Inspirational Stories: Most individuals in India seek to engineers and MBA graduates for high-paying positions. A farmer by the name of Pramod Gautam abandoned this field to produce police officers and became India’s richest farmer, despite the fact that IIT and IIM graduates make up the majority of the highest paid workers in the nation. One of the most extraordinary success stories is that of Pramod Gautam from Maharashtra, who went from being an engineer to becoming the richest farmer in India, earning more than the majority of IIT and IIM graduates and even CEOs of major corporations.
From Engineer to Innovative Farmer and Entrepreneur
Despite earning a sizable salary as an automobile engineer at a major MNC, Pramod Gautam never felt satisfied in his position. With 26 acres of property to his name, Gautam made the decision to quit his profession and pursue a career as a farmer and entrepreneur. The engineer turned entrepreneur opted to study horticulture, which is the art of growing fruits and vegetables inside a greenhouse while utilising fantastic technology and techniques, rather than adhering to traditional farming. Starting off modestly, Gautam only farmed moongfali (peanuts) and haldi (turmeric) at first. Not expecting to make much money, he decided to plant moong dal. His brand of moong dal didn’t take a lot of exertion and was unrefined and unadulterated.
A Farmer’s Journey to Becoming India’s Richest Farmer
As his business prospered and gained notoriety in Nagpur, Maharashtra, Pramod Gautam soon launched his own dal brand, Vandana Foods, which offers several kinds of pulses and grains. His brand of packed grain is currently offered for sale on Amazon and Flipkart in the entire nation. Pramod is the richest farmer in the entire nation thanks to his revenue of about Rs 1 crore annually and a salary of Rs 10–12 lakh per month, which is higher than that of many IIT and IIM graduates.
