Our focus at @RainmatterOrg is to help create green jobs, livelihoods & help preserve the environment using sustainable agri practices. In that journey, we're super delighted to join @madhuchandansc & @organicmandya on their mission to change farming & improve lives of farmers1/8

@organicmandya has helped create kitchen gardens with fruit tree saplings in 5,000+ homes. Through Sunday Santhes in Mandya, they're creating direct farmer to consumer relationships. 2/8

They are also providing free training at @organicmandya farms to 500-600 people a month to help them create livelihoods from small farms using organic farming methods. 3/8

There's an interesting backstory here too. On the same day, we first met @organicmandya (OM), we also got an email from @kunalb11 saying the $200k we had invested in @CRED_club first round was now worth 20 times🚀 asking if we wanted any exit. 4/8

Not that we had to sell stake (partially) in CRED to invest in OM. But this was a good opportunity to put it out there that even if a fraction of love that goes to startups went towards social enterprises solving real-life problems, we can have more inclusive growth in India 5/8

The quick returns on CRED were quite crazy, felt unreal like CRED Coins. I even jokingly mentioned to @kunalb11 that us investing in @organicmandya is probably the best use of CRED Coins so far😬6/8

You'd be surprised at how much impact a small group of dedicated people and patient capital focused on solving real-life problems can have to create inclusive growth in India. 7/8
