CA Mohan Singh Rathore
Founder – Maani Amma Agri Exim
Solar Entrepreneur | Agri Exporter | Farmer-First Visionary

CA Mohan Singh Rathore is not just an entrepreneur — he is a mission-driven changemaker working at the grassroots of Indian agriculture. In 2019, he laid the foundation of Maani Amma Agri Exim with a vision that took root in the soil of Rajasthan, born out of the real struggles of the farmers around him.

Hailing from the heartland of Nagaur, Rajasthan, Mohan witnessed firsthand the challenges that cumin, fennel, green gram, and psyllium seed farmers faced: quality produce, but shockingly low market prices. While many turned away, Mohan turned towards the problem. As a Chartered Accountant by qualification and an agriculturist by heart, he leveraged his financial acumen and empathy to bridge the gap between rural farms and global markets.

From a humble start in 2019, Maani Amma Agri Exim has become a trusted export house in India’s agri commodity space, shipping premium-quality spices and pulses to international buyers. Under Mohan's leadership, the company has grown into a network of 5,200+ farmers, united not just by business — but by a shared belief in fair trade, sustainable agriculture, and collective progress.

But Mohan’s vision didn’t stop at exports.

Recognizing the rising energy needs of rural farming communities, he diversified into solar energy solutions for agriculture. His solar venture empowers farmers by installing customized solar systems on farms — reducing dependency on erratic electricity supply and bringing long-term cost savings. It's a fusion of clean energy and clean food, aligning with India’s green future.

Over the past 5 years, Mohan Singh Rathore has emerged as a new-generation rural entrepreneur — combining purpose with profitability, and traditional wisdom with modern enterprise. His story is not just of business growth but of reviving the dignity and strength of farming communities. He believes true success lies in lifting others while you rise.

Whether it’s on a dusty farm road or a global trade desk, Mohan walks with the same integrity — rooted in his values, grounded in community, and driven by the dream to take Indian farmers to the world stage.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
