Kamlesh Nanasaheb Ghumare aka “Jugadu Kamlesh“, hope you all heard his name. A boy from Malegaon, Maharashtra came up with an idea in shark tank India which will help small & marginal farmers in many ways and also ease the work of farmers.
He and his partner Naru made an innovative product with multipurpose use like helping spray pesticides, dropping seeds, and carrying luggage.
What was Jugaadu Kamlesh’s idea | Jugadu Kamlesh’s Product
Kamlesh created a unique pesticide trolley spray. Farmers spray pesticides or drop seeds by lifting the sprayer tank on their shoulders, which is a very tough task to do and is time-consuming too. These pesticides also cause diseases when they go into our mouths and eyes. His father also had the disease.
In order to solve this problem of his father and several other farmers like him, Kamlesh designed a trolley spray, where the sprayer tank can be placed and the trolley can be moved very easily without giving much effort and it saves time too.

Jugadu Kamlesh( founder of KG Agrotech) was featured in shark tank India season 1 episode 23. He shared his idea with the shark and told them his story of making this product and how he reached there. All the shark was very impressed with his idea and the energy that he showed in the show.
He has demanded 30 lahk in exchange for a 10% share of his company in shark tank India.
Ghazal Alagh: “Aapne loan lene ki koshish kyu nahi ki kabhi?”
Jugadu Kamlesh: “Loan Dega kaun?”
Peyush Bansal: “Mai dunga. Aap Bharat ki umeed ho. Aapko support kisi ne nahi kiya par mai karunga.” and Peyush Bansal (Lenskart CEO) offered 10 lakh for 40% equity and a 20 lakh loan at 0% interest.
Kamlesh vision on doing a job instead of doing this.
In the shark tank, he was asked why didn’t he go for a job ?
He replied, “If I do a job then I will be someone’s slave for 24 hours, and we are farmers, we don’t want to be someone’s slave”.
