As per wiki:
Akshayakalpa was registered on October 2, 2010. However, the Genesis of Akshayakalpa dates to the years 2001 to 2009, where the Youva Chethna program led by Dr. G.N.S. Reddy from Bharatiya Agro Industries Foundation (BAIF) encouraged like-minded people from urban areas to contribute in cash and kind to train young people and women in need in rural regions to take up agriculture and farming as a vocation of choice.
Nine Techies, including Akshayakalpa co-founder and managing director Shashi Kumar and his friends Venkatesh Seshasayee, Ranjith Mukundan, Ravishankar Shiroor, Ramakrishna Adukuri, Praveen Nale, Giridhar Bhat, Ramkumar Iyer and Mohammed Ashraf, then working with Wipro Technologies, were some of the earliest contributors to the Youva Chethana Program.[5]
The idea of young people being trained to take up agriculture/farming as a vocation of choice was transformed into idea of rural entrepreneurship model under Akshayakalpa in the year 2010, when the above-mentioned techies seed funded Akshayakalpa in November the same year. The initiative was also crowdfunded by several other employees of Wipro Technologies. The main aim of Akshayakalpa is to resolve the dual issues of economic non-viability in dairy farming and agriculture, which is making farmers to either move away from farming or resort to unfair means such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides leading to poor-quality of food for the consumer and harmful side effects on health.
The founding team was known to defy corruption, which is rampant in Indian bureaucracy and refused to pay bribes at various levels while seeking clearances and licenses to begin operations.
The company works with the goal of enabling rural entrepreneurship and wealth creation among farmers in and around Tiptur, Arsikere, Channarayapatna, Chikkanayakana Halli, Kadur and Holenarasipura. The company is also planning to expand its operations in Chennai with an investment of over Rs 15 crores in next few years. The company aims to serve 10,000 households per day with fresh organic milk by March 2021 and add a range of dairy products to households across Chennai gradually.
