With over 12 years of diverse experience in agriculture, technology, and artificial intelligence, I have had the privilege of leading transformative initiatives that drive innovation and efficiency across public and private sectors. As Vice President at Samagra, I have been deeply involved in the development of cutting-edge solutions for agricultural governance, including co-authoring Odisha’s State Agriculture Policy and spearheading impactful projects such as Krushak Odisha, a farmer registry serving 7.9 million farmers, and the KALIA scheme, which distributed $1.25B in direct income transfers to over 5.5 million cultivators and landless households. My focus extends beyond agriculture, with a strong portfolio in AI-driven solutions. I’ve led the development of platforms like Krishi SahAIyak and Kisan e-Mitra, enabling millions of farmers to access advisory services and support through AI-powered chatbots. These initiatives have not only improved farmer productivity but have also revolutionized the way technology integrates with agriculture. Prior to Samagra, my career spans leadership roles in technology and product development, including stints at Boston Consulting Group and Indus Valley Partners, where I oversaw the creation of key solutions for financial institutions and hedge funds. With a background in engineering and a passion for driving change through technology, I am committed to developing scalable, data-driven solutions that address the most pressing challenges in agriculture, governance, and beyond.
