6 open questions
- How many of the 10 active districts are in Bihar, and where its processing units are.
- Date and investors of the $169K seed round.
- The Rs 10 crore ARR and Rs 100 crore ARR figures are company targets, not results.
- ET's expansion target of '66 districts of Bihar and Jharkhand' does not match the two states' district counts (38 and 24), so the target is unclear.
- Registered legal name. ET calls it Cropcoin Technologies; the full company name was not confirmed.
- Revenue and sales figures are company statements, not filings.
