Wealth by Motilal Oswal

In this Insightful conversation, Vivek Nirmal, Co-founder of Kisan Connect, shares his journey from building and scaling Prabhat Dairy a company he sold to a French dairy giant for $220 million to starting over and building one of India's most promising farm-to-fork businesses.

From a personal tragedy that inspired him to fix India's contaminated food supply chain, to building a tech-first, farmer-first model serving over 1 lakh customers in Mumbai and Pune, Vivek breaks down what it really takes to build a business in perishables.

He opens up about pricing, farmer income, quality control, fundraising discipline, and why execution not tech is the real differentiator in this space. Building trust, one harvest at a time, is at the heart of everything Kisan Connect does.
