Nikhil Bohra, Making Affordable Animal Food With Krimanshi

Nikhil Bohra is the Founder and CEO of Krimanshi which is a low-cost animal food company that uses locally accessible unconventional raw materials. They make nutrient, climate-resilient animal meals using alternate fibers, proteins, and lipids produced from organic food waste and agricultural leftovers. Cattle Mettle, which began by making low-cost cattle feed, intends to revitalize milk production among small and marginal farmers and turn it viable by lowering the cost of feeding cattle. In the next two to five years, they want to cut the cost of feeding cattle by half.

Nikhil is a Biotech Engineer who has studied the cultivation and harvesting of micro-algae as an alternative food source extensively. He has created a one-of-a-kind animal feed recipe for organically enhancing milk output. He has over 8 years of experience in programme administration, training, and monitoring and evaluation with NGOs and social entrepreneurs working in environmental conservation, nutrition, water, sanitation, and health under European Union, JICA, and World Bank projects.

Krimanshi’s presence in Rajasthan’s western districts allows it to serve its customers. In Rajasthan’s Jodhpur, Jaipur, Alwar, Dholpur, Ajmer, Pali, Nagaur, Bhilwara, and Barmer districts, and Gujarat’s Patan and Banaskantha districts, the startup is working with 250+ distributors/retailers and a network of FPOs and social enterprises to serve over 5,000 farmers and 20,000 cattle heads. Krimanshi Feeds has received a Rs 5 crore investment from the Rajasthan Venture Capital Fund (RVCF).
