The startup eSahayak is a one-stop solution for getting all the government issued paperwork, from driving license, birth certificate, rent agreements to passport applications, NDAs, offer letter, etc. everything is accessible one tap away and is provided under one niche.</p><h2>About eSahayak.io: Idea and Technology Used</h2><p>In the post COVID world, when everything is going digital, the government and legal documentation work is still scattered and has not been digitized properly. The founders of eSahayak, Gourav Manchanda and Charanjit Singh, after trying their hands in the IT service sector during their college days and working for companies, providing them tech-based software, were struck with a product development idea in 2019. Later, they brainstormed on one of the tools, that is, documentation and focused on turning it into a viable venture. They established their platform in January 2021 and launched the final eSahayak portal in March 2021. The eSahayak platform is powered with an in-built technology Crove.app, a documentation engine providing customers with templates that can be used for hassle-free paperwork.</p></div>

It also takes a lot of paperwork and generally the government portals and websites don&#8217;t work on smartphones. eSahayak brings all the paperwork under one niche and provides a platform for all kinds of legal paperwork. It also is working towards bringing each and every state in India online and thus providing an easy way out for the people to create their own forms and use it as per their requirements.</p><p>The platform has collaborated with CA, CS Firms and Lawyers for online documentation processes and is planning to connect with some offline agents as well who can break down the documentation process to the general public in offline mode too.</p><h2>Future of These Startups</h2><p>There are many other websites that are working under the same model but what makes eSahayak different is that it has its own documentation handling in-house technology which provide the users with the real-time status regarding repetitive documents. The startup is also simplifying the paperwork and easing out the way of accessing documents from one’s phone, with a simple form fill-up.</p><p>The need of documentation starts from the day of birth. This is one market that will never lose its importance as recorded data in the form of documents is something that is highly important in personal as well as business world. The <a href="https://dutchuncles.in/aspire/types-of-innovation-a-guide-for-startup-entrepreneurs/">startup</a> eSahayak make sure that everything, starting from birth certificate to death certificate, all in between documentation process is hassle-free. It aims to become a one-stop platform in India for all kinds of legal documentation.</p></div>

But in these uncertain times, companies of all sizes and industries are coming together to help people get back on track. Many start-ups are creating job opportunities in India&#8217;s tier-2 and beyond cities by using the large scale agricultural industry and technology as a support system.</p><p>Start-ups have been on an upward trajectory with seven years of government support behind them. Now, they are coming in full swing to help in various aspects, from solving the oxygen crisis and hospital&#8217;s availability to bringing the country back to economic normalcy, at-work vaccination programs and increasing employment opportunities in the nation again.</p><h2>These 5 start-ups are providing jobs in rural India and supporting the Digital India Campaign</h2><h3 style="padding-left: 40px;">EezyNaukari</h3><p style="padding-left: 40px;">The start-up EezyNaukari was launched in 2016 in Kanpur for employing job seekers in rural India. EezyNaukari operates in more than 500 villages in four Indian states. As a technical support platform, it aims to completely change the recruitment process for unorganised jobs and the entry-level jobs sector.</p><h3 style="padding-left: 40px;">Rural Odyssey</h3><p style="padding-left: 40px;">As a social enterprise, start-up Rural Odyssey aims to bridge the gap between urban and rural areas and connect travelers with real-world experiences in unconventional rural Indian places. The start-up chooses ecstatic villages across India to promote their culture, music, art, unique art forms and more amongst travelers. It helps the villagers generate income and provides an authentic cultural experience to the curious travelers who want to explore the diverse rural communities of India.</p><h3 style="padding-left: 40px;">Udaan</h3><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Udaan is a web-focused B2B trading platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses in India. It integrates Indian distributors, wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and brands in one platform. Udaan is a platform that allows customers to expand their network with future businesses and support small businesses by securing the power of technology and the advantages of the Internet.</p><h3 style="padding-left: 40px;">Frontier Markets</h3><p style="padding-left: 40px;">It is one of the leading social enterprise platforms for rural women. It helps rural businesswomen deliver end-to-end products and services to the consumer&#8217;s doorstep in remote areas. This is done through an assisted commerce model run by rural women entrepreneurs called Saral Jeevan Sahelis, which is boosting rural women&#8217;s commerce.</p><h3 style="padding-left: 40px;">Hesa</h3><p style="padding-left: 40px;">This is a rural tech start-up connecting, redefining rural commerce by providing Last-Mile Physical and Digital Connect to rural India.

Farm buyers can buy or sell various products, access banks and other financial services, and pay their bills in convenient villages.</p><h2>Why is it Important for Start-ups to Support the Digital India Campaign?</h2><p>In recent years, one of the pillars of the growth of India&#8217;s digital economy has been the high demand for smartphones and mobile devices. India has become the fastest-growing smartphone market globally, surpassing the United States as the second-largest market globally in January 2020.</p><p>India has matured as the next big destination for international electronics manufacturers after China&#8217;s fall from grace for various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has stressed that the Indian industry should become an export hub in this regard. To grow themselves and promote their business via Digital India, start-ups need to capitalise on this change.</p></div>

					<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>Agritech startups have been continuing in their effort to innovate with the goal of improving farmers’ lives. However, the complexity of the agriculture sector makes it difficult for them to remedy these challenges independently. The answer lies in collaborations. The government bodies/financial institutions have initiated several measures for improving agriculture services and are constantly moving ahead in collaborations with the private sector, especially start-ups, to bring in <a href="https://dutchuncles.in/featured/what-are-the-new-products-and-services-in-agritech/">tech-driven innovative solutions</a>. We evaluate the latest public-private partnerships in Agritech:</p><h2><strong>Digital Platforms: Partnering to Connect Stakeholders</strong></h2><p>Digital platforms have been the most common proposition between public and private partnerships in agriculture. Agritech startups have been providing online marketplaces for farmers, connecting them with large institutional buyers, including the government for transparency and fair prices.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p>For instance, recently, Pune-based Agritech startup Agri10x announced collaboration with Indian government to help remote farmers sell their produce directly in the market using blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. The government has been looking for partners to launch blockchain-powered marketplace for integrating farmers with markets.</p></div>

					<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><h2><strong>Financial Institution Tie Ups: Opportunity in Backend Tech &amp; Lending Management</strong></h2><p>With an aim to reach the last mile and diverse the borrower base, banks are partnering with public enterprises, especially Agritech start-ups, in multiple ways. First is partnership where the private players can provide the bank with collateral management and warehousing services to help farmers with effective market linkage. This way the banks are able to extend finance to farmers, Farmer Producer Organisations, processors, and various depositors whose agri-produce is stored in warehouses managed by the private company. This is similar to the tie up between Canara Bank and post-harvest Agritech start-up Arya. Bank of Baroda also signed an MoU with Allfresh Supply Management Pvt Ltd for extending finance to the farmers against pledge of warehouse receipts issued by the company.</p><p>Second is a partnership model where banks leverage the technology offered by the private company to make lending decisions. Banks find it difficult and uneconomical to gather and verify farm-level and farmer-level data and have limited visibility on financial information like cash flows and credit history. This is where the private sector comes in to fill in the gap and hence partnerships.</p><h2><strong>Technology Alliance: AI &amp; Data-led Forecast, Monitoring</strong></h2><p>State governments are forming technology partnerships to forecast prices of agricultural produce using AI to help farmers in efficiently planning their harvest cycle. Agritech start-ups are bringing in technology for data collection on soil health, weather forecast, cropping pattern etc. For instance, the government partnered with Bengaluru-based Agritech startup <a href="https://dutchuncles.in/discover/how-cropin-is-addressing-challenges-of-indias-agriculture-industry/">CropIn Technologies</a> to streamline the CCE (Crop Cutting Experiment) process and make it more accurate and scalable using AI and ML. CCE is aimed at accurately estimating the yield of a crop in a region during a given cultivation cycle. CropIn will help the government in providing technical support to conduct reliable, accurate, and large scale CCE within a short harvesting window and limited manpower.</p><p>Similarly, the Karnataka government partnered with IBM for tomato price forecasting using AI, ML technologies. Partnerships are also being forged between state government enterprises and technology players for quality, safety, traceability and monitoring services using AI and quick response (QR)-code tagging during packaging and warehousing process.</p><p>NITI Aayog and other government academic institutions have also opened their doors to reattach alliances with several leading AI technology players to implement AI projects in agriculture.</p><h2><strong>What is in it for me?</strong></h2><p>As an agriculture solution developer, you need to build a product/offering that fits into the existing government framework, workflows and technology platform as there is a lot happening from the public sector’s end as well in technology. Government flagship programs like Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Soil Health Card, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, require specific technology which can be catered by private sector. The golden rule is to first understand what is the <a href="https://dutchuncles.in/aspire/how-is-agritech-addressing-the-pain-points-of-the-traditional-value-chain/">gap in agriculture sector</a> and then jump into the market with the product.</p></div>
