Omkar Singh, a young agri-entrepreneur from Bihar, transformed his passion for farming into a scalable business model by founding DelyFresh Farm Tech Pvt. Ltd. With a background in B.Tech and specialized training in Meat Processing & Value Addition from ICAR-NDRI, he built expertise in livestock and supply chain management. Starting with marginal poultry and goat farmers who owned only a few birds and goats, Omkar created a farm-to-fork ecosystem that provided them with feed, natural grass, veterinary services, advisory on government schemes, and assured market linkages. Under his leadership, farmers scaled their flocks significantly, incomes improved, and consumers began receiving safe, traceable meat products. Today, Omkar collaborates with institutions like the Bihar Entrepreneurs Association and Bihar Agricultural University, driving innovation in meat processing and goat farming. His journey from a grassroots idea to leading a company serving 10,000+ farmers and served more than 50000 customers stands as an inspiration for rural entrepreneurship and sustainable agri-business.
