India’s dairy industry is one of the largest in the world, yet for millions of farmers, the system remains broken. Middlemen control pricing, transparency is scarce, and technology rarely reaches the grassroots. In this episode, Amit Baban Chavan, founder of AVN Agrobharat Pvt. Ltd., shares how his agrotech startup is reengineering one of India’s oldest industries using data, IoT, and digital transparency.
From tackling milk adulteration and cooperative inefficiencies to empowering farmers with fair pricing and real-time analytics, Amit reveals the journey of transforming agriculture into agri-innovation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why India’s dairy supply chain needed a digital revolution
How AVN Agrobharat is building trust between farmers, cooperatives, and consumers
The role of IoT, data, and automation in improving milk quality
Why innovation in agriculture isn’t just about tech, it’s about people
How a farmer-first model can still be profitable in the digital age

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
