About us
Oorja is a Farming-as-a-Service company working at the intersection between clean energy and sustainable agriculture. It acts as a multi-utility providing affordable solar-powered irrigation, milling and cooling services to smallholder farmers on a Pay-Per-Use (PPU) basis, in weak-grid areas of northern India. We are proud to have pioneered the inclusive and customer-centric PPU model for productive use appliances in agriculture to eliminate the upfront technology acquisition cost barrier for last-mile BoP farmers, with less than 2 acres landholding and incomes of around INR 60,000 per year. Oorja finances, installs, operates and maintains decentralised solar assets at/near the farm and through its three services reduces energy costs, increases productivity and income and mitigates CO2e emissions, building climate resilience for farmers. Our mission is empower 1 million farmers globally by 2030 with the agricultural services they need to sustainably increase their income and quality of life.

Empowering Women Farmers, Changing the Status Quo in Agriculture 🌱 At Oorja, we’re committed to transforming agriculture by championing women’s participation and recognition as farmers—not merely as labourers. In India, a major disparity exists: while men are often recognised as “farmers,” women are frequently overlooked, even though they perform a significant share of agricultural labour. This discrepancy impacts their access to essential resources, support systems, financing, and knowledge—limiting their potential as key stakeholders in agriculture. We’re working to make farming more accessible for women by expanding our solar irrigation💧 services to women-led farms. Since 2022, women farmers accessing Oorja’s irrigation services have tripled from 5% to 17%. Our dedicated team of women farmer advisors 🌾 is actively guiding and training women in advanced farming techniques, climate-smart agriculture, and sustainable practices like vermicomposting and organic inputs. Oorja is committed to building an inclusive future where women have the recognition, resources, and respect they deserve. The future of farming is brighter with empowered women at its core.🌾 #WomenInAgriculture #EmpoweringFarmers #SolarIrrigation #ClimateSmartAgriculture #WomenEmpowerment #OorjaImpact

We're honored to share that Oorja has been awarded the Climate-Positive and Equitable Food Systems Prize, supported by the Seeding The Future Foundation. This award recognises our deep commitment to reshaping food systems for climate resilience and social equity. At Oorja, we’re driven by the vision of a food-secure world where climate-smart solutions reach the most marginalised farmers. Through our climate-smart advisory services, we provide smallholders with regular training and crucial guidance on sustainable practices, climate-resilient seeds, and optimised soil health management. Alongside solar-powered irrigation, these solutions empower farmers to improve crop yields, diversify their produce, and thrive despite the uncertainties of a changing climate. Our work is challenging the systemic inequities that leave small farmers vulnerable to environmental shocks. By equipping these farmers with affordable services and scientific knowledge, we’re fostering independence and resilience, paving the way for food systems that are not only sustainable but accessible and fair. With every new milestone, we step closer to a world where food security isn’t a privilege, but a right for all. 🌍💚 #ClimateEquity #FoodForAll #SustainableAgriculture #ResilientFarming #ClimateSmartAgriculture #OorjaImpact Acumen Ashden The DOEN Foundation Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge elea Partners Group Echoing Green Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Aga Khan Foundation International Institute for Sustainable Development Power for All Artha Impact (Rianta Capital) USAID GOGLA MassChallenge The Global Good Fund MIT Solve
