Who We Are.
About Us
RGP Agronomics Private Limited is a dynamic, farmer-centric agriculture startup established in 2023 in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, dedicated to organizing and modernizing India’s vast but fragmented agriculture inputs sector. We function as a multi-brand distributor and retailer, operating at both B2C (selling directly to individual farmers) and B2B (supplying to retailers, cooperatives, FPOs, institutions, and large-scale farms). Importantly, we do not manufacture any products — we partner exclusively with India’s most reputable and leading manufacturers to bring only certified, high-quality insecticides, pesticides, seeds, fertilizers, and organic solutions to market.
Our complete ecosystem addresses critical pain points: widespread availability of fake/substandard inputs, limited scientific knowledge among farmers, inefficient and scattered supply chains, low soil testing adoption (historically only a small percentage of farmers tested soil regularly before initiatives like Soil Health Cards), and lack of reliable, unbiased advisory. By combining physical retail (Dharti Stores), digital access (Dharti App), lab-based soil analysis, and expert guidance, we deliver measurable improvements in yield, cost efficiency, and farmer income.

His early commitment to grassroots development and public service has earned him the Air India Rank and Bold Award and the prestigious Youth Award conferred by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
His journey in the agriculture sector began in 2009 at the young age of 18, when he stepped into the family business. Since then, he has actively engaged with all leading agri-input companies across India. As the driving force behind RGP Agronomics Private Limited, an evolved and streamlined extension of his family’s agricultural legacy, Udit has consistently demonstrated strategic foresight, deep market insight, and operational excellence.
With extensive travel and fieldwork across India, Udit has undertaken comprehensive studies on the agri-input industry and is deeply aware of the challenges and opportunities within India’s agricultural markets. His long-standing association with key industry players and his deep understanding of unorganized agricultural trade uniquely position him to build innovative, sustainable platforms that benefit both farmers and stakeholders across the value chain.
Udit was also part of the Working Committee of India’s first Model G20, reflecting his broader engagement with national policy and global dialogue. Known for his ability to multitask, handle pressure, and execute with clarity and purpose, he continues to be a strong advocate for sustainable agri-input and output systems in India.

To enhance his leadership capabilities, Bharat trained at Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, a premier institute known for shaping professionals in governance, public policy, and organizational strategy. This experience helped refine his ability to manage large-scale initiatives and work effectively across institutional frameworks.
