Trio entrepreneurs were enjoying their high-flying careers with their fantastic academic credentials.

At Bioprime, their goal is to make agriculture more sustainable by using environmentally friendly chemistry and cutting-edge technology. Trio entrepreneurs built a successful business worth $7.97M as of May 22, 2023, generating ₹3.39Cr ($422K) as of March 31, 2023. Let’s begin the story of Bioprime Agri Solution Pvt. Ltd.

Founders at Bioprime Agri Solutions:

Bioprime Agri Solutions Pvt. Ltd. was founded by three researchers, Dr. Renuka Diwan, Dr. Shekhar Bhosle, and Dr. Amit Shinde, who are committed to using advanced technology to revolutionize agriculture in India and around the world. Driven by this vision, they are working tirelessly at Bioprime to make it a reality.

At Bioprime, with their strong background, the trio entrepreneurs were enjoying their high-flying career, but rather than ignoring the issue, they left their conventional path behind and combined their expertise to make biochemistry work for the betterment of nature & human life.

Bioprime’s journey begins:

Many times people listen and discuss problems like low crop production, crop loss from climate change, and farmers losing confidence; however, most of them often overlook them. But these trio entrepreneurs didn’t do like this. Rather than overlooking these issues, they were resolved to find answers to the questions. This is how Bioprime's journey started.

Concept to Creation: Bioprime Agri Solution

Now, the concept was clear in the trio entrepreneurs’s minds. Soon, they developed a solution called Bioprime. In 2016, Dr. Renuka Diwan, Dr. Shekhar Bhosle, and Dr. Amit Shinde founded Bioprime Agri Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a platform that is redefining agriculture and transforming lives.

Bioprime Agri Solution Pvt. Ltd.

This AgBiotech startup develops innovative, affordable products for farming, gardening, and flower growing so that farmers can enhance soil, crop, and water management. Their products not only promote sustainable farming practices but also nourish both people and planet, aiming for a better future.

Bioprime works on improving crop resistance to climate change using specially designed biomolecules. These biomolecules help plants grow faster and more reliably by affecting important processes in their biology, leading to better crop yields. The technology can be used with all types of crops and farming methods.

With their strong academic backgrounds and expertise, they could have easily pursued successful, high-flying careers. However, instead of taking the easier route, they embraced a more challenging path. Their hard work paid off, and they built a multi-million-dollar company, generating ₹3.39 Cr ($422K) in revenue as of March 31, 2023.

Hats off to trio entrepreneurs for leaving their easy path behind and choosing a challenging one!
