    Reminiscing our GIZ days

    It has been over 12 years since I moved to Delhi to join GIZ’s Renewable Energy team. Leaving IFMR in Chennai for a short-term project at GIZ—one that was set to end in just eight months—was a significant decision. I took the leap with the hope that a second phase of the project would extend our time at GIZ, and fortunately, I ended up working there for nearly three years. It turned out to be a professionally enriching and transformative experience.

    Today, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with some old colleagues and meeting new ones who are now part of the same programs we once worked on. The best part of our GIZ journey is that all of us continue to contribute to energy transition and climate solutions in different capacities. No matter where we are, our paths keep crossing, reinforcing the strong professional network we built during our time at GIZ.

    Transforming Agriculture in the Global South – The South-South Agriculture Alliance

    At Sankalp Forum Nairobi with Agtechs

    I strongly believe that innovative AgTechs can address some of the most pressing problems of the smallholder farmers and small producers. India has been a hub of AgTech innovation and several solutions that have proven themselves in India are now looking to take their solutions to other global south countries.

    As part of South South Agriculture Alliance (SSAGA) we are working on innovation and technology transfer across the global south with aim to transform agriculture for the small producers and small farmers. The first cohort of our SSAGA entrepreneurs are already forging their partnership in the Africa region.

    It is a pleasure to work with these exciting companies and host them at Sankalp Forum at Nairobi. Watch out for these firms..

    WRMS – Innovative insurance products for climate risk facded by the smallholder farmers.

    WhrrL – A wharehouse receipt based loan for smallholder farmers that is leveraging blockchain to for building trust and transparency for the lenders

    SatSure – Crop yield-management, monitoring and agriculture advisory to farmers using deep-tech (satellite remote sensing, machine learning and AI)

    ScaNxt – Affordable soil-testing and other solutions for smallholder farmers

    Prompt Innovations – Affordable and sustainable milk chilling solutions for small milk producers.
