Spudnik Farms is a B2C agri-tech company that is building an alternative food system by restoring the lost connection between farmers, consumers and the environment through the concept of “family farmers”. Their goal is to create a better food-system that distributes profits equitably, guarantees fresh and chemical-free food for consumers, enhances food security, and protects natural resources.

By working directly with farmers, Spudnik Farms helps them organize production, provides on-field technical support based on regenerative agricultural principles and manages a traceable, demand-linked integrated supply chain. Through this supply chain, they ensure the supply of fresh, chemical-free farm produce to consumers and aim to market value-added products made from unique region-specific produce under a single brand throughout India.

Sumeet Kaur

FOUNDER

Sumeet Kaur graduated from NLSIU Bangalore, India’s most prestigious law school and worked for nearly a decade in one of the largest tax consultancy firms in the country, before deciding to shift focus to agriculture. A self-taught farmer, she realized from her initial experience growing and supplying produce to friends and acquaintances that the existing food system is comprehensively inequitable and inefficient, and ripe for disruption. She founded Spudnik Farms with the aim of establishing a more equitable and efficient business model for farming, while serving the unmet needs of both consumers and farmers.
