At FarmLokal, our mission has been to connect families with fresh, authentic, and trustworthy farm produce straight from local sellers. Whether it’s fresh milk, paneer, ghee, vegetables, or everyday groceries, we’ve worked to make quality local products available through hassle-free online delivery in Noida and Greater Noida.

Now, we’re proud to announce another milestone in our journey: FarmLokal has been selected for “SAMRIDDHI”, the Agripreneurship Incubation Programme launched by ICAR–Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) under the RKVY-RAFTAAR Agri Business Incubation (R-ABI) Scheme.

What Is SAMRIDDHI?

The SAMRIDDHI program is designed to support startups with innovative products, services, or business models in the animal science and allied sector that are ready for commercialization. By bringing together entrepreneurs, industry experts, subject matter specialists, academicians, and funding institutions under one roof, the program aims to build a robust start-up ecosystem in the agri-tech and animal science domains.

For selected startups like FarmLokal, the program provides not only mentorship and networking platforms but also the possibility of grant-in-aid support of up to ₹25 lakhs.

Why This Matters for FarmLokal

For us at FarmLokal, this selection is much more than just recognition; it’s an opportunity to take our vision further.

  • Strengthening Dairy Roots: Since our foundation is built on authentic dairy products, which include fresh milk, paneer and ghee; SAMRIDDHI’s specialized ecosystem in animal science gives us a perfect platform to innovate and scale in this sector.

  • Technology + Tradition: With IVRI’s in-house technical support, we aim to enhance our quality assurance systems, improve cold-chain logistics, and ensure that what reaches your home is as fresh and pure as it was at the farm.

  • Empowering Local Sellers: One of our biggest goals is to empower small local dairies and sellers by giving them a digital storefront without extra costs. SAMRIDDHI will help us strengthen this model and reach more communities across India.

  • Scaling Nationwide: With the right mentorship and funding opportunities, we’re preparing FarmLokal to expand from Noida and Greater Noida to cities like Bangalore, Delhi and beyond.

The Road Ahead

FarmLokal’s selection for IVRI’s SAMRIDDHI program is a big step toward building a tech-driven, transparent, and farmer-friendly fresh food ecosystem. By combining local authenticity with cutting-edge agri-tech solutions, we’re creating a platform where customers can trust what they consume, and sellers can find fair opportunities to grow.

This journey reaffirms our belief that the future of India’s food system lies in empowering lokal businesses with modern tools and ensuring families never have to compromise on quality.


With the support of programs like SAMRIDDHI, FarmLokal is ready to move from being a Noida-Greater Noida favourite to becoming a nationally trusted platform for fresh, authentic, and local products.

Because at the end of the day, every “lokal” beginning leads to a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow.
