Our Founders

Currently, he runs the company and heads finance and business development. Abhay enjoys playing a good game of badminton and loves petting his dogs. He completed his Master’s Degree in Polymer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay in 2014.
As a Co-Founder of Eeki, Amit has been the brain behind Eeki’s revolutionary technological achievements. He looks after farm operations and leads the R&D and engineering team to further advance our farming tech. Amit is a health enthusiast who enjoys spending time in greenery and with plants.

The name “Eeki” is inspired by the Japanese concept of “Ikigai,” which represents one’s true purpose in life. During a phase of self-discovery, our founders realized that their ikigai was to solve the long-standing challenges in farming and develop sustainable solutions. Hence, they chose the name “Eeki” for its simplicity of pronunciation and its potential for global recognition and understanding.
