She had started an NGO while in college with the sole aim of serving people. Today, she serves as a mentor to many startups and her growth as an entrepreneur in immense. Few key learnings from her : 1. Pilot your product 2. Pivot when required 3. Necessity will help you take the next step 4. Empathize with your customer 5. Own your decision Pilot your product(MVP) Archana and team started with 1 farm and 18 families to pilot their model. They started small so that they can practically learn and understand their mistakes. This pilot phase helped them iterate and work constantly on their model. Pivot when required Covid was an unexpected bash for many and so was for myHarvest Farms. They were operating earlier in the subscription model and had to pivot to D2C model when situations demanded. "It was not us, but the local supply chain that won", says Archana. Necessity It will help you take the next step Started with a small terrace garden, understood the basics and decided to setup their own farm. Once they started farming, they learnt that there are seasonal vegetables and certain vegetables doesn't grow in certain areas. This urged them to travel to learn and create the ecosystem that is present today. Empathize Managing Supply chain was difficult in covid times. And unexpected delays were unavoidable. Being transparent with their customers had helped and Archana insists on being empathetic. Empathizing with customers and farmers has helped them earn their customers' and farmers' trust. Own your decision It has not been an easy thing to convince her family. But she and her husband who is her co-founder as well, had showcased strong will and continuous efforts in whatever they did. If you believe and own your choice, everybody around would respect and trust your choice. "If you build something exciting, people will want to use it" - Archana Stalin.

LAUNCH ALERT* - https://club.tamilpreneur.in/ Today is Thiru. K Kamarajar's birth anniversary. One of the greatest reformers of education in TamilNadu who was instrumental in starting around 21,000 Elementary schools, 27,000 Primary schools, 450 libraries across Tamilnadu during 1950s. The education rate which was only 7% that time rose to 37%. As a result of this, today Tamilnadu's Gross Enrollment Ratio in Higher Education is at 50% (top 3 in India). At the same time, I came across States Startup Report 2019 where Tamilnadu was not even in top 20 out of the 28 states in India. I was disappointed as this continued in 2020 as well. We spoke to over 700 students and found that one in every two students has got an idea to try but lack the awareness on how to proceed further. So, there is a huge potential among college students to change this scenario.  They don't know whom to reach out to. They don't have the motivation. Today on Kamarajar's birth Anniversary, we are happy to launch TP Club. What is TP Club? A digital forum that showcases everything that revolves around startups and entrepreneurship in Tamil Nadu. Why Should you join ? You can find your team, mentor, co-founder, and even interact with the entrepreneurs who have been there done that. On top of this you can stay updated about Startup News and Events. Few people have also landed up on internship, jobs at startup through TP club. There are already hundreds of people who are also startup founders, Alumni from top institutions like IITs /IIMs, and aspiring entrepreneurs in the club. TamilPreneur will be a light bearer to the startup ecosystem in Tamilnadu. What Kamarajar did to education in TN, we will do it for the Startup Ecosystem. Till date, we have educated 100k people about entrepreneurship & startups through our podcast that covers interviews of entrepreneurs, courseware on how to startup and business case studies. The launch of TP club will be an opportunity to take this initiative to even more people. Anybody interested in entrepreneurship can click the below link and join the Club. Please do share so that the entire community gets benefitted.
