It is very exciting to see growing interest from educated and young professionals in agri-sector and related areas. Especially with the opening up of FDI , we have been seeing an increasing interest from 'IT-Techies' , mid career managers, MBAs and NRIs alike who want to start agro/food based ventures.
efarm , India's leading agri supply chain startup, has been conducting agri-entrepreneurship training programs every month for past 2+ years at our base in Chennai/TN. Considering the growing inquiries coming from other cities, we have decide to go ROAMING , starting this month. The next agri business training is scheduled for Nov 3rd & 4th (sat/sun) in Bengaluru.
Do help spread the word around to fellow Bengalurians from the 'Garden city' , who often seem to be caught between 'mile long traffic' and 'pile-high garbage' ;-)
Farmingly Yours,
