Oorja Development Solutions

Oorja Development Solutions operates at the intersection of agriculture and clean energy, providing solar-powered farming services to smallholder farmers in emerging markets. The company offers irrigation, milling, and cooling services on a pay-per-use basis, allowing farmers to pay only for the amount of water pumped, produce milled, or stored. This model eliminates upfront costs, making advanced agricultural technologies accessible to low-income communities. Oorja's services are designed to enhance livelihoods, increase food security, and promote sustainable development. The company is aligned with five of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on affordable and reliable energy access, economic activity, and poverty alleviation. Oorja also provides training to farmers, empowering them to grow high-value crops and increase their agricultural income. The company recently secured $1 million in seed funding to scale up its operations and expand its impact.
