Agritech startup Cornext that offers low-cost, innovative quality feeding solutions for Indian dairy farmers, is one among the seven startups selected from India for the ‘Indo Israel Cohort Program’ jointly launched by Startup Nation Central, Israel, TiE Hyderabad and TiE Israel. The first cohort of the programme will focus on innovations in the agritech sector, and the shortlisted startups will undergo speaker sessions and workshops on sensitization to Indian/ Israeli culture, business culture, perspectives on local market, consumer behaviour and exposure to high-growth sectors in both countries.
The first cohort of the mentoring programme includes startups with the potential for social and economic impact. The eight-month programme will help startups get access to insights on new technologies, new markets and help in creating new opportunities.
Cornext is soon launching a first of its kind mobile app FeedNext which offers low-cost quality feeding solutions such as baled silage, TMR (total mixed ration), fortified hay, mineral mixtures, feed supplements, etc to dairy farmers. The new e-marketplace ‘FeedNext’ will be a one-stop shop for all feeding requirements of dairies.
