AK Mill is a team of technologist, and MBAs with global experience, turned farmer, set out in a mission to fix the broken Rice quality and its supply chain in India.
In 2018 after coming back to India after working abroad for almost a decade, we wonder why rice doesn't taste as good what it used to 10-12 years back. To solve this, we started AK Mill, to grow our own paddy, and process in our own facility. And the result was unbelievable.
With AK Mill supply chain is simplified, from farm to our processing unit, and then directly to the consumer. Our direct-to-consumer model helps us to process the rice in our own facility to ensure, quality and nutrients of rice are maintained. Our model also helps the consumer save on price at the same time passing the benefits to farmers. With a robust supply chain, rice is not stored with preservatives, and you get fresh rice.
