In the heart of India’s agricultural landscape, a meaningful change is underway. Arya.ag, a trailblazing agri-tech platform, is on a mission to dismantle age-old inefficiencies and empower every stakeholder in the value chain, from the smallest farmer to the largest buyer. By integrating warehousing, financing, and market linkages into a single, seamless ecosystem, Arya.ag is impacting the smallest of stakeholders in the agri value chain.
But powering a nationwide movement required a secure and scalable technological foundation. To manage its diverse workforce operating across 27 Indian states, Arya.ag turned to JumpCloud. The partnership has been transformative, enabling Arya.ag to fortify its security posture, and lay the groundwork for its next audacious goal: an IPO.
Here are some key impacts at a glance:
95%+ Reduction in Onboarding Time
A lean 4-person IT team supports a 4,000+ workforce with JumpCloud
The Challenge: Powering a Revolution Across a Diverse Nation
Arya.ag’s operational footprint spans the vast and varied terrain of India, powered by a workforce as diverse as the country itself: full-time employees in corporate offices, and a large, distributed team of off-role staff at remote warehouses. Their technology landscape was equally varied, with engineering teams on Linux and macOS, operations on Windows, and sales on Chromebooks. This heterogeneity created the need for a single, unifying force to manage their devices, secure their network, and provide seamless access to their custom-built applications.
With a diverse workforce using everything from Mac and Linux to Windows, we needed a single solution. On top of that, we also needed a single sign-on and a way to protect our Wi-Fi. We needed something to secure everything.

The Solution: A Unified Platform for a Unified Mission
Arya.ag chose the JumpCloud open directory platform for a comprehensive, cloud-based solution that unified its disparate systems and user identities. The key capabilities that empowered Arya.ag’s mission were:
1. Cross-Platform Device Management: JumpCloud’s ability to command a fleet of macOS, Windows, and Linux devices from a single console was a transformative step for the IT team.
2. Single Sign-On (SSO):JumpCloud’s SSO became the universal key, granting secure and simple access to custom applications, especially for the 3,000+ untrained vendor staff at warehouses.
3. RADIUS-as-a-Service: JumpCloud’s cloud RADIUS feature fortified their digital perimeters, securing Wi-Fi networks across all locations.
4. Automation of User Lifecycle: The ability to automate onboarding and offboarding allowed the small IT team to operate with the efficiency and impact of a much larger one.
With the expert guidance of JumpCloud’s partner, NetNxt, the implementation was swift, allowing Arya.ag to get back to the front lines of their mission without delay.
The Impact: Accelerating the Agri-Tech Revolution
The adoption of JumpCloud has had a profound impact, acting as a force multiplier for Arya.ag’s operational efficiency and security.
Drastic Reduction in Onboarding Time:
User onboarding time plummeted from two days to under an hour—a reduction of over 95%—allowing new team members to become productive almost instantly.
Enhanced Security and Compliance:
JumpCloud became the cornerstone of Arya.ag’s security and compliance strategy. Beyond instant user offboarding, they now enforce critical security policies across the organization, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strict password requirements for length and complexity. The comprehensive audit trails provide a clear history of user activity, ensuring they meet the rigorous compliance standards required in the Fin-Tech space.
Robust Security
Compliance with security policies soared from 60% to 90%, fortifying the overall security posture.
Empowering a Small IT Team:
A lean IT team of just 4 now securely manages the entire 4,000+ person workforce—with JumpCloud as the ultimate co-pilot.
Supporting the Grassroots Workforce:
A revolution is built by people from all walks of life. A significant portion of Arya.ag’s workforce is untrained. JumpCloud’s simplicity ensures that technology is an enabler, not a barrier.
Looking to the Future
Arya.ag’s vision is bold: to store 10% of India’s agricultural produce in its warehouses and launch a successful IPO. This next phase requires partners who can scale with their ambition.
As we scale towards our IPO, compliance is paramount. With JumpCloud as our platform and the incredible, hands-on support from NetNxt, we have a powerful partnership that automates tasks and ensures we’re ready for the future.
