All agribusiness innovators and budding entrepreneurs will get an opportunity to present their ideas/ prototypes for individual advice. Whether a farmer with an idea, a businessperson or a student —anyone can bring their ideas for help in scaling-up.
The Agri-business Investors Camp will be held on June 12 at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) by Agri- Business Incubation (ABI) Programme. The camp is oriented around three themes: Agri-Technology, Agri-Engineering and Food Processing.
The aim is to identify and invest in innovative, early-stage start-ups that have the potential to become scalable and competitive food and agribusiness ventures. “The camp is targeted at the Indian start-up entrepreneurs and innovators in the agricultural sector and will serve as an ideal platform to present business ideas and models to secure additional funding support of up to Rs. 1 Crore (USD 156, 000) and to scale-up,” said Mr. S.M. Karuppanchetty, Chief Operating Officer of the Agri-Business Incubation (ABI) Programme.
“As part of the ICRISAT-ABI program, we will offer incubation support to selected entrepreneurs with innovative ideas,” he added. Interested can send plans/ ideas to: Divya Nancy at d.nancy@cgiar.org , +91-40-3071-3451 or Rahul Joshi at rahuljoshi3079@gmail.com, +91-9985020108.
