As many as 57 agricultural entrepreneurs participated in the fourth edition of the Agri Founders Retreat at Chilika in Odisha recently. Past editions were held in Nashik, Bengaluru and Jaipur.
A media brief said that this wasn’t the typical agri-tech conference as there were no pitch decks, no business card exchanges, no panels. Instead, founders gathered to embrace failures, share struggles, and to co-create solutions.
From bio-input revolutionaries and aquaculture pioneers to climate-tech disruptors, goat farmers, and deep-tech soil scientists, the diversity was striking, it said.
Coversation topics
Conversations around scaling challenges, pivots, and funding barriers were delivered with sincerity. There were dialogues around climate-resilient agriculture, soil health, chemical-free food systems, etc., it said.
The event was organised by Venky Ramachandran, Vinay Nikam, Vijay Dhole, Amrendra Singh, Dinesh Santhanam and Abhilash Thirupathy, it added.
