About Eeki:
In 2018, two IIT-B graduates, Abhay and Amit, recognized that access to high-quality vegetables is still a major issue in our society. They began their journey by starting a small rooftop poly house for preliminary research and testing. Now, at eeki, we are creating a sustainable farming method that will benefit society for decades to come. Our vision is to make pesticide-free vegetables affordable and easily accessible to everyone. To achieve this, we are innovating sustainable growing technology that allows for the low-cost production of high-quality vegetables.
We have set up large-scale, climate-proof farms equipped with our proprietary growing chambers that do not use any growing media or pesticides to grow high-quality vegetables. These vegetables are tasty, nutritious, pesticide-free, and affordable for the general public. We are a team of over 400+ like-minded individuals working towards a shared vision and are looking for more individuals to join us in this revolution.
