Dear Friends and Students
Honestly, I am tired of hearing Sorrowful Incidents, Sad Moments, and Fear-Mongering Stories for the last couple of weeks happening to my family, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers. We all need to understand we are here not to just win one battle but we need to win the Battle of Battles. While we need to overcome this pandemic, parallel we also need to worry about starvation, malnutrition, prolonged unemployment, non-corona health issues, Continuity of Education, and Upholding Employability, and so on! Winning over Battle of Battles is more important than winning over a battle! Hope you understand!
Opportunity creation and Opportunity utilization are the need of the hour to the Youth today. They need to be motivated with a few real-time examples. The Story of Kishore Indukuri, Founder, Sid’s Farm is definitely one good motivational story.
Kishore Indukuri, did his B.S. in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1996-2000), M.S. in Polymer Science & Engineering from University of Massachusetts (2000-2001), and Ph.D. in Polymer Science & Engineering from the University of Massachusetts (2005). His Dissertation titled " Deformational characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers".
Worked 6 years in Intel and then moved to India to start Sid’s Farm in the Year 2012. Kishore has a lot of passion for Sustainable Agriculture and Dairy Farming (www.sidsfarm.com/who.html). It is started in the name of his son Siddharth. The tag line says “We Care”: “We are a small, niche dairy farm based out of Hyderabad. We pride ourselves in providing truly natural and healthy wholesome food to families around us.” They do an average of 400-500 tests daily on the milk just to ensure customers receive the best quality milk. The tested milk is then pasteurized and chilled and delivered to the customer right the very next day so its freshness is intact.
They started with 20 cows in Oct 2012 at Shamshabad, Hyderabad, and today the brand value is 44 cr revenue. It has a total of 120-employees and delivers milk to over 10,000 customers daily! They sell through a subscription model and through the mobile app. It is available on swiggy, Amazon, etc. The total investment was more than 4 crores and now they want to expand to other districts of Telangana and Bangalore.
The interesting part of this business is School Tour! Totally Edutainment program. Sid's farm invites school children and individual families for a discovery tour at the farm!! You may book for a tour!!
Alternative Careers!! Inspire!!!
Your Well-wisher
