    In this episode of businessline’s Agrispective Podcast, host Subramani M R speaks with Pinakin Simaria, Head – Agribusiness Group at Kotak Mahindra Bank, on the rapid evolution of India’s agricultural cold storage and post-harvest infrastructure. India’s cold storage capacity has crossed 39 million tonnes, with utilisation levels rising sharply in recent years. While potatoes continue to dominate storage, facilities are increasingly being expanded for fruits, vegetables, seafood, dairy, and high-value processed crops. How is this growing cold storage network helping farmers reduce post-harvest losses and secure better price realisation? The conversation examines regional demand trends across coastal Andhra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and other key belts, along with the impact of government schemes, financing support from banks, technological advancements, and expectations from the Union Budget on the future of India’s cold chain ecosystem.

    Inside the climate workforce revolution: Why farmers must be at the centre | Agrispective | EP 04
    Nov 29 2025
    This episode looks at the fast-moving climate workforce revolution and what it means for agriculture. Subramani Ra Mancombu speaks with Amit Banka, founder and chief executive of WeNaturalists, about how climate action has shifted from boardrooms to community-led movements across the world. Banka explains why the past decade has seen rapid awareness and participation, especially among young people, and why meaningful progress depends on empowering communities at the grassroots rather than relying on policy alone.The conversation explores how climate initiatives are playing out on farms in India and abroad. While regions with large land holdings have adopted precision and regenerative farming at scale, India faces the complexity of small and fragmented farms. Banka highlights why access to weather intelligence and on-the-ground support can make a direct difference to crop patterns and farmers’ income. The discussion centres around common perceptions about climate leadership. From mangrove conservation groups in India to climate tech innovators in Kenya, action is emerging far beyond traditional institutions — provided resources reach the right hands. Listen in!
