Soil of Success: From a bank clerk to founder of India's largest agri enterprise, journey of Anil Kumar SG

From a banking clerk to the founder of Samunnati, India’s largest agri-enterprise, Anil Kumar SG's trajectory is an inspiring pivot. Kumar started his career at a bank counter, but soon realised there was more he had to do. After seeing that farmers, the backbone of India’s economy, were denied formal credit due to a lack of collateral and institutional backing, he decided to bring about structural transformation in India's agricultural system. This fueled the establishment of Samunnati. The enterprise moved far beyond the narrow scope of financial inclusion, aiming instead to be a comprehensive enabler of the entire agri-value chain.
