About

I’m passionate about building solutions that reimagine how packaging works – not just for people, but for the planet. As the founder of Agropak, I’m focused on developing sustainable packaging that’s not only functional and beautiful but also designed to disappear. My journey began with a simple observation – packaging waste is everywhere, and it’s not going away anytime soon. That led me to ask: what if we could create packaging that didn't become a problem in the first place? Agropak was born from that question. Today, we design and produce compostable, plastic-free, sustainable packaging using renewable, biodegradable materials. Our products are engineered to break down under normal composting conditions, offering a cleaner, more responsible alternative to traditional plastic. I’m deeply involved in every part of the process – from material exploration and testing to product design and performance. I love working closely with conscious brands that care about the details and want packaging that aligns with their values. For me, this is more than just sustainability – it’s about building something meaningful that contributes to a better future. I believe innovation should be grounded in purpose, and I’m proud to be creating solutions that help brands reduce their impact while standing out. If you’re interested in sustainable packaging, curious about compostable materials, or just want to connect over a shared mission to do better, I’d love to talk. Let’s create packaging that the planet doesn’t have to worry about.

Agropak

Founder and CEO

Feb 2020Present · 6 yrs 1 mo · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

  • Agropak was created to address a growing and urgent issue: traditional plastic packaging continues to pollute our environment long after its use. At Agropak, the focus is on building sustainable packaging that performs reliably, looks premium, and returns safely to nature.
  • As founder, I lead the end-to-end development of plastic-free, compostable packaging solutions made from renewable materials. These products are biodegradable under normal composting conditions and are designed to meet both functional and environmental performance standards.
  • My responsibilities span materials research, product development, testing, and operational oversight. I work closely with conscious brands to ensure that the packaging we deliver not only supports their sustainability goals but also enhances the overall consumer experience.
  • Agropak’s approach is rooted in practical innovation – combining material science with strong design thinking to develop packaging that fits seamlessly into supply chains and consumer lifestyles. We focus on performance, compostability, and shelf appeal – all while eliminating plastic from the equation.
  • From early-stage concepting and prototyping to supplier coordination and testing, I oversee every stage to maintain consistency, quality, and impact. Our work enables brands to move toward responsible packaging without sacrificing efficiency or scale.
  • Key areas of focus include:
  • Compostable and biodegradable packaging materials
  • End-to-end packaging design and testing
  • Plastic-free alternatives for high-volume use
  • Scalable solutions for consumer product brands
  • Supply and manufacturing coordination
  • Product innovation and lifecycle performance
  • Agropak is helping shape a future where packaging supports the product – and the planet. We are building the kind of materials that solve problems instead of creating new ones.
