Ever wondered how fresh are those fruits and vegetables in your nearby Sabzi Mandi? Considering the fact that they go through a chain of wholesale & retail ecosystem, it’s safe to say that they take at least three days to reach the market and by the time consumers consume it, the freshness is gone. To quell this rotten scenario by delivering genuinely farm fresh, chemical-free and hygienic products everyday directly to customers, Organic Tapovana was setup in 2010 by Jaiganesh C.(Founder), who left his bright IT career to pursue his passion for organic farming.

Throwing more light on inception story, Jaiganesh says, “During my job, I visited US and saw organic products in Walmart for first time which was costlier than conventional items. I immediately Googled about it and researched about the displayed information including penetration of chemicals & pesticides in India & suicide of farmers, which not just shocked me but also inspired me to do farming.” Later, on return back to India, Jaiganesh along with his brother received training and started doing organic farming in their own land that was previously used by his father for his commercial cultivation.

Initially, the duo shared products only with their close friends/relatives and sold them from their home. But with the steadily increasing demand for their products,

Jaiganesh established Tapovana in 2009. Thanks to the duo’s dedication& professionalism, the company today has earned a stellar reputation for its genuine taste & rich nutrition values and supplies its fresh produce to 35 organic shops across Chennai. In fact, the firm has received numerous testimonials wherein its quality is lauded by customers who have used its products for at least fourth months and sensed the difference.
