”In my lifetime, I have seen the Vaigai go from a perennial river often overflowing its banks to a dry river. As someone who has seen women in my village walk miles to fetch drinking water, this hurts me and moves me to act on saving our waterways. In Janani’s work, especially in the soil & water labs, I see the possibility of building the next generation of sustainable businesses focused on regenerative water."

VP, Tyton Partners

”Krishi Janani stands out by looking to leverage age-old practices in an industry that has seen diminishing returns and farmers leaving their profession despite "technological advances.” As someone that comes from a lineage of farmers from Tamil Nadu, this mission and also potential for growth stands out to me as a good investment in our food and the people that provide it but also in a sub-industry that has generally been forgotten.”

”Krishi Janani has the vision and operational resilience that allows meaningful growth to be both the spread of invisible roots and the blossom of beautiful canopies. In a world where innovation often chases shiny new objects, and impact can be buried in data bureaucracy, we need more companies like KJ to establish nodes of connections in regenerative practices.”

”My family is from a farming background, and our farm is on a rain shadow area, receiving minimal rainfall. Easy falling prey to drought every other year, borewells are going deeper and deeper.
