• Meet Satyajit, the Co-Founder of TBOF. Along with his brother Ajinkya, he is changing the way farming / Agribusiness is perceived in India and Globally.
• I heard about TBOF for the first time from my friend Tejesh Chitlangi - a year ago. When I read about their story, and saw their work, I could immediately relate to their vision.
• In just 5 years they have built a promising brand that creates organic products, supports farmers who practice organic farming and promote soil and water conservation in the process.
• With a base at a remote village in Maharashtra they sell their products globally across 53 countries.
• I felt this was an inspiring story and was in awe with the love and passion they had for their work.
• I got in touch with Satyajit and Ajinkya and we spoke over a zoom call to understand the business and explore the ways I could support them.
• In June 2023, when TBOF raised their Pre-Series-A Funding, it was a no-brainer for me to invest and support them to the best of my capability.
• In September 2023, when they did a 40 day USA tour I hosted a talk by them in my house, invited people from my community and helped them connect with more people. Their US trip was a resounding success!
• I find very few brands take up such a big responsibility and do their work with honesty, dedication, and a lot of passion. Their commitment to revolutionise the agricultural industry towards organic farming is exemplary and needs much more support.
• While doing good the right way they have even tick marked the right growth rates.
• The innovative approach of TBOF to solve complex problems of agriculture and make clean food is commendable. I have felt a very strong connection with Two Brothers and the work they do.
• I look forward to support them in their growth objectives such as fund raising as well as strategic operational initiative as they continue to scale, and help solve organic farming and clean food challenges.
