Pratap Reddy, 27, a young farmer and BTech graduate, started with an investment of Rs 5,000, which he’s now turned into roughly Rs 1.6 lakh. After graduating in 2014, he took up a job as an executive in a private company. But he ultimately left that job and returned to his home in Modegaon to turn to farming. Prathap's father is also a farmer and owns more than five acres of farmland, so he began working on the farm and even sold vegetables in the local market.
