Our story

A promise that began with my father

In 1975, my father, Ashok Kumar Garg, started Vandana Fertilisers to serve the farmers of Hisar.

In 1988 he moved into seed. He believed seed is the most important input in farming, yet nobody was paying attention to its quality.

We lost him in 1993. His belief, that seed quality decides a farmer's season, guides me every day.

Eight generations in Hisar. One purpose: the farmer.

Eight generations of roots

My family has lived in Hisar for eight generations, and our roots have always been in farming.

Every job, done myself

Orders, collections, field visits, kisan melas: I have done every job in the seed business. I was both the peon and the CEO.

The problem I care about

Seed quality gets ignored, and shortcuts hurt farming families. That is what I want to change.

17+ years in seed. Built on a word kept.

A word is a word
