For India’s agriculture sector, technology coupled with Research
& Development is emerging as the critical differentiator - be
it production, processing, marketing or packaging. With these
evolving changes, Coromandel International believes that the role of
Research & Development has become increasingly important and is
full of potential to offer long-term solutions to the Indian agriculture
scenario. Farmers’ swift access to the latest technologies and solutions
in research can help in overcoming issues such as seed problems, pest
control, disease complications, crop sustainability, climate change,
irrigation problems, soil erosion, etc. Hence, technology integration
has the potential to transform the entire agri-business value chain,
from agricultural crop selection to production to trading.

Reveling in this spirit of innovation, Coromandel International
celebrated its first ‘R&D Day’ on 26th February 2019 at its
Coromandel Lab at Monash (A Coromandel R&D unit recently
established at IIT - Monash Academy, IIT Bombay, Powai,
Mumbai). The event was organised to further draw insights
on plausible synergies within different Coromandel R&D
centres, collaborate on projects of mutual interest and,
most importantly, utilise the IIT Monash platform, which is a strong
collaboration between IIT Bombay and Monash University, Australia,
to research deeper into agri-technologies and solutions.

The event celebration was graced by the Senior Management team
of Coromandel International Limited viz. Mr. Sameer Goel, Managing
Director, Ms. Jayashree Satagopan, Executive VP & CFO, Mr. S
Sankarasubramanian, President – Fertilisers, Mr. P Kalidas, Executive
