Pilot Launching in Sangli & Western Maharashtra

Every farm,
discoverable.

LinkUp gives every farm a digital identity. Families and bulk buyers can see what a farm has today, what it has stored and what it will harvest next, then reserve it and collect it straight from the farm.

तुमच्या शेताला ओळख. तुमच्या शेतमालाला बाजार.

The problem

Good produce isn't the problem. Being seen is.

Most farmers sell to whoever is within 40–50 km. Buyers who would pay more, and families who want food they can trust, never find out the farm exists.

The farmer can't see the market

Prices are set by the few traders nearby. Better buyers in Pune, Kolhapur or Mumbai are out of reach because nobody connects them.

Buyers can't see the farm

A family looking for pure milk or a trader looking for 2 tonnes of jowar has no way to know who has it, how much, and when.

Trust has no address

Food is bought by product, never by producer. A farmer's honesty and quality build no reputation that follows him to the next season.

The product

Search like modern commerce.
Trust like a farm you know.

One simple app where anyone can buy and anyone with a farm can sell.

01 · Discover

Find what's genuinely available, right now.

Search a product the way you'd search for food, and compare farms by price, distance, rating and what they actually have left today.

  • Live quantities, so nobody makes a wasted trip
  • Daily time windows for milk, eggs and vegetables
  • Stored grain and upcoming harvests, not just today's stock
02 · Trust

The farm is the brand.

Every farm gets one permanent profile with its story, its products and its Farm Life: photos, videos and harvest updates straight from the field.

  • Follow farms and see their stories first
  • Reputation built on completed orders and repeat families
  • Ratings come only from people who actually bought
03 · Reserve & collect

Reserve before you travel. Collect from the farm.

Request a quantity, the farmer confirms and holds it, and you agree on the details in chat. No warehouses, no delivery fleet, no middle layer.

  • Requested → Reserved → Collected → Done
  • Direct chat to agree on time and handover point
  • Pay the farmer directly when you collect
04 · For farmers

List once. Sell repeatedly.

Add a product in under a minute. Set availability once, whether it's milk every evening, grain in the store or mango next month, and let buyers come to you.

  • Market reference and suggested range, but you set the price
  • Sell to families and bulk buyers from the same listing
  • Build your own customer base that returns every season
Two ways to buy

One farm. One inventory. Every size of buyer.

A family buying 5 kg and a trader buying 5 tonnes see the same farm. Nobody picks a role. You just choose how much you need.

🛒 Everyday

For families and households

Weekly needs and seasonal stock-ups from farms you know.

  • Milk, eggs and vegetables with daily pickup windows
  • Mango, jowar, jaggery and more in family quantities
  • Distance filters from 10 to 100 km
  • Follow farms and reorder from the ones you trust
📦 Bulk

For traders and businesses

Traders, restaurants, retailers, processors, societies and anyone buying quantity.

  • Available stock, stored grain and upcoming harvests
  • Minimum order and quantity-based price slabs
  • Search across a wider radius, up to 500 km
1–20 kg₹110
21–100 kg₹100

Our story

Built from our own orchard.

Farmers don't need the middleman removed. They need the whole market made visible.
Founder, LinkUp · Jath, Sangli

During Covid, with markets shut, our family sold its mangoes door to door. The next season, those same families called asking for more. Some still come to the farm every year and take 25 to 50 kg each to share with relatives. They weren't buying mango. They were buying our farm.

Later, when local traders offered a low rate, we found a buyer in Pune and brought him 300 km to the village. He paid ₹28 more per kilo. The difference wasn't quality. It was information.

LinkUp turns both of those lessons into a product: a permanent identity for every farm, and a market that reaches far beyond the nearest trader.

₹28/kgmore from a buyer 300 km away

Who it's for

One account. Buy, sell, or both.

There's no separate farmer app and customer app. A farmer who sells mango can buy jowar from the next village on the same account.

What we stand for

Our principles

01

Farmer first

Every decision starts with whether it helps the farmer earn more and spend less time selling.

02

We never own the produce

LinkUp doesn't buy, store or resell. The farm sells, the buyer buys, and we connect them.

03

Trust before transaction

Reputation comes from real history: completed orders, repeat families and verified ratings.

04

Intelligence, not control

We show market references and suggested ranges. The farmer always sets the final price.

05

Alongside, not against

Traders, APMCs and FPOs remain part of the market. LinkUp gives the farmer more options.

06

Free while we grow

Creating a farm, listing products and reserving carry no fees during our initial phase.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Get in touch.

Does LinkUp deliver?

Not right now. Buyers collect directly from the farm, or from a handover point they agree on with the farmer through chat.

How do payments work?

You pay the farmer directly when you collect, in whatever way you both agree. LinkUp doesn't handle payments during the pilot.

Does LinkUp take a commission?

No. Creating a farm, listing products and reserving are free during our initial phase. If paid features are introduced later, they'll be announced well in advance.

How do I sign in?

With your mobile number. We send a one-time password to your WhatsApp, so there's no password to remember.

Who sets the price?

The farmer. LinkUp shows a market reference and a suggested range to help, but never fixes or blocks a price.

Where is LinkUp available?

We're starting with a pilot in Sangli district and Western Maharashtra, and will expand area by area as farms and buyers join.

Bring your farm to LinkUp.

We're onboarding the first farms and buyers in Sangli and Western Maharashtra. Message us on WhatsApp or email, and we'll help you get set up.
