Shashi Kumar, Founder & CEO, Akshayakalpa Organic

With a background of 17 years in the technology industry, he decided to return to his homeland with a single goal: rethink and recreate his country’s farm sector that will improve the economic conditions of millions of small and marginal farmers. Personally driven by seeing his family drift away from agriculture after six generations of struggle and toil. Along with noted veterinarian and social entrepreneur Dr G.N.S. Reddy, and the financial support of 27 professional colleagues, Shashi started Akshayakalpa Organic in 2010. Akshayakalpa has grown to become India’s largest certified organic milk company, serving fresh and nutritious organic milk to more than 60,000 households daily in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. A vast majority of the 850 farmers who are now part of the Akshayakalpa movement have improved their earnings by 3-4 times and live the life of any reasonably successful entrepreneur or professional in India.
