Botganic Ventures Private Limited

Our base is at Vadakkekunnel Nagapuzhaa in the Kalloorkkad area of Ernakulam. It is a pretty green part of the world, which really suits what we do here. We’re called Botganic Ventures, and we mostly look at things related to plants and organic materials. It is not a corporate office with cubicles and carpets; it is more of a working site where we get our hands dirty every day. We started this because we wanted to see if we could do things a bit differently in the agriculture space. It is mostly just us and a few workers from around the local village. The roads in Nagapuzhaa can be a bit rough after a big storm, so sometimes getting things moved in and out is a real challenge for us. We don't have a big public relations person writing our materials. We just focus on the plants and whatever ventures we’ve got going on at the moment. It is hard work, and the weather doesn't always cooperate with our plans for the week. We’ve had seasons where things didn't go right at all, but you just keep moving forward. We’re just a small Ernakulam company trying to do something meaningful with the land we have. If you’re ever out near Kalloorkkad, you might see us working out there in the fields. We aren't doing anything fancy, just growing a business.
