Relationship Capital

Rallis is building, sustaining and growing the business and the value inherent in its relationships with stakeholders.

Delivering Value to Customers

Crop Care

Domestic Business

Farmers

Our guiding principle of engaging with farmers is through Rallis Samrudh Krishi (RSK), a crop solution-centric approach. Dr. Vishwas’ Helpline and Rallis Krishi Samadhan Mobile App complements Advisory services. As we understand that crops grown by farmers and the likely interventions needed, we suggest appropriate solutions. During FY 2022-23, we focussed on further strengthening, planning and implementation efforts among the Field Marketing, Product Marketing and Distance Marketing teams.

Channel Partners

We are working at creating long-term relationships with our Channel Partners through Anubandh Retailer Club for select retailers and through MD Elite & COO Club for key distributors. Also, through Bhagidhari Sabha, understand the concerns of key dealers and request their inputs in business planning.

Exports Business

The Export Business team has taken a slew of initiatives to strengthen our relationships with strategic partners by exploring new geographies for existing products and evaluating opportunities for new products. It helps our customers get the new products by fast-tracking the registration process in overseas countries. The division also focusses on developing new distribution networks in Asian and African countries to maximise sales and product offerings.

Seeds

Farmers

Farmers are connected through on-ground activation in preseason activity and off-season activities and through product differentiation activities. Key farmers are part of our Dhaanya Progressive Farmers (DPF) initiative and are also engaged in testing and promoting new products.

Channel Partners

The distributor and retailer engagement programmes are aimed at building a loyal group of retailers and distributors who contribute to achieving revenue targets. Our family-based engagement programmes for distributors help create a sense of shared ownership and responsibility and a more stable and sustainable channel network.

Delivering Value to Partners

Crop Care: We work with strategic alliance partners for the development and introduction of new active ingredients and collaborate for new formulation development. Our capabilities and those of our partnering companies assist in delivering the R&D-driven product. ‘Clasto’ and ‘Capstone’ were launched during the year as part of our strategic collaboration efforts.

Seeds: Rallis has entered into a collaborative agreement with PlantArcBio (PAB) for developing drought-tolerant maize. In partnership with state agriculture universities, we are at an advanced stage for heat-tolerant wheat.

Delivering Value to Our Employees

Trust and excellence are at the core of our value system at Rallis. We are always responsive to the needs, ideas and suggestions of the employees. Our open-door policy encourages our employees to approach seniors. We also encourage teamwork among the employees through participation in cross-functional teams to provide growth opportunities.
