Four years at Bijak: scaled fresh produce B2B from $10M to $124M ARR. Launched exports to Southeast Asia and Middle East. Cold chain, compliance, quality standards, all while growing domestic operations.
Before agritech? Retail. WINGREENS WORLD, Bestseller India, TK MAXX UK. Low-margin, high-volume environments where execution gaps show instantly. That foundation matters, both sectors need flawless operations and distribution networks that actually work.
At MandiGate: built the playbook. Full P&L, D2C and B2B scaling, market expansion. Now applying it at Kisaan Se Kitchen Tak.
2X LinkedIn Top Voice. "Chief Dad" in his headline. Executes. Shares insights. Doesn't take himself too seriously.
India's agritech: $24B by 2025. Most startups fail, heavy on tech, light on operations. Akash brings the opposite: operational depth from retail, proven in agritech.
Kisaan Se Kitchen Tak mission (Farmer to Kitchen) needs exactly what he delivers: supply chains, scaled channels, profitable growth.
At Boardroom CXO, we're seeing agritech companies prioritize operators with retail and supply chain backgrounds over pure tech executives. When margins are thin, execution expertise trumps vision.
We run an invite-only CXO community with weekly networking and peer learning sessions where agritech leaders discuss scaling operations and building supply chains. Interested? DM us.
