Overview
About Farmveda
https://www.farmveda.inFarmVeda (www.farmveda.in), a for-profit social enterprise founded by Dr. Trilochan Sastry (Professor, Former Dean, IIM Bangalore) in 2016 with investments from the Tata Trust and Infosys co-founder. Dr. Sastry started working for farmers way back in 2003 through an NGO he set up called Centre for Collective Development (www.ccd.ngo). This organization promotes cooperatives and supports over 25,000 farmers as of today. After seeing the success of CCD, FarmVeda was established with the mission of taking farmers further up the value chain. This is achieved by establishing a branded food manufacturing company (much along the lines of what Amul is to dairy farmers). Currently, FarmVeda has traditional idli/dosa mixes and podis to offer. Our USP is preservative free, homemade-taste, nutritious food. Farmveda products aim to raise farmers of India to prosperity. All profits are shared with farmers cooperatives. No preservatives are being used in our products.
