After agriculture education and working for 25+ years in corporate sector dealing in agro commodities and their supply chain across the world, realized that commodities are losing taste and flavor which we used to have during our childhood, Prompted us to look for reasons and found that High yielding varieties and hybrids have replaced old ones and further nutrition profile has also changed leading to micronutrient deficiencies in the population like zinc and iron. This gave a business idea of establishing platform for connecting customers with GI tagged varieties growing across different agroclimatic zones That is how Simply Naturals was initiated
