Hailing from a small village in Maharashtra’s Malegaon, Kamlesh and his idea of making the lives of farmers simpler is now winning hearts over the internet. 

Kamlesh made an appearance in one of the latest episodes of Shark Tank India with his cousin Naru. On the show, he pitched his designed concept of a pesticides spray solution that can ease the burden of farmers while preventing them from deadly diseases in front of 5 sharks - Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Vineeta Singh, Peyush Bansal, and Ghazal Alagh.

Besides the pesticide spraying cart, he also told the sharks about his other ideas that can be implemented in farms to boost the country’s agriculture. unique pesticide spray trolley can be used to sow seeds, and transport goods, he said on the show.  

According to Kamlesh, farmers are required to carry a tank of 18-20 litres of pesticide on their shoulders, a tiring job that could expose them to chemicals. But with his trolley, farmers can easily move around the farm, spraying pesticides without any trouble, he claimed. 

Moreover, his solution appears to be cost-effective and could eventually solve challenges that millions of farmers face in India, sharks aka investors noted on the reality TV show.
