About Saravanan N

A techno-commercial professional with a focus on making a difference in my professional role as well as in the larger developmental ecosystem. With a proven track record of around 22 years exclusively in the seed sector, my customer-centric approach and farsightedness have propelled the companies I’ve worked with to emerge as market leaders in their respective arenas.My expertise in resource management in Agri-input industry has placed me in a unique position of being a relatable bridge between markets, farmers, and agri-enterprises. Deep understanding of Indian farming & farmers combined with multi-linguistic proficiency are my core strength.I would count my crisis-management skills to be one of my core strengths – not because I believe in troubleshooting, but because it gives me the opportunity to institute processes and systems that ensure a comprehensive and enduring solution, with mitigated impact on stakeholder groups.My journey with ‘seeds’ has been an eventful, learning experience – one that has helped me work on projects that elevate farming communities as equal partners in the sustainable agriculture ecosystem. I have been successful, working with governments, businesses, and farming communities to evaluate, select and monetize seed varieties and associated products that focus on green solutions that are viable and scalable.
