Founder of two successful ventures: Laxmi Industries, established in 2003, and Desi Farms, founded in 2016. These endeavors have not only brought me professional success but have also been a source of immense personal satisfaction.
One of the most valuable aspects of my journey has been the wealth of experiences gained through numerous challenges, countless learning opportunities, and, yes, even a few failures along the way. These moments have shaped me into the person I am today and have taught me invaluable lessons that I carry with me as I continue to grow and innovate in the business world."
Today, Laxmi Industries stands as one of the top three wire mesh manufacturers in Maharashtra, while Desi Farms has emerged as a distinguished Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) dairy and daily essentials brand. Desi Farms boasts a distinctive distribution channel and an impressive product lineup.
In the case of Desi Farms, our dedication and effort were focused on building a D2C dairy and daily essentials brand that places a strong emphasis on crafting products with unique differentiators. Despite the saturation of the Indian dairy market with numerous brands, what sets us apart is our unwavering commitment not only to innovative product development but also to constructing an unparalleled distribution network for these distinct offerings. Our unwavering diligence and dedication have yielded substantial results, facilitating the successful execution of over 100,000 home deliveries each month in Pune, PCMC, Navi Mumbai, and Thane. In tandem, we secured funding exceeding one million dollars from investors.
Following my departure from the previous venture, my focus has transitioned towards ongoing learning, dedicated efforts to enhance both physical and mental well-being, and the active cultivation of a network with like-minded individuals who share similar interests and aspirations.
Thank you and remember to Stay Fit and Stay Healthy.
