AgriVijay, an agrotech enterprise focused on renewable energy access in rural India, has closed the financial year 2024-25 on a positive note, reporting 105% year-on-year growth and returning to profitability. While the numbers offer a measure of success, the company says it sees this milestone as more than just financial—it’s about the growing impact of clean energy in the daily lives of rural communities.
Founded in 2020 amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, AgriVijay started as a modest bootstrapped venture. With initial support from the Atal Innovation Mission and NITI Aayog, the company has spent the last few years slowly carving a space for itself in the renewable energy market tailored to the needs of rural India.
AgriVijay has emerged as a specialized platform, offering curated renewable energy solutions specifically for farmers and rural households. Rather than operating solely as an e-commerce brand, it blends technology with physical outreach through a hybrid model—combining digital tools and human interaction in villages.
A Year of Ground-Level Initiatives and Practical Outcomes
One of the company’s highlights this year has been its Solar Sewing Machine initiative, developed in partnership with BAIF, a non-profit working on sustainable rural development. The project aims to equip tribal women in Maharashtra with solar-powered sewing machines—offering a low-cost, reliable tool for self-employment without dependence on erratic electricity supply.
This initiative reflects the broader ethos AgriVijay is striving for: enabling income generation and reducing energy dependency at the village level. For many of the women participating in the program, the solar machines mean consistent work hours, improved efficiency, and most importantly, control over their own livelihoods.
While the technology itself isn’t new, the model of delivering it—through direct support, local engagement, and hands-on training—has made the difference. AgriVijay doesn’t just distribute products; it follows through with after-sales services, financing options, and educational outreach to ensure long-term use and understanding.
Reaching Rural India—One Store at a Time
AgriVijay’s operations now span five Indian states—Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. At the heart of its operations are over 80 village-level outlets, branded as Renewable Energy Stores. These small but crucial centers act as local hubs where people can learn about solar pumps, biogas kits, energy-efficient cookstoves, and more.
Each store is backed by a network that includes trained sales representatives, a technical support team, and customer service centers offering help in local languages. This multi-layered approach is intentional. In areas where digital literacy or internet access may be limited, human support ensures that no one is left behind. For AgriVijay, building trust at the grassroots level is just as important as product quality.
A mobile application is currently in development to further strengthen its presence and offer digital access to those who have smartphones and internet connections. Still, the company’s model doesn’t rely on technology alone—it leans on relationships built in the field, community trust, and constant feedback from users.

The Bigger Picture: Rural Energy and Environmental Responsibility
AgriVijay’s mission goes beyond providing energy-efficient products. The company sees itself contributing to a larger effort to address climate change while supporting India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. By helping rural households shift from diesel or wood-based energy sources to solar or biogas alternatives, the company aims to reduce both energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
This shift is not always easy or immediate. Transitioning to renewable energy in rural areas comes with its share of hesitations and logistical hurdles. But through regular awareness campaigns and follow-up visits, AgriVijay tries to keep the transition smooth and accessible. Each successful installation, whether it’s a solar water pump or a clean cookstove, represents not just a sale, but a small move toward energy independence.
The company also offers free solar insurance, extended warranties, and easy financing plans. These features are designed to reduce the risk for first-time users and make clean energy adoption more attractive and feasible, especially in income-sensitive regions.
Deepening Roots, Not Just Expanding Reach
While growth and profitability are welcome outcomes, AgriVijay is not racing to scale in a traditional corporate sense. Instead, the focus for the upcoming year appears to be on deepening its impact in the regions it already serves. That means more community-based initiatives, better product adaptation to local conditions, and training programs to turn users into advocates and entrepreneurs.
There are also signs that the company will place greater emphasis on training rural youth and women to become Renewable Energy Advisors—individuals who can offer guidance and support within their own villages. This grassroots network has already begun to take shape in Maharashtra and Rajasthan and may become a larger part of AgriVijay’s strategy in the near future.
The company’s story so far is less about sudden change and more about persistence—building slowly, listening carefully, and responding practically to the challenges that rural communities face when it comes to adopting clean energy. As AgriVijay enters the new financial year, the team says it remains committed to what it set out to do in 2020: make renewable energy more accessible, more affordable, and more meaningful for India’s rural heartland.
