Takachar is on a Mission to Transform Agriculture Globally
"Vidyut explained that his drive for launching Takachar and advancing clean tech started early, sharing, 'I grew up in New Delhi, and the city is known to have one of the worst air qualities in the world. You can see it around here right now, right? This is due to the open burning of agricultural waste here.
