Joish Agri Sciences (Opc) Private Limited

You can find us in Shanthi Nagar, specifically at H.No. 1-2-512 in Revenue Ward No-1 here in Anantapur. This is a small operation, an OPC, which means I am mostly the one making all the decisions and doing the work. I focus on the science side of agriculture, looking at how to make things grow better in our specific climate. Anantapur isn’t the easiest place to farm because it gets so dry, so I spend a lot of time thinking about seeds and soil health. My office is just a regular room filled with some notes and different soil samples. It isn’t a fancy laboratory like you might see on television, but it serves the purpose for what I do. I talk to local farmers about what they are seeing in their own fields. Sometimes I don’t have all the answers right away, and I have to go back and check things again. It is a lot of trial and error. I didn’t start this business to get rich or have a big corporate name. I just like the technical side of farming and wanted to do it under my own name. People in the neighborhood know where I am if they need to ask a question about their crops or seeds. I keep things pretty low-key. There are no big signs or aggressive selling. It is just about the science of the land and trying to make it work.
