About The Founder

Kaushlendra

I spent my life in Patna without having a single penny in my pocket for several days. That was the period when everybody laughed at me and used to make fun of me", recounted Kaushlendra, "Moreover, I had been deemed as a failure. At one point, I was making commitments without knowing how to fulfil them. But I always knew that in the end everything would fall in place."And that is the belief that has carried Kaushlendra to the giddy heights of the entrepreneur world. His venture, the Kaushalya Foundation, established in 2007, focuses on mobilizing and organizing the informal, fragmented vegetable sector. The Foundation primarily targets poor vegetable growers as well as the vendors and the farm hands from the state of Bihar. Show More
