The Indian agriculture industry is experiencing a shift in its approach, with technology, sustainability, and market access playing a pivotal role in shaping its future trajectory. Ashish Kumar Tiwari (Brahmachari Madhav Ji), Founder, Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Swarat Madhav Industries Limited is among the entrepreneurs looking to make a difference in this change. Tiwari’s strategy is centered on agricultural modernization and rural economic development, aiming to create a business that bridges the needs of Indian farmers and the opportunities available in the changing agricultural landscape.
Swarat Madhav Industries Limited is based out of Uttar Pradesh and is building an integrated model for agriculture, which includes the farming operation, quality grading, post harvest management, modern storage system and bulk distribution. The company doesn’t just target any one point on the agricultural value chain, but instead tackles several problems that impact agricultural productivity, efficiency and market access. Its ultimate goal is to improve linkages between farm, institutional buyers, commodity traders and commercial markets.
The core of this vision is Tiwari’s conviction that solutions for future agriculture in India aren’t just about production growth, but also how agricultural produce is preserved, managed and marketed. These are still issues in the sector, including post harvest losses, inadequate facilities for storing, and weak distribution networks. His company aims to also enable farmers to look for better commercial opportunities and efficient operations of agriculture through technology and better infrastructure.
