Criyagen is a life science company with a mission to deliver low-cost, eco-friendly inputs for sustainable agriculture and develops carbon-neutral energy means for a better tomorrow.

The challenge was Criyagen wanted to develop an app to bridge the information gap between the farmers and the scientific developments in the agriculture sector. Through the app, Criyagen also wanted to provide the farmers with a platform where they can discuss crop-related problems with scientists and experts. Additionally, they wanted to keep the farmers informed about the most optimal farming practices and to provide them a guided crop calendar.

Further, the biggest challenge for us was to make the app work seamlessly in remote villages of the country where high-speed internet is not guaranteed all the time. We had to keep in mind that the image exchange between the farmers and scientists through the chat feature in the app did not take up too much data bandwidth. Providing support in 13 Indian languages and yet keeping the app light was another technical challenge for us.

We were thrilled to take this project up because we believed that something as useful as the Agri app was much needed for the farmers of our country. We invested some time to thoroughly understand the requirements of our client. We also brainstormed to identify more features that could be beneficial for the app and subsequently, the farmers.

Our approach was to design a simple, easy-to-use UI (User Interface) keeping a basic literate farmer in mind. This was done in an Android environment. In the backend, we implemented a Laravel PHP based Admin control.
