Founded by two childhood friends, Ramkumar Krishnamachari and
Kaushik Mukherji, Bhoomi Crop was born in 2009. 200 kilometers
away from Calcutta, close to Kalaikunda air base, the first farm
of papaya and hand-picked inter-crops were raised in Kharagpur.
After an unfortunate series of elephant intrusions, this leased
farm had to be surrendered. Many years later, the new farm was
setup in Bangalore. We began hydroponic farming, with one
polyhouse of an acre.
Today, we have multiple platforms in Bangalore combining NFT
tables, cocopeat and a patented global-first, own designed
UpVerd system of vertical farming. Bhoomi Crop is one of the
leaders in hydroponics today;
we aim to be in the top five hydroponic farms globally, in
two years. Our aim is to keep INNOVATION in the heart of what
we do and bring about ‘QUANTUM JUMP” and unheard of
efficiencies in production systems under protected farming
methods globally.
Come, see our farms, taste our produce and you will discover our
edge over others. Production innovation is our middle name. We
strive to grow in absolutely unseen, unheard methods and this
gives us an advantage of scale and quality. We welcome you to
our farms; call us and book a time for a farm tour. Cheers!
Imagined by Tridibesh Sanyal, an advertising creative director par excellence, our logo is a story. Tridibesh is the man who created legendary advertising communication, namely the unforgettable Aramusk soap's launch. Many more, over the years he has too. This logo, or the philosophy of Bhoomi Crop, according to him, will be a confluence of man and nature. You see the crown of a tree, resembling a thumb print (man) and the trunk of a tree, nature; we, at bhoomi crop, in everything we do, we do it UNITED with nature. You look at our global first, UpVerd hydroponic patented system or the many more in development, it's always an attempt to marry nature & our intellect.
Bhoomi Crop has the world's highest producing hydroponic production system. Provisionally patented in April 2022, UpVerd, is a fantastic combination of green technology and farming. One acre of UpVerd production system, can, hold your breath, can produce what you can in 200+ acres of open land. Yes! Mind you, UpVerd, if we want, CAN even touch three hundred acres of open field output. Caveat: you gotta see leafy greens as your choice of crops.
Ramkumar Krishnamachari is a well-known name in the
Indian world of finance. A rank holder in many professional
degrees, he is as much a sportsman, a CFO of eminence, as he
is the founder of Bhoomi Crop along with Kaushik. His
corporate innings is well spread; he has worked in the USA and
in India. His last role, before hanging up his boots in the
corporate world, was that of a CFO of Just Dial, which he
helped go public before he turned into an angel investor and
an entrepreneur now. A top-class marathoner, still an
attacking batsman & bowler, Ramkumar is a combination of
Indian tradition with modernism. He is actively involved in
various philanthropic activities and mentors multiple startups
across India. He is a proponent of "Responsible/Dharmic"
capitalism. Ramkumar & his wife live in Bangalore.
Kaushik Mukherji, is an ex-advertising and
communications professional. A Calcutta university graduate,
Kaushik spent almost three decades chasing his advertising and
integrated communications rainbow. Fairly well rewarded for
his intrusive works, Kaushik holds a few firsts to his name;
the first Indian on the Marketing & Advertising Awards jury,
Vegas; the youngest Asian on the PMAA jury; the winner of
three successive years top awards in PMAA and some more.
Kaushik became a CXO level executive before he turned 30. He
has been a principal advisor to multiple state governments on
their tourism & branding strategy. He has helped create
multiple tourism assets in India. He quit the corporate world,
when he was at his peak, at 39; because he dreamt a dream of a
farm like never before! He teaches in business schools, when
time permits. Today, after almost 14 years since he began
farming, Kaushik is as passionate about farming, innovations
in production, as he is about flying kites, music & cooking.
