Dev Agro Biotech India

Out here in Chikhlee, on the 15th Main, 60th Feet Road at number 10, is where Dev Agro Biotech India is based. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, but there’s more space for what we do. We have a mix of office space and a small lab area where we look at seeds and soil samples. It’s not like a high-tech movie lab; it’s mostly just microscopes, some glass jars, and a lot of notebooks filled with handwriting. We spend a lot of time looking at how things grow and talking to farmers who come by with questions. The building is a simple two-story structure with a flat roof where we sometimes dry out materials. It gets dusty because of the road work nearby, so we are always dusting off the shelves. We have a small team of four people. One handles the accounts, and the rest of us are usually messing around with plant samples or out in the field. We don't have a big marketing budget or glossy brochures. Most of our work comes from people knowing that we’ve been in Chikhlee for a long time. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the weather since that’s what matters most in our line of work. Sometimes the internet is slow, which makes sending reports a bit of a hassle, but we manage. It’s just us doing our bit for the local agriculture.
