Krishi Jagran, India’s leading agriculture media network, proudly announces the launch of Agri Icons: 40 Under 40- Shaping the Future Awards, a national recognition platform that celebrates the most impactful and inspiring young leaders shaping the future of Indian agriculture.
Set to become one of the most prestigious honors in the agri domain, the 'Agri Icons: 40 Under 40' will spotlight entrepreneurs, technologists, sustainability champions, policy advocates, scientists, and farmer-leaders — all under the age of 40 — who are driving innovation, inclusion, and impact across India’s food and farm ecosystem.
“Today’s young agri-leaders are not just farming — they’re building businesses, creating technologies, leading FPOs, and solving climate and market challenges,” said MC Dominic, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Krishi Jagran. “Agri Icons: 40 Under 40 aims to honor their vision and accelerate their journey.”
