad.

The galvanised steel structure lasts many years; Kryzen gives a 15-year warranty on the GI structure. The plastic film wears with sunlight and is usually replaced every few years.

Most Kryzen projects are installed in 45 to 90 days from the time materials reach the site, depending on size and site conditions.

Kryzen naturally ventilated polyhouses are designed for wind speeds of 120 km/h and a load of 25 kg per square metre, with deep concrete foundations.

For a Kryzen naturally ventilated polyhouse, the structure alone typically costs ₹780 to ₹1,125 per square metre before GST, depending on size and site. Growing systems, irrigation, civil work and transport are extra. Ask us for a quote for your land.

It depends on the structure, growing system and automation. A small commercial farm of about 5,000 sq ft starts at around ₹15 lakh. A polyhouse with a grow-bag system costs about ₹2,975 per square metre including GST. We share a detailed estimate after a site inspection.

Our usual schedule is a 10% advance on the work order, with the balance due before materials are dispatched. The exact schedule is in your quotation.

Yes, many growers use bank finance, including loans under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund. We prepare a detailed project report that banks ask for.

Payback depends on your crop, market prices, how you sell and how well the farm is run, so we do not quote one number. Your project report shows expected yields, costs and a repayment schedule for your farm.

A site summary, recommended crops, the structure and system design, a full cost estimate, expected yields and income, and a finance plan for the bank or subsidy application.

Yes. The National Horticulture Board (NHB) and state schemes under MIDH, such as the National Horticulture Mission, support protected cultivation. See Kryzen and Government.

Under the central schemes, assistance is usually around 50% of the approved cost norm, with higher rates in some hilly and north-eastern states and limits on area. The final amount is decided by the government department as per the guidelines in force.

Yes. Kryzen is an NHB subsidy provider for all states and an NHM state subsidy provider in Maharashtra and Karnataka.

NHB supports high-value crops including rose, anthurium, orchids, lilium, chrysanthemum, carnation and gerbera, and vegetables such as capsicum, cucumber and tomato. Always check the latest NHB guidelines.

Yes. We prepare the project report and technical documents, build to the required standards and support you through inspection and the claim. Approval is decided by the department.

Subsidy is linked to the protected structure and the scheme rules in your state. Our team checks which parts of your project are eligible before you apply.

hydroBUILD is Kryzen’s automation system for hydroponic farms. It monitors pH, TDS and the climate, helps plan fertigation and lets you manage the farm remotely.

Price Watcher is Kryzen’s crop price tool. It uses past market data to suggest which crops are likely to fetch better prices in the coming months, so you can plan what to plant.

Kryzen does not promise to buy your crop. Through Buyers Connect we link growers with buyers in several cities so you can sell directly.

Yes. Clients use our portal at alpha.kryzen.com to follow the project timeline, deliveries and inspections, and to reach their agronomist.

Our projects typically include six months of virtual agronomy support, a four-day training for your farm staff, Hydroponic Masterclass access, farm software and Buyers Connect. Your quotation lists what is included.

Yes. Learn online through Hydroponic Masterclass, or join hands-on practical training on working farms.

Hydroponic Masterclass is Kryzen’s online learning arm. It covers nutrient balancing, climate control and crop planning, and more than 55,000 learners have joined our farming community. See the Masterclass.

Yes. We run training programmes and curriculum work with ANGRAU, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth and Shivaji University, and host student field visits.

Yes. Book a visit to our Experience Centre in Baner, Pune, to see working hydroponic systems, get government scheme guidance and discuss a feasibility check for your land. It is our second experience centre, after the first opened in Satara in 2023.
