Company Name: Nisargam Private Limited
My journey starts at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad with the support of BIRAC (Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council) under the scheme UIC. Under this scheme, I worked as a BIRAC Innovation fellow from 2016-2019 at UAS, Dharwad, and developed a unique foliar fertilizer for Ashwagandha to enhance withanolides content.
