Abhay Singh and Amit Kumar have been friends from their first week at IIT-Bombay in 2009. They started Eeki Foods in 2018, and, for the first three years, focussed their efforts on researching and developing their own version of hydroponics, on a 10,000 sq ft plot. They’re now in the process of scaling from five acres currently to 40 acres in a couple of months, and 200 acres by the end of the year.
