Hence, we named our startup AgriVijay, which was officially registered on June 25, 2020. Our vision is to make agriculture win with renewable energy. “Vijay, in Hindi, means winning and farmers should feel the connect with our Indian company. Panjwani wishes that farmers and everybody else in the ecosystem wins. AgriVijay was born as an idea,” Panjwani said. So, we decided why not open a marketplace of renewable energy where we will understand the energy needs of farmers and help them increase savings and income and we will also mitigate the climate change issue which is need of the hour. “I came up with an idea that farmers still struggle to get renewable energy products at the village level – whether you talk about solar, biogas, electric, wind or hydro farmers don’t have knowledge about the product and they don’t get it at village level. She was ready to invest all her funds and we thought let’s work on this.” I was passionate for farmers and climate change and renewable energy.

She asked me why I didn’t start my own company instead of building it for others? I was never inclined to become an entrepreneur, but she pushed me to become one. Says Panjwani, “I was at home with my mom, Shobha Chanchlani, a retired government employee from Rajasthan, when she said I can’t sit idle at home and want to do something in life. While he was thinking of switching his role after quitting his job in February 2020, Covid happened and Panjwani was left clueless. Panjwani has a decade of experience working in different multinational companies.

With a vision focussed on increasing farmer savings and incomes, reducing dependency on fossil fuels such as diesel and firewood, along with contributing to the climate change mitigation, AgriVijay is “empowering farmers for tomorrow” with renewable energy products in solar, biogas, and electricity.Ī BTech in Bioinformatics and with an MBA in Agribusiness Management from Symbiosis Institute of International Business (SIIB) in Pune, Vimal Panjwani never thought that he would have his own startup, that too amidst a Covid-19 outbreak.

AgriVijay, a Pune-based agritech startup founded by Vimal Panjwani and Shobha Chanchlani, in the midst of the Covid outbreak back in June 2020, has developed a marketplace for renewable energy products connecting farmers and rural households.
