Gentle Reminder for ABM Townhall tonight on "Bold Future of Indian Agrifood Systems"
Dear Friends,
I value your attention and I’ll keep it short. In a couple of hours from now, we are going to be dialoguing with Rikin Gandhi (CEO, Digital Green) and Alekh Sanghera (CEO, Farmart) on the Bold Future Of Indian Agrifood Systems.
While Agriculture is a domain where time remains the biggest leverage, the past often ends up becoming the heaviest albatross in distorting our visions of not just the future, but also the present. Can we boldly envision the future of Indian agri-food systems?
Can we engage in this exercise with two agri-founders working on traditional agrarian contexts, albeit dreaming of newer technological possibilities? That’s the objective of this ABM Townhall.
All systems are convenient fictions we project onto our mental cortex for our instrumental purposes and “Indian agrifood systems” are no different. Alekh recently shared his goal to “elevate the consciousness of the Food & Agri industry" and also his fundamental conviction when it comes to AI: “The more I think about building companies in the age of AI, the more I believe that low-margin, not-IP-led businesses will have the strongest moats.”
Rikin, on the other hand, dreams of Digital Green elevating farmers’ voices thereby engaging with markets with greater equity in 2030.
How do we build these bold futures? In the golden words of William Gibson, The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed. Can we see these emerging, unevenly distributed futures in smallholding contexts? We will explore these questions and more.
