Professional Experience:

I have hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture, currently working as an Agronomist at MYRADA in Bhadrachalam. My role involves implementing Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), Integrated Pest and Nutrient Management (IPNM), and conducting farmer training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). I’ve led Farmer Field Schools, promoted agroforestry, and conducted financial literacy programs for SHGs. My internship at Coromandel International involved market research on crop protection chemicals. I’ve also worked on agri-finance, distribution analysis, and rural entrepreneurship projects, collaborating with stakeholders to improve farmer livelihoods. My experience blends technical knowledge with community engagement and project execution for impactful field outcomes.

Education:

I hold an MBA in Food and Agribusiness Management from Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Nagpur, and a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture from Agricultural College, Naira. My academic background combines technical knowledge in crop science, pest management, and agri-finance with managerial skills in marketing, project planning, and data analysis. I gained practical exposure through internships with Coromandel International and Canara Bank, and field projects under the READY program. Certifications in Excel, credit analysis, and natural farming further enhance my skillset. This educational foundation equips me to contribute effectively to sustainable agriculture and agribusiness development.

Affiliations and Achievements:

I served as a core member of the FABverse Club at Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (2022–2024), where I contributed to event planning, report writing, and team coordination. I’ve completed professional certifications including Excel Essentials, Ag Matrix Training, the Eduzi Credit Analyst Program, and training under the National Mission on Natural Farming. These achievements reflect my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. My involvement in academic clubs and certified programs has enhanced my leadership, analytical, and communication skills, complementing my technical expertise in agriculture and preparing me for dynamic roles in agribusiness and rural development.
