Success Story of Kaushik Baruah

In his pursuit, Kaushik found inspiration in the idea of not only consuming foreign goods but also contributing to the global market with products from his homeland.

Armed with newfound knowledge, Kaushik has evolved into a successful entrepreneur today, producing and exporting a variety of fruits and vegetables grown through sustainable practices. The attached photos showcase some of the products he exports.
