At the turn of the century, in 2000, ITC launched an ambitious programme called e-choupal. Long before agritech had become a buzzword, ITC tried to put tech into agri.

Has the context of Indian agriculture and the regulatory environment completely changed for e-choupal to be relevant? TR Vivek is in conversation with S Sivakumar, the Hyderabad-Based Group Head of Agri & IT Business, ITC.
