Bijak aims to bridge the information asymmetry and lack of accountability in agricultural commodities trading. Since launch, Bijak has expanded across 22 states, 400 regions, and 80+ commodities. We currently have a lean team of 60+ and are growing on a rocket trajectory.B2B traders, who control 80% of India's USD 300 Bn Agri value chain, have limited access to technology, information, and credit.
