Congratulations to all the IAP Members for crossing the magic number of 100,000 on this group! IAP, a public group since May 25th, has seen its member posts become available to non-members too. Thanks to this, the group's current active viewers have consistently crossed half a million, making it by far the largest group around our theme areas out of India and for stakeholders in the entire Global South. Viewers who are not members can join by hitting the join button. Members are requested to invite their connects who may be interested in Agriculture and allied sectors in all countries from the Global South.
Here are some highlights of the member demographics:- Over 6500 senior and CXO level professionals in agriculture companies, including 1000+ such leaders from outside India- 3000+ professionals with trading, procurement and purchase backgrounds in the agri-commodity sector- 250 investors from marquee Venture Capital funds and family offices- Over 3000 startup founders or senior management personnel in startups
IAP provides a huge service to members by enabling sharing and learning among members. IAP on LinkedIn and other social media platforms are evolving into crowd-sourced digital extension platforms for agriculture and are being run as public utilities for all stakeholders. IAP hopes to become the town hall for the agriculture and allied sector ecosystem in India. Startups focusing on agriculture and allied sectors can reach out to admin/managers for mentorship and partnership. We have seen the phenomena of network effect and wisdom of the crowds kick in across all groups.
Join the IAP group to expand your network in the sector.
