Co-Founder & COO

The name “Eeki” is inspired by the Japanese concept of “Ikigai,” which represents one’s true purpose in life. During a phase of self-discovery, our founders realized that their ikigai was to solve the long-standing challenges in farming and develop sustainable solutions. Hence, they chose the name “Eeki” for its simplicity of pronunciation and its potential for global recognition and understanding.
