About

If we are to take our nation forward, we must create livelihoods for rural women. They are 50% of 70% of India's population (i.e., 35% of the population). And when they earn, they reinvest 90% of it in better educational and health outcomes for the family. But 80% of rural women are into the food business already. Can we make better food via our Didis? Hence, there comes FarmDidi ! I feel I was super lucky to have parents who raised their daughter as an individual (not like a girl), that too in a small town in Haryana. I was probably the first girl in town to reach an IIM. Thousands of girls I met in my journey were much smarter, better athletes or even better people. But I got everything. I feel I am bound to give it back and serve the purpose which is very dear to me, which is enabling 10 Lakh FarmDidis. I am spending my learnings from IIM Cal, Kearney, and experience in IT industry on one core mission of empowering 1 million through high-quality food (traceable, tested, traditional). FarmDidi is today # 1 Pickle brand on Amazon, and # 1 online pickle brand today, We have indirectly impacted over 2000+ Didis and have enabled livelihoods for 150 of them today. Yet too far from our mission, It is still Day 1 for us. If you are passionate about same or something similar, lets connect !
