Overview

The Cisco Agri Challenge was launched in December 2020 by The/Nudge Prize, in partnership
with the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, to double the income of 1
million farmers.

The winners of the Challenge, announced in April 2022, were S4S Technologies and BioPrime
AgriSolutions, winning Rs 1 crore and Rs 25 lakh respectively. 8 Finalists competed for the
Grand Prize, with 5 of them receiving milestone grants of Rs 15 lakh each, bringing the prize
purse to a total of Rs 2 crore.

With regard to this, The/Nudge Prize, in partnership with Cisco, is seeking proposals from
research and evaluation agencies/ consultants to evaluate the journey, growth and
performance of the contestants, with a focus on the winners, a year after the challenge.
