Dr Vikramkumar Naik
Co-Founder & Executive Chairman
Dr Naik’s conviction that agriculture, education, and healthcare are the pillars for Africa’s advancement has shaped AvaGro’s journey as a participant in socio-economic and environmental development on the continent.
With an ability to approach challenges and opportunities from his vantage point as a medical practitioner with deep roots in farming, Dr Naik is a catalyst for innovation, cross-pollination of ideas, and bringing about interconnectedness on the continent.
He generously shares his business acumen and experience with young entrepreneurs to help them realise their full potential and apply solutions that are derived from African principles. His approachable leadership style brings people together to build a transgenerational legacy that rests on the shoulders of new leaders who support a unifying ethos.
Thanks to Dr Naik, its visionary leaders, and the commitment of team members and partners, AvaGro turns ideas into results, transforms dreams into reality and turns challenges into opportunities.
“With passion and smart systems, we can turn average landscapes and even arid, unfriendly deserts into blooming and healthy plantations. AvaGro is uniquely poised in time, geography, and strategy to make a difference for people in Africa.”
