Kskt

Kskt (Kisaan se Kitchen Tak) operates as an agri-commerce company with a technology-driven, farm-to-fork supply chain model. Founded in 2020 by Santosh Srivastava, Ishaan Gajanan Hukku, and Bindu Kumari Verma, the Gurugram-based firm was established to address inefficiencies in the agricultural value chain. The founding vision emerged from Santosh Srivastava's observation, during his tenure at Tata Group, that farmers often used chemical-free methods for personal consumption but relied on chemical-laden farming for commercial sales due to market pressures. This insight led to the creation of a platform designed to provide farmers with fairer prices for naturally grown produce while offering consumers access to fresh, chemical-free food.

The company's business model is centered on eliminating intermediaries by directly connecting farmers with both B2B and B2C customers. This vertically integrated approach allows Kskt to deliver fresh produce, with some items plucked only after an order is placed, significantly reducing waste to a claimed 3%. Revenue is generated through the sale of these multi-category grocery and agro-produce items via its online platform and omnichannel retail presence. The company serves a customer base of over 32,000 and works with a network of more than 5,000 farmers. For fiscal year 2025, Kskt reported revenue of ₹14.5 crore, a fourfold increase year-over-year.

Kskt's core service is its online platform that facilitates the direct sale of naturally grown and processed agricultural products. The company leverages technology to manage its logistics, employing AI-driven demand forecasting tools and real-time tracking systems to optimize the supply chain, reduce waste, and ensure freshness. Specific initiatives include the "Misfits Program," which sells oddly sized produce at a discount to minimize waste, and "FRECO Markets," which are micro-local networks for affordable organic food. The company has secured $2.23 million in total funding over six rounds, with a recent $1.3 million infusion in May 2025 led by Keiretsu Forum and Favcy's 1stCheque Angel Network to fuel expansion into over 20 cities and enhance its technology infrastructure.
