Businesses aren't always about profit.
I've been reflecting on the enterprises that measure success by the impact they create rather than the margins they make. I just watched a 15-minute video on Akshayakalpa Organic, and I can't stop thinking about it.
Akshayakalpa Organic paid 2,800 farmers over ₹17 lakh a year each— aggregating to around ₹480 crore annually flowing directly into farming communities.
Shashi Kumar is crazy.
Here's a tech professional who came all the way back from the US to help farmers — building a full ecosystem that directly benefits farming communities.
What struck me most was Shashi's vision: to build not just a company, but an institution — one designed to outlive its founder and serve the most deserving communities for the next 100, 200, even 300 years.
His deeper mission? To bring the younger generation back to farming and make it a viable vocation....
Can a private enterprise become an institution and social wealth for the nation ? Stories like this make me believe it can. 🌱
Kudos to team of Rainmatter by Zerodha and Nithin Kamath for backing such deserving enterprises.
