This is a Gap Year I wish I had! Dakshinmurthy Krishna Kumar from Mysore left his banking job and travelled with his mom on a scooter. A total of 48100 KMs. The reason? His mother had not stepped out of her town & he wished to show her India! #TuesdayMotivation

In SriLanka, a shift to organic farming in 2019 caused 20% drop in rice production, import of $450 million of rice& 50% increase in its domestic price. Organic is better for consumers, but for farmers it involves higher costs & lower yields. Is GoI aware? #IssuesIWantedToRaise

As I leave Paris today, this is the poster I want to uphold : packets of @arakucoffee stacked in the uber luxury @lebonmarche gourmet store owned by @LVMH & in huge demand. This symbolises how adivasis combined grit, passion, strategy to show anything is possible. @makeinindia

The #government may revise the budget estimate for #fertilisersubsidies in the current fiscal year by around 140% to Rs 2.5 trillion, owing to rising global prices for fertilisers and natural gas, the primary feedstock. #economy

Ever since @CoffeeLibre the celebrated South Korean started becoming Judge and buyer of Award winning ARAKU coffee from us @arakucoffeein I have been an admirer of that nation. Inspirig is how changes are driven by hard working young Koreans. This video tells one such story.

The Summer is setting in early in Hyderbad and many families are taking out their coolers and servicing them. Although ACs are fast replacing them. For a vast mahority, like my mother, fan is still the favourite cooler! This fan is but an antique piece and works unique way!

These two pictures of @arakucoffee convey the answer to the farmers plight and agitation today in India: Hand hold the farmer from soil to spoil. From Agriculture to Retail. Make farmer to an Entrepreneur who earns real profits.

I want to applaud my Araku Team @naandi_india for working with the tribal farmers to harvest & readied the 23 MT for Denmark which will herald ARAKU becoming globally acclaimed for Pepper too. Each farmer had 200 odd trees to climb ans each made net profit of โ‚น100,000/- (2/2)
