Aayush Thakur Email & Phone Number

I’m an entrepreneur with a strong foundation in business, agribusiness, and development. My journey began with a deep interest in commerce, which led me to pursue a B.Com (Hons) degree at Shoolini University. Early in my college career, I won third prize at the Himachal Yatra in the 2018 Startup India competition, solidifying my passion for entrepreneurship.During my studies, I secured various internships with Shivalik Bimetals, KAMG Kisan, and Ninjacart, a leading agribusiness firm, where I became the highest-paid intern of my batch. Working in rural settings, I contributed to the company's expansion and honed my decision-making skills.I then ventured into the hospitality industry, opening a restaurant in Solan. Although the restaurant thrived for two years, it was ultimately closed due to the impact of COVID-19. This experience taught me resilience and adaptability.After graduating, I founded and became the CEO of SOL 360 Farmers Producer Company, an FPO under a CSS project by the Government of India’s Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer's Welfare. Here, I focused on empowering farmers and enhancing their livelihoods.Currently, I am pursuing an MA in Development Studies at TISS, Mumbai (2024-2026), where I aim to deepen my understanding of the development sector and contribute to sustainable change.I’m passionate about business development, agribusiness, and creating value for the communities I work with. I’m always looking for new opportunities to innovate and make a positive impact.
