It was wonderful connecting with a few agri-tech entrepreneurs the other week prior to the Omnivore Social. It's inspiring to chat with entrepreneurs driving change in agriculture and food systems. Totally agree that these gatherings highlight the breadth of impactful work happening. Would honestly love to see more regular meet-ups like this happen in Bangalore 😊

There is always something sparkling in the air when entrepreneurs huddle in to discuss the problems they are most fascinated by. During the recent Omnivore Social Event in Bengalour, few of us gathered at the nearest CCD and got to talk about the challenges each of us are grappling with in our everyday work in food and agriculture. This was the antithesis of a networking event - No power plays and status games. Everyone sits in a circle and we exchange our real human selves. We exchanged gossip, notes, insights, learnings, reflections, agony and what not. And in that process, somewhere we touch a deep chord that reminds us that we "cranks" are not alone- somewhere there is also another entrepreneur out there wildly mad enough to tackle bigger problems, deeply passionate about improving the livelihoods of farmers, deeply committed to playing the long game. Whenever people complain about agritech, I tell them to come to these agripreneurs meet and get their perspectives challenged, their assumptions unpacked! Such sessions make me alive thoroughly! Hoping to do more such sessions with several agripreneurs across the country. Excited to host the second edition of Agri-founders' retreat in Blr on May 11th-12th with Vinay Nikam and Shailendra Singh. The wheels have been set in motion! Image Credits: Narain TM
