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 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.
After this innovation Jugadu Kamlesh net worth is around $ 1Million or 10 Lakhs.
