She started to think of ways to solve his problems such as attaining a fair price for his vegetables with the aid of technology. But for Anu, it wasn’t just about her grandfather or a single farmer: “It’s about India’s 13 percent GDP which comes from agriculture — a sector which is highly unorganised. The incorporation of technology for organising it will take time,” says Anu.
