Silk agritech startup reshamandi streamlines production from farm to store
The HinduSilk occupies a prime position in our country’s sartorial profile. We are trying to change this by using quality as the benchmark for not just pricing, but also production,” says Mayank Tiwari, founder and CEO of the silk agritech startup ReshaMandi, based in Bengaluru. Precision agriculture ReshaMandi’s joint venture with Bengaluru-based agritech company Fasal in Karnataka aims to take the guesswork out of mulberry cultivation specifically to reduce water wastage, while increasing the leaf yield significantly. Earlier, with 200 DFL chawki, Raghu could expect to get around 200 kilograms of silk; with ReshaMandi’s farming advisory, this has risen to 230-235 kilograms this year, he says. We also advise farmers to use organic fertilisers to avoid pests and diseases in mulberry cultivation.” Diversity required Silk has many uses beyond just luxurious garments, says ReshaMandi founder Tiwari.
