Devi Murthy is an accomplished entrepreneur who returned to India after completing her graduation from Drexel University in 2008. Upon her return, she joined her family business, which specializes in sheet metal fabrications. Over a span of four years, she led the product development and business development teams, contributing to the creation of over 200 products and securing clients such as Ashok Leyland.
During her travels across Karnataka, Devi identified a significant gap in the availability of affordable precision farm machinery, particularly for small and marginal farmers. This realization, combined with insights gathered from extensive conversations with farmers about their mechanization challenges, inspired her to leverage her expertise in metalworking to develop practical solutions tailored to their needs.
In 2013, Devi founded **Kamal Kisan**, an innovative agritech company focused on designing and manufacturing cost-effective, precision farming equipment. Kamal Kisan’s mission is to empower small and marginal farmers by providing them with affordable tools that enhance productivity and sustainability in agriculture. Under her leadership, Kamal Kisan has developed a range of products that have positively impacted the agricultural sector by addressing the specific needs of smallholder farmers in India.
