A 1to10 Accelerator By Favcy Venture Builders' success story that's rewriting the rules of agri-commerce from India’s heartland
In a major milestone, Kisaan Se Kitchen Tak (KSKT) has raised $1.3 million in a strategic mix of equity and debt — a boost that will power its mission to make healthy, traceable food the new norm for Indian kitchens.
The round was led by Keiretsu Forum India and 1stCheque by Favcy’s Angel Network, alongside a group of early believers who’ve backed the agri-commerce disruptor since its early days.
KSKT is part of the 1to10 Accelerator — Favcy’s flagship program for high-potential startups from Tier 2 and Tier 3 India.
From Bharat, For Bharat
Founded by Santosh Srivastava and Ishaan Hukku, KSKT is building a digitally integrated supply chain that cuts out inefficiencies, eliminates chemical-laden middlemen, and gives Indian families access to clean, local produce.
“This fundraise is a huge validation of our mission to simplify and digitize the agri-supply chain while keeping farmers & the rural economy at the center,” says Santosh Srivastava, Founder & CEO of KSKT.
Our focus has always been on creating a win-win model for both farmers and consumers — this capital helps us scale that vision across India.
Their approach? Tight integration with over 5,000+ farmers, delivering to 32,000+ customers with minimal wastage (3%) and high repeat usage (68%).
From farm-fresh greens to daily essentials, their B2B and B2C channels are growing fast — with KSKT already clocking ₹15 Cr+ in FY25 revenue and showing 4x YoY growth, especially after the acquisition of Kaze Living.
A 1to10 Accelerator Win
KSKT’s rise is also a massive win for Favcy’s 1to10 Accelerator — a one-of-a-kind program designed to back revenue-generating startups from outside India’s top metros.
“The Favcy 1to10 Accelerator gave us the structure, strategic direction, and investor access we needed to grow faster with confidence,” says Ishaan Hukku, Co-founder & Chief Business Officer.
Startups like KSKT are at the heart of what the accelerator was built to do — discover “real Bharat” solutions with real traction and build them into VC-backable, high-scale businesses.
And it’s working. This funding round adds momentum to a model that bets on fundamentals, not just founder pedigree or pitch decks.
“At Favcy, we believe India’s next big startups are being built outside metros. KSKT is proof,” says Pranav Chaturvedi, Founding Partner & Managing Director at Favcy VB.
“Their raise is validation that the 1to10 Accelerator works — and that solving Bharat-scale problems creates serious business value.”
What’s Next: Smarter Scale, Deeper Impact
With the fresh capital infusion, KSKT is doubling down on expansion and intelligence. Here’s what the roadmap looks like:
Expand operations to 20+ cities
Onboard 50,000+ farmers into the network
Roll out AI-powered demand forecasting tools to optimize supply and reduce waste
Target a ₹100 Cr+ ARR within the next 24 months
This is not just a scale-up story — it’s a mission-driven play to transform how food moves from soil to stove.
A Model That Works — and Scales
While the agri-tech space in India is full of noise, KSKT stands out for grounding its ambition in strong fundamentals:
Deep rural linkages
Real revenue
Supply chain control
Proven repeat behavior
It’s not just helping consumers eat better — it’s putting money back into the hands of smallholder farmers, bringing structure to an otherwise chaotic agri-supply chain, and building rural-urban bridges with tech.
Cohort Applications Open
If you’re a founder building from Bharat, the next window to join the 1to10 Accelerator is now open.
The accelerator supports:
Founders with proven revenue
Product-market fit in Tier 2/3 India
Clear investor-readiness roadmaps
KSKT’s fundraise is more than a headline — it’s proof that mission-led, operator-first, regionally rooted startups can raise serious capital, build serious businesses, and solve massive, real-world problems.
