About CropWorks

Backed by Science. Built for Scale.


Building India’s first purpose-led full-stack tech platform empowering micro food processors. From traceable sourcing and standardized quality to R&D, certifications, financing, and steady demand, we make India’s micro food supply chain transparent, scalable, and future-ready.


India’s food processing industry is among the world’s biggest,  yet its true engine is local and small. Over 70% of units run on micro-scale turnovers below ₹2 crore, hidden in villages and towns, mostly informal and underserved. Unlocking this massive underutilized backbone can deliver fresher, safer, and more trusted everyday foods,  transforming how millions eat and live
