Solution

Solving the above problem requires significant efforts at each level like training partners to ask questions in the local language, process of collecting data on digital platforms, reaching the target audience of million people on ground in a month or two
DeHaat partnered with Anaxee to solve the problem of “last mile reach” to understand the farmers of India about their spending behavior, what kind of products farmers prefer and many more insights.

Anaxee with its strong network of “Digital Runners” took up the challenge to bring insightful data for an extended geographical region from thousands of responses gathered.
Anaxee activated more than 700 runners at once to collect data from farmers. In this process Anaxee covered around 1300 villages and collected over 1.2 Lakhs data points from various geographical areas suggested by DeHaat.
With this large data-set and meaningful insights, DeHaat was able to make many business critical decisions.
