Patwardhan Agro Farms

Patwardhan Agro Farms shares space over at Plot No U/28 in Narendra Nagar, Nagpur. It’s a busy spot because we have a lot going on at once. We deal with farm-related things, which means we spend a lot of time thinking about soil and crops and how things grow. The office isn't much to look at, just a few desks and some shelves full of records and samples. We spend a lot of our time out and about, but this is where the main planning happens. My father used to say that farming is more about patience than anything else, and we try to remember that here. We aren't trying to be some high-tech startup. We just use what we know to help things grow better. Sometimes the rain doesn't come when we want it to, or the seeds don't act right, but we just keep trying. It’s a lot of physical work and sometimes we go home covered in dirt. That’s just part of the job. People around Nagpur know where to find us if they need advice or supplies. We don't have a big advertising budget. We mostly just talk to people at the local markets or over the phone. It’s an honest living and we like it that way. The fans in the office hum all day to keep the heat away while we work. It’s just us doing our thing.
