India’s 80 million dairy farmers form a large segment of the #NextHalfBillion that is underserved by financial institutions due to lack of reliable data to estimate their incomes.  DGV's integrated fintech and marketplace model which is embedded within the dairy supply chain promises to unlock access to convenient, affordable financial products and improve livelihoods for India’s dairy farmers. We are thrilled to back Ragavan Venkatesan and the DGV team, who are deeply committed to improving financial well-being and sustainability for India’s dairy farmers and micro-enterprises.
