Majority of India still depends on agriculture however the sector is still starved of technology due to it being inaccessible or too expensive," said Saurabh Agarwal, Founder & CEO, GROWiT.
"At GROWiT, our commitment is towards developing sustainable agriculture with optimization of productivity by making available affordable tools like India’s First Pocket-Friendly Soil Health Testing Device, which provides soil composition insights and crop recommendations tailored to soil types. GROWiT aims to transform agriculture by increasing yields, cutting input costs, and driving sustainable farming, positioning us as a comprehensive, one-stop solution for farmers.”
GROWiT launched India’s First Pocket-Friendly Soil Testing Device in April 2025, which received an encouraging response from farmers and agri-partners. Other marquee products include Mulch Films, Crop Covers, Weed Mats, and more, are designed to optimize crop protection and boost agricultural productivity while promoting sustainable practices.

GrowiT has a large innovation product portfolio and pan India distribution channel. They are helping farmers grow more and earn better by focusing on solving these key problems at an affordable cost and easy accessibility.
"They are making climate-friendly, sustainable farming methods more affordable and effective. As a fund, this is a key focus area for us and we see GROWiT as a strong player emerging in this segment.” - TWL Bureau
