Nitin Puri, Co-Founder of KisaanSay, said “I am super excited to welcome Jungle to the KisaanSay family. From the time we signed the term sheet to the time this transaction was consummated, Amit and RIshab have been extremely helpful in helping us navigate the journey, and now that they are formally in, we are doubly delighted to have them on board. Vaishali, Manoj, and I are very positive about the intent and expertise of Team Jungle to steer us through our Idea to IPO journey.”

Rishab Malik, Partner, Seed Investments, said, “KisaanSay is addressing a fundamental gap in India’s food supply chain by creating a direct and equitable link between farmers and consumers. India also lacks a provenance-based consumer brand that brings authentic, pure, and high-quality products from different regions where these products are best grown. What stood out to us was the team’s ability to align purpose with scale, building a model that delivers value to both sides of the ecosystem.”
