Ascentus Organics Pvt. Ltd.

We are tucked away at Warwick Estate in the Nilgiris. It’s a quiet place most of the time, though you can hear the birds and the wind through the trees. Ascentus Organics Pvt. Ltd. isn't a big, fancy company. We are just a group of people who care about how things are grown. We spend most of our days out in the fields or in the sheds where we handle the crops. It's a lot of walking and checking on the plants to see how they're doing. The soil here is good, but it takes a lot of looking after. We don't use a lot of high-tech gadgets. Mostly it’s just hands-on work. We started this because we wanted to do things the old-fashioned way, without all the chemicals people use nowadays. It’s not always easy, especially when the weather doesn't go our way. Some years it rains too much and we worry about the roots. Other times it's too dry. But that's just part of life up here. Our office is just a small room with a few wooden desks and some old shelves. We don't have a receptionist or a lobby with coffee machines. Usually, if you stop by, you'll find us covered in a bit of dirt or busy with the ledger books. We just want to grow things right and make sure it gets to people who appreciate it. It’s a slow life, but it’s ours.
