Scale Beyond Size

For Vrutti, the concept of scale extends beyond mere size; it is about reaching and impacting communities at various levels – from individual producers to entire ecosystems and even national levels. Their focus is on both the depth and breadth of contributions to bring about meaningful change. Vrutti believes in the sustainability of benefits and, as such, designs solutions with scalability in mind. They aim to move beyond localized and limited interventions, opting instead to model, cost, and integrate their approaches for adoption by communities, markets, or public policy. b2b ecommerce

Solution-Oriented Approach to Scale the Impact

• As an early adopter, Vrutti used the Platform Commons‘ capability to solve large-scale societal problems for small & marginal farmers through digital infrastructure.
• The B2B ecommerce platform helped in empowering FPOs to strategically plan their resource supply and demand, deliver cost-effective capacity development modules, and market their produce with enhanced efficiency.
• One of the key triumph lies in overcoming challenges faced by front-line workers and community resource persons. In the past, they grappled with time-consuming paperwork and struggled to gain trust among farmers. However, with the right platform, these dedicated individuals now devote more time to supporting farmers, easily access crucial business information, remotely manage financial records, and efficiently handle transactions, building a stronger bond of trust.
• For FPOs, the transition from maintaining paper-based financial records to embracing digital planning has been a game-changer. They have overcome credit access difficulties, gained knowledge in business operations and analytics, and enhanced their overall efficiency. The result? Increased trust from farmers and improved transparency in operations.
• The impact of Vrutti’s Commons.farm Platform extends beyond individual FPOs. By connecting more than 30,000 farmers across 23 FPOs in 6 states, the platform serves as a digital backbone, fostering collaboration and innovation.
