Empowering Local Entrepreneurs | ACIC KL Startups Foundation Outreach Visit

On 27th May 2025, the team from ACIC KL Startups Foundation conducted an outreach visit to Kunchnapalli, Andhra Pradesh, to connect with one of the region’s inspiring natural farming entrepreneurs — Mr. Arumalla Sambhi Reddy Garu, Founder of ASR Natural Farms.

Mr. Sambhi Reddy, who began his journey in 2010, has cultivated a remarkable success story in natural farming. Today, his farm proudly grows 30+ varieties of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens, all nurtured with organic and sustainable practices. He has built a strong and loyal customer base of over 2,500 clients, serving them exclusively through online platforms.
Our Technical & Outreach Manager, Mr. K. Nageshwara Rao Garu, had an insightful interaction with Mr. Sambhi Reddy about his self-grown produce and sustainable farming techniques. The ACIC team also toured the farm, gaining valuable knowledge and firsthand exposure to organic farming practices.

One exciting highlight from the visit: Mr. Sambhi Reddy expressed his openness to hosting student internships at his farm — a wonderful opportunity for young minds interested in natural agriculture, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

This visit added great value to our outreach efforts, offering inspiration and learnings for both the ACIC team and the wider startup ecosystem.
🤝 We look forward to fostering more such impactful connections and learning journeys.
