The collaboration forms part of Project AVIO Agritech, ASMS’s initiative to develop an integrated agri-services ecosystem by leveraging the company’s extensive rural outreach and financial inclusion infrastructure.

Avio Smart Market Stack Limited (ASMS), formerly known as Bartronics India Limited, has entered into a (MoU) with Agrosperity Tech Solutions Private Limited, the company behind the KiVi (Kisan Vikas) platform, to explore collaborative initiatives aimed at strengthening India’s agricultural ecosystem through digital technology, financing, and supply-chain integration.

The collaboration forms part of Project AVIO Agritech, ASMS’s initiative to develop an integrated agri-services ecosystem by leveraging the company’s extensive rural outreach and financial inclusion infrastructure.

Over the past several years, ASMS has built one of India’s large financial inclusion networks through its banking correspondent infrastructure, connecting with more than 5,000 villages across the country. Building on this foundation, Project AVIO Agritech aims to develop complementary services across agriculture, sustainability, rural commerce, and climate-linked initiatives by working with specialised ecosystem partners.

Agrosperity Tech Solutions, headquartered at the IIT Madras Research Park in Chennai, operates the KiVi (Kisan Vikas) platform, a “phygital” model that combines digital infrastructure with on-ground franchise networks to deliver services such as agricultural credit access, input procurement, agronomy advisory, and market linkages for farmers and agri-entrepreneurs.

Through this MoU, the two companies will explore collaboration across multiple areas of the agricultural value chain. The partnership will focus on leveraging ASMS’s rural network to generate farmer leads for agricultural credit solutions, while also supporting agri-commodity supply chain financing for buyers and suppliers. In addition, the collaboration will seek to expand distribution channels for agricultural inputs and explore opportunities in commodity warehousing and post-harvest infrastructure. The companies will also evaluate initiatives related to climate and sustainability, including the development of carbon sequestration solutions for the agriculture sector.

The partnership aims to combine ASMS’s rural outreach and ecosystem access with Agrosperity’s digital and commerce capabilities to develop scalable solutions for farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, and rural enterprises.

The MoU with Agrosperity forms part of the broader ecosystem being built under Project AVIO Agritech, through which ASMS has been working with multiple domain partners across environmental solutions, and sustainable agriculture to develop new programs for the rural economy.

Dr. Raja Krishna Murthy Morla, Head – Agri Tech Business, ASMS, said: “Project AVIO Agritech is focused on building practical collaborations that bring together technology platforms, financial solutions, and operational capabilities to support the agricultural ecosystem. The partnership with Agrosperity and the KiVi platform adds an important dimension around credit access, supply chain solutions, and farmer services.”

N. Vidhya Sagar Reddy, Managing Director, ASMS, said: “Our financial inclusion network has given us a strong presence in rural India. Through Project AVIO Agritech, we are now working with specialised ecosystem partners to build complementary services that can create new economic opportunities for farmers and rural enterprises.”

Avio Smart Market Stack Limited has strategically expanded into the high-growth health-tech sector, supporting the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic technologies aimed at improving access to affordable healthcare across India.
