Two Phases. One Vision. Rural Bharat Rising
Patnakart isn’t just a startup—it’s a soil-born movement from Bihar, built on the dreams of farmers and fueled by the spirit of entrepreneurship. And like every meaningful movement, we needed the right ecosystem to grow. That’s where SABOUR AGRI INCUBATORS (SABAGRIs), BAU Sabour, Bhagalpur, became our backbone.
The Foundation: Structuring the Startup
Back in 2021, Patnakart was selected under RKVY-RAFTAAR’s AOP program at SABAGRIs. At that time, we were just taking our first steps—but we had a mission: build a transparent agri-supply chain in Bihar that worked for farmers, with farmers.

Outcome of The Foundation & The Expansion

Building Rural Foundations
SABOUR AGRI INCUBATORS provided more than just mentorship—they helped us shape the identity of Patnakart. With their strategic guidance, we registered our brand, established legal foundations, and launched key procurement systems with farmers and FPOs. This strong institutional backing empowered us to build a trusted rural supply chain. But the bigger vision was always clear: to celebrate Bihar’s potential by putting its farmers first. From offline stores to field surveys, every step brought us closer to an inclusive marketplace where local produce, culture, and people are recognized, rewarded, and respected at a national level.
From Local Fields to National Markets
From setting up packaging logistics to helping us secure crucial farmer agreements, SABOUR AGRI INCUBATORS have been the backbone of our journey. Their incubation enabled us to transform local produce into consumer-ready products, with certified quality and traceability. But more importantly, it aligned with our goal—to create a farmer-first economy in Bihar. By opening up digital access, brand platforms, and fair-trade channels, we are reimagining the village economy. Through GI, ODOP, and organic initiatives, we aim to make Bihar’s soil-born identity visible and valuable—creating an ecosystem where every rural voice counts.
From Incubation to Innovation
SABOUR AGRI INCUBATORS saw potential where others saw risk. Their continuous support—from early branding and MoUs to new-age fintech and digital traceability—has enabled us to evolve into a scalable rural commerce platform. With this foundation, we now focus on expanding Kisan Connect, empowering farmers with direct payments, smart supply chains, and market visibility. Our shared goal remains unwavering: to make Bihar a proud producer economy. By spotlighting GI-tagged crafts, traditional crops, and authentic rural goods, we are not only unlocking market access but also reviving forgotten legacies—putting farmers, artisans, and villages at the heart of India’s growth story.
