Inspired by his grandfather’s vision of resuscitating his farm, Sachin Kale left his highpaying corporate job, to help the farmers reap the benefits of contract farming and new technologies

We either ignore or make fun of the advice given to us by our seniors, especially grandparents. We feel that they know nothing about the modern era and the aspirations of the younger generation. Some like Sachin Kale, however, not only listen to them but also make it their life purpose to walk on the path shown by them. And the result is beyond describable.
He says, “My late grandfather is my greatest inspiration, He would often tell me how one could survive without money but not food, and if one knew the art of growing one’s own food, one could survive in any condition.” He would take Sachin to their 25-acre ancestral land and talk about his dream of turning it into a fertile farm someday.
Sachin's grandfather also taught him the important lesson of ensuring that the labourers earned more than their previous wages to avoid the loss of manpower.
Degrees galore
In the meantime, Sachin completed his mechanical engineering from REC, Nagpur (now called VRCE) in 2000. This was followed by an MBA in finance and a degree in law. He started his career by working for a power plant and rapidly rose to the top in a few years. In 2007, he started his PhD in developmental economics. As he delved deeply into the subject he began to think about the path he had chosen. Thoughts like why he was working for someone else and not fulfilling his grandfather’s dream began to haunt his mind.
