Job details:
Farm United, a DPIIT-recognized agritech company based in Guwahati, in partnership with Assam Skill University, is hiring a Trainer / Faculty member to deliver our 30-day Certificate Course in Digital Agri-Entrepreneurship — a hands-on programme that turns agriculture, botany, and life-science graduates into working agri-entrepreneurs.
Our trainees go on to become Agripreneurs: independent agri-service operators who bring precision-farming technology, structured advisory, and market access to smallholder farmers across Assam. In our Silchar pilot, a single trained Agripreneur helped 29 farmers achieve a 28% yield increase in one season. We're looking for a trainer who can build more people like that.
You'll deliver classroom and field-based training across four modules — agri-business models, digital marketing and supply chain, precision agriculture and technology, and financial planning — and mentor each cohort through to certification by Assam Skill University.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of agriculture, technology, and entrepreneurship, ideal for someone with a strong agriculture background who enjoys teaching and wants to shape Assam's next generation of agri-businesses.
Responsibilities
Deliver the 45-hour Digital Agri-Entrepreneurship curriculum through classroom sessions, practical demonstrations, and field-based learning over each 30-day cohort.
Teach across the four core modules: (1) agri-business models and innovation, (2) digital marketing and supply chain, (3) precision agriculture and technology (satellite/IoT-based advisory, data analytics), and (4) financial planning and management for agri-startups.
Mentor trainees on building their own agri-service ventures, including familiarity with institutional financing pathways such as PM Mudra Yojana and FPO/JLG models (training support provided).
Conduct assessments and coordinate certification with Assam Skill University.
Adapt teaching materials to the local context and language, and to learners from varied academic backgrounds.
Support cohort onboarding and gather feedback to improve the programme.
Qualifications Required
Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Horticulture, Botany, or a related life science (Master's preferred).
Prior experience in training, teaching, agricultural extension, or running an agri-business.
Strong communication skills and fluency in Assamese and/or Bengali plus English — you'll teach learners and work near farming communities.
Comfort with technology-enabled agriculture and digital tools.
Preferred
Familiarity with precision agriculture (satellite/sensor data, advisory platforms), agri-finance (Mudra, NABARD, FPO financing), or agri supply chains.
Field experience working with smallholder farmers in Assam or the Northeast.
Experience designing or delivering skill-development / certificate programmes.
What We Offer
A role with direct, measurable impact on farmer livelihoods and graduate employability in Assam.
Partnership with Assam Skill University and a recognized certification programme.
Exposure to a working agritech platform (satellite monitoring, AI advisory, WhatsApp-based farmer services).
- A pathway to a longer-term faculty / training-lead role as the programme scales to more cohorts.
