Company Background

Incorporated in October 2021 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Farm Peace operates a 100% buy‑back model: it provides participating farmers with certified seed varieties, agronomic support and end‑to‑end technical assistance throughout the crop cycle, and guarantees procurement of the entire produce at pre‑agreed prices and quality parameters. The firm serves farmers across Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Mehsana and Banaskantha districts, leveraging the proprietary Farm Peace mobile application launched in September 2023 for transparency, traceability and efficiency.

Production has risen steadily: fiscal 2024 saw 32,500 metric tonnes harvested over 3,200 acres; fiscal 2025 increased to 55,000 metric tonnes on 5,100 acres; and fiscal 2026 reached 61,680 metric tonnes on over 5,660 acres.

The company is promoted by four individuals – Sandipkumar Narsinhbhai Patel, Sudhir Haribhai Patel, Girishbhai Faljibhai Patel and Kulin Kiran Patel – who collectively bring extensive hands‑on experience in potato cultivation and contract‑farming operations in Gujarat. The pre‑IPO round was backed by Mr Neeraj Gupta, founder of Meru Cabs, who commented that the fragmented potato contract‑farming industry is shifting toward a technology‑led, organized model and that the listing will help Farm Peace scale its farmer network.
