Welcome to The Future of Agri-Food Supply Chain by me, Sachin Shende. I am a technology entrepreneur, start-up advisor on a mission to optimise the agri-food supply chain and make it sustainable using digital tools.

I co-founded and built the agri-tech startup, KisanHub. In April 2021, I started 1Point5 Technologies, a strategic consulting firm and a software solution provider to:

• Help businesses accelerate the digital transformation; 

• Help businesses improve efficiency; and 

• Make the food supply chains fully transparent and sustainable.

I have learnt things by doing and listening to other talented entrepreneurs. Have a well rounded experience in building and scaling a start-up. My previous background is in software engineering and have conceptualised and built complex software platforms, spent a number of years in data engineering, and software products. Have built technology and business teams, raised money from institutional and high net worth investors,  developed/managed commercial relationships and sales.

I understand the complexities of the technology implementation, data silos in the agri-food supply chains, software-hardware integration and challenges in using the data to surface insights for the decision making process to improve business margins. 

Have made tons of mistakes in scaling the technology startup. I hope to share those valuable lessons here with other like minded people.
