About Khetly

A fair market
for every farm.

India’s farmers grow food for 1.4 billion people, yet often keep only a fraction of what their harvest finally sells for. Khetly exists to change that — by putting the farmer and the buyer face to face, for free.

Why we exist

Fewer hands between
the field and the plate.

A sack of potatoes can pass through four or five middlemen before it reaches a kitchen. Each one takes a cut, and the person who grew it — who took the risk of the weather, the seed and the loan — is paid last and least.

Khetly is a direct, open marketplace. A farmer lists in three photos, buyers compete in the open, and the money goes straight from buyer to farmer at pickup. We take nothing.

What we believe

Three promises.

Free, forever

No listing fees, no commission and no subscriptions. Khetly will never stand between a farmer and their money.

Simple for everyone

Big buttons, pictures before words, three steps to sell. If it is not easy for a first-time smartphone user, it is not done.

Trust by design

Every seller verified by a person, every buyer verified by phone, numbers shared only after a deal.

What comes next

From a market
to a farm partner.

Selling is where we start. Next come village-level weather and crop advice, an AI assistant that answers in your language, mandi price forecasts, crop planning, and a single place to find the government schemes, loans and insurance you qualify for.
