These weren't just technological shifts; they were turning points for entire communities. Now at Zydex, he's leading the next chapter of innovation: making organic or chemical- free farming viable from the very first crop cycle. One of the most meaningful projects under his watch has been a pilot initiative in Gujarat. Spread across 300 acres, it delivered: • A 25 - 30% reduction in fertilizer usage • Up to 25% increase in net farmer profit • A jump in soil organic carbon from 0.2% to 0.3% within just 18 months But for Dr. Shailendra, the most rewarding outcome wasn't just in the metrics—it was in the mindset. Farmers began engaging in conversations around soil microbes, composting, and ecological resilience. Witnessing this cultural shift — a transformation in how farmers relate to the land and their practices — is what he considers a true measure of leadership. 012 013 www.businessmindsmedia.in www.businessmindsmedia.in
