Five practices, in the order a growing manufacturer needs them.
Most firms come to us because they have hit a ceiling they cannot see the shape of. The work usually starts in one practice and moves through the others as the business opens up.
- 01
Plant setup & expansion
Greenfield · layout · capacity · machine selectionSetting up a new implement factory, or taking an existing workshop up to the next volume without building a plant that cannot pay for itself. Site and shed layout, process flow from cutting to paint to assembly, which fabrication and machining equipment actually earns its keep at your volumes, manpower plan, and the licensing and approvals a unit needs before it can supply. We plan the plant; we do not sell you the machines that go into it.
- 02
Market access
Approvals · empanelment · institutional supplyGetting your machine into the channels where implements actually sell — state portal empanelment, scheme eligibility, and the documentation that lets you answer a government tender or an OEM's vendor audit instead of walking away from it. FMTTI testing and certification itself is handled by our sister practice, Farm Machine Testing. Farm Machine Testing.
- 03
Costing & pricing
BOM-up · margin · quoting positionMost manufacturers price by looking at what the firm down the road charges. We build the cost from the bill of materials up, so you know your real margin per machine and can quote to win work without quietly losing money on it.
- 04
Dealers & distribution
Territory · appointment · after-salesTerritory logic instead of whoever walked in, a dealer appointment process you can repeat, and a spares and service structure that turns one season of enquiries into repeat orders in states you have never sold in.
- 05
Recruitment & staffing
Permanent · deputed · retainedFarm mechanization is too narrow a niche for general recruiters and too specialised for a local advertisement. We place the service, workshop, drawing-office and territory-sales people this trade runs on. See the hiring desk.
FMTTI testing has its own practice.
India's complete FMTTI resource — all four institutes, every machine category, the full testing and certification process. Run by AgPro Consulting, it covers all four institutes and the 38 other approved bodies, per-machine test procedures, real fee schedules and report validity. If testing is what you need, start there rather than here.

Nothing rides on the answer we give you.
We are advisers, and we have deliberately kept the business narrow so that our advice cannot be bought. It is also the shortest way to explain what we are not.
- No manufacturingWe build no machines. We will never be your competitor, and we have no plant to keep loaded.
- No dealershipWe hold no distribution rights, and no manufacturer or dealer pays us anything. Our fee comes from you, the client — which is exactly why the advice is worth having.
- No R&D or designWe do not produce drawings or develop products. Where a problem is genuinely a design problem, we say so plainly and you fix it — there is no design fee riding on that answer.
- No machine salesWe are not a broker. If a machine is wrong for your line, nothing is lost to us by saying so.
We are deliberately narrow.
This practice is built for unorganised and owner-run implement manufacturers. Work that sits above that — enterprise strategy, India market entry for an overseas group, commercial due diligence, supply chain across multiple agri sectors — is a different discipline and a different scale. AgPro Consulting covers that ground across eight practices and six sectors. If your question is bigger than a workshop, start there rather than here.

A short conversation is usually enough for us to tell you whether we can be useful, and what it would involve. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us. Hindi, Punjabi and Gujarati are all fine.
