I would like to commend The/Nudge Foundation and Cisco for putting together the Cisco Agri challenge platform. Such platforms are instrumental in building critical linkages in the ecosystem bringing together agritech startups, investors and leading academic universities. I hope the platform will continue to serve as a nucleus for growing and scaling agritech initiatives in India.
Agritech investments have a far-reaching multiplier effect. Increasing the income of farmers, particularly women farmers is the key to sustainable development. Ankur Capital is committed to supporting high potential entrepreneurs with solutions that bring prosperity to the Indian farmer. We are here to partner in every way to turn visions into reality.
As a top ranked college of Agriculture & Engineering, Purdue is well positioned to provide integrated and synergistic contribution to address complex issues in The Cisco Agri Challenge and we are immensely excited to share our knowledge as an innovation partner.
