LCB Fertilizers is a leading agritech startup in India, dedicated to helping farmers grow better crops while protecting the environment. Founded by Akshay Shrivastav, a chemical engineer from Uttar Pradesh, we started in 2020 with a mission to make farming sustainable and profitable.
Our flagship product, Navyakosh, is an organic biofertilizer that boosts crop yields by up to 33% and reduces farming costs by about 50%. We use advanced technologies like biotechnology, nanotechnology, and chemical engineering to create fertilizers that are good for the soil and crops.
