Mahesh Bharatula — Founder
Hey There, You are doing an e-hand shake with Mahesh Bharatula. An Engineered Entrepreneur by passion, Innovator by Mindset, Product champ by choice & Leader by Nature. From a young age, leadership and a thirst for innovation were driving evident for my journey. My love for science and technology was recognized with the prestigious INSPIRE AWARD by the Indian government at the tender age of 12. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that has seen me garner over 100 awards and achievements in national and state-level competitions by the time I finished school. Seeking hands-on engineering education, I opted for a polytechnic path. This practical approach not only fueled my existing mindset, but also unearthed the entrepreneurial fire within me. At just 17, I Founded a company with the vision of providing innovative electronic solutions to address emerging problems. This venture quickly gained traction, securing 10+ clients within the first month. Fueled by this early success, I set my sights even higher. Meanwhile, Ranking 149th in the state engineering entrance exam, I secured a coveted position at a renowned engineering institution. This marked a pivotal turning point in my career. Within a mere 23 days of joining, my company was accepted into the university's prestigious startup incubation cell. The team was further invigorated by the arrival of exceptional co-founders, solidifying our capabilities within just 45 days. A burning question propelled us on a relentless quest for the perfect solution. The inevitable challenges we encountered along the way only served to strengthen our resolve and sharpen our focus. Through perseverance and numerous iterations, we finally arrived at a groundbreaking solution – a customizable answer to a critical challenge facing the global agricultural sector. Aptly named GROWHITHA, this innovation propelled us into the spotlight. We've faced rejections, received accolades, and garnered a multitude of awards, all of which have fueled our unwavering commitment to progress. My journey, alongside my team of champions, continues. We're driven by an insatiable desire to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges and create a positive impact on our nation.
