Core Team
The passionate individuals building the future of cities
Tejas M K
Founder & CEO
A mechatronics engineer turned climate-tech rebel, Tejas leads Farmience with a deep obsession for systems thinking and urban self-sustenance. He's the one who won't shut up about decentralization and believes farming should be as local as your corner chai shop. He’s spent 2 years in deep tech, product dev, and grassroots execution — and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, literally.
Lalithesh K
Co-Founder & CTO
Lalith is the mechanical genius and maker-in-chief at Farmience. If it’s tangible, movable, or buildable, he's probably already prototyped it. With a background in fabrication, CAD, and IoT integration, he brings real-world hardware to life — turning rooftops into high-tech farms.
Pragati Prithvi
COO
Pragati is the anchor that keeps Farmience’s gears moving. With a background in electronics and a knack for PCB design and process streamlining, she bridges the gap between engineering and execution. She’s also the team’s resident quality enforcer, ensuring every hub meets the Farmience standard.
Aditya M N
AI & Vision Engineer
Aditya is the mind behind FarmienceOS — the AI brain that tells your spinach when to grow and how much to smile. With experience in ML, computer vision, and data modeling, he makes precision agriculture actually precise. He’s published, peer-reviewed, and practically lives in tensorboards.
Sharish K A
Firmware Engineer
Sharish brings microcontrollers to life — whether it’s optimizing sensor readings or syncing control modules in real-time, he writes the code that breathes intelligence into our farm units. From bare-metal to RTOS, he’s the firmware ninja who quietly keeps the ecosystem ticking.
Our Advisors
Industry experts guiding our journey
Srivathsan R
Technology Advisor
A Chemical Engineering graduate from Anna University and holds a Master’s in Industrial Engineering from IIT Madras. With decades of experience in industrial chemicals, hydroponics, biofuels, and carbon capture, he stands for Aatmanirbhar Bharat, import substitution, and the circular economy. At Farmience, he advises on sustainable tech with a focus on impact, feasibility, and innovation.
Life at Farmience
We believe great work happens when people feel valued and inspired
End-to-End Ownership
We design, build, test, and refine every component ourselves—because true innovation requires full ownership of the process.
Clarity Through Conversations
Ideas flow best when we create space for deep thought, healthy debate, and shared reflection—often over a cup of chai.
Collaborative, Not Hierarchical
We operate on trust, accountability, and shared purpose. Roles matter more than titles, and contribution defines leadership.
Learning as a Core Value
We prioritize curiosity, adaptability, and self-improvement. Growth isn’t a perk—it’s a non-negotiable.
Grounded Beginnings
We started in a garage, not a boardroom. It's a reminder that meaningful work doesn’t need permission—just purpose.
A Culture That Evolves
From wellness initiatives to fresh produce and learning support, we’re building a work environment that grows with our people.
