Why does a country that grows so many pulses import more than 90% of the protein isolates in its protein powders? Smitha Devigere, a former Novozymes scientist from Davanagere, left a stable research career to change that. Her answer is a patented, chemical-free plant protein made from Indian pulses using only water.About the founder:Smitha is the founder of Devigere Bio Solutions. Most plant protein, including soy and pea, is extracted with solvents, acids and alkalis. She wanted a protein she could confidently feed her own children, so she began experimenting in her kitchen with alasande (black-eyed beans). Alasande is one of Karnataka's biggest pulse crops and is mostly sold as animal feed. That work became a water-based extraction method, an Indian patent granted in 2024, and a plant protein that dissolves completely in water, which very few plant proteins can do.Getting from kitchen to factory was hard. A ₹1.5 lakh manufacturing batch failed. She turned down ₹2 crore because accepting it meant moving her company and patent to Singapore. A ₹23 lakh grant from Karnataka's Elevate programme kept the company going. Later, a cold application to Rainmatter led to a pitch in front of Nithin Kamath and a ₹3 crore investment, which built a manufacturing unit in Davanagere.A candid conversation about deep science entrepreneurship from a smaller city, raising money without an IIT or IIM network, and what Indians get wrong about protein.Website Link : https://www.devigerebiosolutions.com/Buy Sara Protein: https://saraprotein.com/Get in touch with the guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smitha-devigere-a5043622/WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER- Is protein deficiency in India real, and why is muscle loss starting earlier?- How soy and pea protein isolates are made, and why Smitha chose water instead- Why India imports plant protein at ₹300 to 400 per kg while selling the same pulses as feed for ₹50 to 60- What a failed batch taught her about scaling a new food technology- Why she chose to keep her intellectual property in India- What the Rainmatter pitch with Nithin Kamath and Nikhil Kamath was really like- Does protein damage your kidneys, and do older adults need less of it?- Why the dal in a family meal gives each person only about 5 grams of protein, and how to eat moreChapters 00:00 Trailer01:30 Is the Protein Craze Real or Just Hype?07:13 The School Science Project That Started It All11:55 No Medical Seat, No Placement — Then a Global Research Job18:02 Why She Quit a Comfortable Job23:48 Plant vs Animal Protein: The 100x Difference30:11 No Soy, No Chemicals — Research in Her Own Kitchen37:38 Breaking an FD — and Turning Down ₹2 Crore43:23 The Failed Batch She Never Told Her Father About52:15 A ₹23 Lakh Grant — and a Market That Only Asked About Price1:01:17 The Rainmatter Pitch: A Blank Look, Then an Email1:11:34 ₹3 Crore, a Factory in Davanagere — and Their Own Brand1:16:31 If She'd Known How Long It Would Take…1:22:19 Protein Myths — and Why Your Dal Isn't Enough1:32:30 Favorite Founders, Kantara & Why Local Stories MatterABOUT MUNDHE BANNIMundhe Banni is a Kannada-first entrepreneurship media platform featuring long-form conversations with founders, entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders, and a community of people who want to build.Support Mundhe Banni: https://mundhebanni.org/en/patronFollow Mundhe Banni on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mundhebannihttps://linktr.ee/mundhebanniMundhe Banni Website: https://www.mundhebanni.orgMonthly startup & entrepreneurship updates in Kannada, subscribe to the Mundhe Banni Newsletter: https://mundhebanni.org/newsletterJoin the Mundhe Banni WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IAWPPpF1m3V1SCLyORz9WNSubscribe to Mundhe Banni Academy: https://www.youtube.com/@mundhebanniacademy

Suhas Ramegowda, co-founder of The Good Doll, left a 15-year corporate career at Shell, Bank of America and Wells Fargo to build it.In this Mundhe Banni episode, Suhas tells the full story in Kannada: a middle-class Mysuru childhood, a first job at ₹6,000 a month, and walking away from corporate life in 2017. He and his wife Sunitha moved with their 9-year-old son to land 25 km beyond Kotagiri, with stream water, solar power and elephants at lunch. Living the same life as the tribal families around them exposed one difference: the bank balance. That discomfort became five women in their living room, then quilts, then COVID masks, and finally a rag doll the market called the "Indian Barbie."The Good Doll is now a Nilgiris-based social enterprise backed by Rainmatter, sold in 90+ stores across 30 cities. It has reached 1 lakh+ parents, made 2 lakh+ dolls from 30,000 kg of upcycled export-house fabric, and gives 100+ tribal women an average income of ₹12,000 a month. Suhas breaks down India's ₹15,000 crore toy industry, the BIS rule that stopped Chinese imports overnight, and why Indian toy makers still manufacture for others instead of building brands.CHAPTERS00:00 Trailer – The doll that doesn't look like our kids01:33 Introduction: Suhas Ramegowda and The Good Doll05:20 Does a Nilgiris-rooted doll sell across India? 60% of sales from Delhi and Mumbai08:07 Mysuru middle-class boy to Shell and Bank of America via a ₹6,000 job12:10 Maximalism, minimalism and the inward journey that started in 201515:13 Quitting both jobs and moving off-grid to the Nilgiris19:02 Why off-grid life felt empty: the bank-balance difference20:28 Quilts, COVID masks and the want-vs-need lesson24:26 The rag doll the market called "Indian Barbie"26:56 "Amma, why don't I look like this doll?" – the white space for an Indian doll28:06 India's ₹15,000 Cr toy industry, the BIS ban and why nobody builds brands31:19 ₹35 lakh own capital, Rainmatter seed and the go-to-market: 5 stores to 80 without ads36:16 Customer vs consumer: how Neelah got her name and her family40:04 Upcycled fabric, PET-bottle filling and recycled vs upcycled43:57 Training 100+ Nilgiris women: guaranteed salary and two weeks of straight-line stitching48:57 Neelah as IP: comics, the Westland book, Soccer and Bharatanatyam Neelah51:41 AI as a back-end tool, cutting screen time and breaking stereotypes57:13 Kinnala, Channapatna and the design-marketing gap in Indian crafts59:13 Unschooling their son: Khan Academy at 6, running the company's AI at 191:04:05 Rapid fire and why entrepreneurship must become cultural in Tier-2/3 KarnatakaGuest: Suhas Ramegowda, Co-founder, The Good Doll

Akshayakalpa founder Shashi Kumar breaks down how organic dairy farming turned into a profitable, full-time livelihood for hundreds of young farmers in Karnataka. In this Kannada interview, he explains why the average Akshayakalpa farmer is 32 while the average Indian farmer is 52 — and what it took to get there.ಈ ಸಂಚಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಅಕ್ಷಯಕಲ್ಪ ಆರ್ಗಾನಿಕ್ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪಕ ಶಶಿಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ.Shashi Kumar started with 27 friends from Wipro who put in their own savings, no dairy experience between them, and an idea that agriculture could be run as a real business rather than a charity case. On 11 February 2012 he stood in Krishna Rao Park in Bengaluru and sold his first 18 litres of milk to morning joggers. The company came close to bankruptcy roughly six times before a ₹5 crore investment in 2016 changed everything.This conversation covers the parts of the story most agri-business interviews skip: the unit economics of a small dairy farm, why soil organic carbon matters more than fertiliser, how Akshayakalpa farms in the Tiptur belt pushed average coconut yields from 55 nuts per tree back up to 89, and why regenerative agriculture only works if you are patient enough to think in decades. Shashi also talks about running a company with no head office, no micromanagement and, in his words, a CEO with no power — plus honest lessons on fundraising, mentorship, distribution channels and the failures founders should expect from day one.If you care about sustainable farming, organic milk, rural entrepreneurship or the future of food production in India, this is a conversation worth your time.Chapters:00:00:00 Trailer00:01:24 Introduction00:02:39 Where every cab driver in Bengaluru actually comes from00:06:36 27 IT engineers who knew nothing about dairy — how Akshayakalpa began00:17:05 11 Feb 2012: 18 litres of milk in a park, then nine brutal years00:30:19 Our soil is dying: how 185 coconuts a tree became 5500:44:36 Nandini kept us alive.

In this episode of  @mundhebanni  Kishore Rai traces the full arc — from a village near Mangaluru where a 10-paise ice candy was the whole childhood memory, to nine years inside Unilever's ice cream business, to co-founding Dairy Day, and finally to launching Polar Bear in 2008 with ₹15 lakh and 25 unique flavours. He explains why he never saw himself as selling ice cream at all: "We are in the business of selling good, memorable experiences." The conversation goes deep into the 2016 rebrand that saved the company when McDonald's, Domino's, Subway and Starbucks were flooding India's food space — hiring QSR professionals, rewriting every SOP, redesigning stores, and convincing 40 existing franchisees to reinvest. He also breaks down the Delta 4 framework, why Polar Bear stayed bootstrapped and cash-positive from day one, and why discipline beats intelligence in every hire he makes.About the Guest:Kishore Rai is the founder of Polar Bear, Karnataka's homegrown ice cream sundae chain with roughly 200 outlets across South India and Maharashtra — 100 in Bengaluru alone — supporting around 2,200 direct and indirect jobs. Before Polar Bear, he spent nine years at Unilever's ice cream business and was part of the founding group of Dairy Classic Ice Creams, the company behind Dairy Day.Get in touch with the guest: in.linkedin.com/in/kishoreraiChapters:00:00:00 Trailer00:01:45 Why a Podcast Made Only for Kannadiga Founders00:02:47 One Store to 200 Outlets and ₹400 Crore: Meet Kishore Rai00:05:07 The 10-Paise Ice Candy Generation That Shaped a Brand00:11:16 Three Jobs in Four Months, Then Nine Years Inside Unilever00:16:56 The Café Coffee Day Obsession That Became Polar Bear00:23:46 He Got the Promotion of His Life, Then Walked Away From It00:28:46 Inside the First Store: ITPL, ₹15 Lakh and 25 Unusual Flavours00:39:23 The Delta 4 Framework That Predicts Which Businesses Win00:43:51 2016: "If We Continue Like This, We Will Not Survive"00:52:51 How Polar Bear Screens a Franchisee, and Who Gets Rejected First00:58:51 "Intelligence Is Overrated" and What He Checks Instead01:06:57 Zero Funding, Zero Bank Loans, Cash Positive From Day One01:19:24 The CCD Feeling He Wants Polar Bear to Give Every Kannadiga01:24:51 Anant Nag, Agassi and the Sundae He Can't Stop Eating

India designs 20% of the world's semiconductors and owns almost none of them. Deepak Shapeti, co-founder and CEO of IISc-incubated Morphing Machines, is trying to change that with REDEFINE — India's own runtime-reconfigurable AI processor.He scored 60% in PUC and 12,000 in CET. Stanford admitted him anyway, and told him plainly: we ignored your marks.This conversation covers what it actually takes to build a fabless semiconductor startup in India — the two-decade research foundation at the Indian Institute of Science, the ₹15 lakh the company started with, the DLI and Chips2Startup schemes now funding a new generation of Indian chip designers, and why India still imports $42 billion of strategic chips every year.
