One of the major reasons why Farmers suicide is the loan they take for their Tractors. In India almost 10 lakh tractors are sold every year, highest in the world. And, do you know, there is no concept of MRP in a tractor, its upto dealership to sell a tractor basis market location and demographics, which is a big problem. We explored everything around this in today's episode on Mad Over Growth Podcast, with Animesh Agarwal, founder of Tractor Junction.

💵 Why we Invested in Cornext 🌱 Did you know India is home to a whopping 30% of the world's cattle? You'd think we'd be swimming in milk, right? Well, not quite. Despite our massive bovine population, we're facing a puzzling paradox: low milk productivity. The culprit hides in plain sight – a severe shortage of quality fodder. It's not just about the cattle; this shortage is taking a big bite out of rural livelihoods too. Cornext is moving things in the right direction by tackling this age-old problem with a fresh, innovative approach. Imagine a world where our dairy farmers have access to top-notch feed, our cows are healthier and more productive, and rural communities thrive. That's the future Cornext is building, one bale of silage at a time.
