Whether say it a random choice or a matter of sensible decision, it was hard time for Ms. Sandeepa when she decided not to go abroad for her studies but to stay back and contribute to the society. The laurels of Ms. Sandeepa, a renowned name in the field of agriculture development, Chairman and Managing Director of Kan Biosys, and winner of WIPO Gold (2007) award as well as Acknowledge as outstanding invention award for her contribution to agriculture sector is sufficient to describe her.
Ms. Sandeepa had completed her MSC in industrial biology and was all set to go abroad for her further studies. It is a moment of joy which is experience by many of the lucky ones when their desire to go abroad and study in good university is fulfilled. Same joy was experienced by Ms. Sandeepa too. However that jo y was a bit short lived. Accompanying with one of the friend she confronted a job opportunity which demanded her love and dedication towards her own country. At one end was the flowery future which could have given her name and fame while at other end was a tough decision to stay back in India and contribute to society. Needless to say, she dropped her decision of going abroad and joined “Kumar Krishimitra Bio products Pvt. Ltd”.
Before 10-12 years the concept of agricultural productivity wa s not much developed in India. More over the environmental awareness and equipped knowledge amongst farmers was lacking. The uniqueness of “Kumar Krishimitra Bioproducts Pvt Ltd” was that it enabled land to give output in ratio of 1:10 which was otherwise used for giving 1:4 output, thereby giving multiplier effect to land to produce maximum. Lack of awareness amongst farmers about the concept itself was the challenge for Ms. Sandeepa to fight with as no farmers were initially ready to buy the products. However the demand of products was observant in the international market. Thus the organization started exporting the products to start up with business and raise initial funds. This is how the journey of Ms. Sandeepa started with the growth of organization pulling the organization to the heights of success with her dedication and hard work making a mark in the society.
The idea behind Kan biosys was "feed the soil and soils feeds back to you". Running on the lines of Israil which is known for its productivity of soil and with dreams of making India equally productive, the organization started with 20 lakhs initial investment and under the leadership of Ms. Sandeep today, the organization has grown multiple times. To date there are only 5 manufacturers of microbes in liquid form in the world and Kanbiosys is the only producers of liquid Azodobacter inoculants in the world the rest are producer of Rhizobium. Thus the technology was adjudged as the winner of “Outstanding Technology award” in 1999. The only regret that is left for Ms. Sandeep is that she was not able to gain international experience which might would have broaden her horizon to work.
