As my first job after my Masters in India, I joined ISAP as a Trainee in the Query Redress Service department. I worked in a project of One World South Asia, which redressed the queries from farmers across the country in the field of agriculture & allied sciences. Having the know-how of fertilisers and pesticides from my studies in Masters, I answered to the telephonic queries of the farmers across India. However, being good at communication, I was asked to help in organising one of their Buyer-Seller meetup. And thereafter was given the role of Coordinator-Market Linkage where my responsibility was to organise several of Buyer-Seller events, Agribusiness workshops & conferences. My tasks in that area included identifying the key stake holders in the industry, inviting the delegates, preparing the agenda of the event, inviting guests, organising the logistics of the event and final execution and follow-up later on.
