KSKT Secures $1.3 Million to Scale Its Farm-to-Kitchen Revolution

Kisaan Se Kitchen Tak (KSKT), a rising agri-commerce disruptor and a marketplace for Healthier Food Alternatives hailing from India’s heartland, has raised $1.3 million in a Strategic Mix of Equity & Debt

The funding round was led by Keiretsu Forum and Favcy’s 1stCheque Angel Network, with participation from a clutch of early believers. KSKT is a startup from Favcy’s 1to10 Accelerator Cohort.

This milestone is a standout win for the 1to10 Accelerator Cohort, a unique program that identifies high-potential, revenue-generating startups from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and provides them with the tools to scale with speed, clarity, and investor confidence.

KSKT’s inclusion in the 1to10 Accelerator Cohort was driven by their strong early revenue, operational grit, and a powerful vision—to eliminate inefficiencies in the Agri-supply chain and bring chemical-free, traceable & Healthy Food produce from farmers & Artisanal Rural Processors straight to urban kitchens.

Built from Bharat, for Bharat

Founded by Santosh Srivastava and Ishaan Hukku, KSKT is building a robust tech-powered supply chain that empowers over 5,000 farmers, services 32,000+ customers, and delivers everything from farm-fresh greens to daily essentials across both B2B and B2C channels.

"This fundraise is a huge validation of our mission to simplify and digitize the Agri-supply chain while keeping farmers & Rural Economy at the center of the ecosystem," said Santosh Srivastava, Founder & CEO of KSKT. "Our focus has always been on creating a win-win model for both farmers and consumers, and this capital will help us scale that vision across India."

"The Favcy 1to10 Accelerator gave us the structure, strategic direction, and investor access we needed to grow faster with confidence,” added Ishaan Hukku, Co-founder & CBO of KSKT.

Applications are currently open for the Summer 2025 Cohort of the 1to10 Accelerator.

The startup’s model bridges the rural-urban gap while ensuring fair farmer payouts, high repeat usage (68%), and minimal wastage (3%).

KSKT along with Kaze Living (acquired by KSKT), has shown 4X year on year growth and is already generating INR 15 Cr+ in FY25 revenue. It is poised to scale rapidly across new cities and product categories with the fresh fund infusion.

Funding to Drive Scale and Intelligence

The fresh funding will accelerate KSKT’s expansion into 20+ cities, boost farmer onboarding to 50,000+, and power the rollout of AI-led demand forecasting tools to make its supply chain smarter and leaner. The startup is targeting an INR 100+ Cr ARR within the next two years.

Favcy’s Stamp of Confidence

"At Favcy, we believe India's next big startups are being built outside metros. KSKT is proof. The 1to10 Accelerator is designed to discover and back startups like KSKT that are solving real Bharat-scale problems with conviction and traction. Their raise is validation that the model works", said Pranav Chaturvedi, Founding Partner & Managing Director, Favcy VB.

With strong fundamentals, rapid traction, and a razor-sharp mission, KSKT is well on its way to redefining how India eats, one kitchen at a time.
