Incorporation of
Eeki Automation Private Limited
In pursuit of a cost-effective alternative to expensive methods of farming such as NFT and vertical farming, our founders decided to incorporate eeki.
By growing nutrient-dense vegetables through
sustainable means, we prioritize the health of both people and the planet.
Abhay co-founded Eeki in 2018 and envisioned tackling global challenges such as food scarcity, malnutrition, and climate change with Eeki. Currently, he runs the company and heads finance and business development. Abhay enjoys playing a good game of badminton and loves petting his dogs. He completed his Master’s Degree in Polymer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay in 2014.
As a Co-Founder of Eeki, Amit has been the brain behind Eeki’s revolutionary technological achievements. He looks after farm operations and leads the R&D and engineering team to further advance our farming tech. Amit is a health enthusiast who enjoys spending time in greenery and with plants. He completed his Master’s Degree in Polymer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay in 2014.
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.
At Eeki, we operate with sustainability and innovation as our core values. Through the development of vital technologies, we aim to solve pressing societal issues and create a lasting impact, not only for ourselves but also for future generations.
