Makarand Saoji, Late Shri. Vijay Kashikar, Late Shri. Balwant Umalkar. Shri Ravi Kashikar, the Chairman rightly observes and says that “Ankur is not an organization, it is virtually a movement”. Indeed so, the pioneering work initiated and continued by this Vidarbha-based company has brought prosperity to millions of farmers in many parts of the country. While the founder directors continue to act as guides, the next generation has ably taken over responsibilities at the technological, managerial, organizational, and institutional levels to manage and control departments like production, marketing, to research. Ankur Seeds Private Limited is poised for continued and accelerated growth and development towards sprouting and germination of seeds of prosperity for millions of farmers in the years to come. A feather in the cap was added in the form of Shri. Dilip Rodi. Since Ankur Seeds’ inception, the focus was on R & D and exercising quality control to create a company that will be recognized by farmers across India for delivering superior hybrid seeds. This dedication has paid rich dividends as we have earned the respect and trust of millions of farmers across India and beyond.
