What will VayuMandee be measured against as a bottomline?

* Farming communities leverage aggregation pricing saving over 30% on pricing to access our supply chain products and services such as seed, custom organic manure & fertilizers, pesticides, etc. creating economies of scale & scope

* Enable farming communities leverage the footprint to deliver excess inventory of skills, mechanization or other services driving greater ROI from existing CAPEX

* Access to FMV (Fair Market Value) information and completion of the cropcycle to online transactions and commerce

* Catalyze village level communities & commerce through a grid linked across the networks of other VayuMandees

* Creating village level entrepreneurs who can enable access & delivery of agricultural products and services critical to the bottomline such as energy as a service (off-grid to grid), access to micro banking/finance/insurance/healthcare, etc. which will create a better standard of living and drive value in communities
