Why We Do What We Do
Why
does farming sound synonymous with an unprofitable endeavour?
do the small farmers, who represent 86% of the total Indian farmers and comprising around 100 million households, largely live in poverty?
is the business risk of farming so high that it becomes unreliable?
THIS SHOULD CHANGE...
The Questions We Asked Ourselves
When agricultural land generates more returns than gold or stock market on an average, what is causing people to not invest in farm lands?
How can we harness the power of capital to fuel innovation, which transforms the future of farming for Indian smallholder farmers?
When the world has advanced so much in agriculture, why are our farmers left behind? How do we design for the Indian small farmers?
How can farming be made profitable while being judicious with the resources?
We are a team of multi disciplinary professionals, with an objective to carry on agriculture in a profitable, professional, scientific, and eco friendly manner.
At the core, we are a group of die-hard believers in the restorative powers of nature.
We believe that the best way to harness those powers is through regenerative farming. We have tried, experimented, even failed at times, yet we persevered. And we value those failures as stepping stones that paved our way to success.
