Basudev Equifarm India Private Limited

You have to come up to the third floor of Krishi Bhawan to find us. We are on Vishal Nagar Road in the Telibandha area of Raipur. It’s a pretty busy part of the city. Being in an agricultural building means we see a lot of people from the farming community every day. Basudev Equifarm India Private Limited is our little operation where we try to keep things running. The office is full of files and old maps of the Chhattisgarh region. We don't have any fancy decorations. There’s a water cooler in the corner and a few desks that have seen better days. We spend a lot of time looking at the weather reports and talking to people about soil. Raipur is growing fast, but out here, we still focus on the basics of the land. The traffic on Telibandha road can be a nightmare during rush hour, so we usually get in early. We aren't a big corporation with hundreds of employees. It’s just a handful of us who know a bit about farming and business. We make mistakes sometimes, like forgetting to file a paper on time or missing a call, but we always try to fix it. Our work is mostly about coordinating between the farms and the markets. It’s a lot of phone calls and a lot of patience. We just do our bit and hope for a good season each year. We like the work we do here.
