Our founder
Sharmmili is researcher by profession, where she focused on Agricultural research in Masters & also in her PhD. During both researches, she was working with group of farmers, for master’s (India 2012), with Indian farmers and, for PhD (Australia 2018), with Australian farmers. While pursuing her PhD, she was astonished by farmer’s knowledge & their willingness to adapt to modern technology for commercialization. On contrary, during her master’s, she observed lack of this commercialization aspect & willingness to adapt in Indian farmers in spite of having best traditional agricultural practices. This motivated Sharmmili to return to her hometown after PhD & work on problems of rural farmers through Agrotech Commercialization.
When she returned back to India, newspapers were flooded with shut down of Kolhapur’s Jaggery Cottage Industry due to major technological gaps to address market needs, which inspired Sharmmili to work on its addressal through her startup, PureMe.
