Wavar

Wavar, operating under the legal entity Shetipurak Agritech & Services Private Limited, is a fast-growing Agritech startup based in Pune, India. The company has carved out a distinct niche for itself by pioneering and expanding the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions across the Indian agricultural landscape. Founded in 2020 by Joy Chakraborty and Sanjay Shirodkar, Wavar is committed to a mission of making sustainable, residue-free farming practices accessible, profitable, and scalable for Indian farmers. Core Philosophy and Vision: IPM at the Grassroots The cornerstone of Wavar's business is Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is a comprehensive, science-based approach that combines chemical and non-chemical methods to suppress pest populations below the level where they cause significant economic injury. Unlike traditional methods that rely heavily on chemical pesticides, Wavar’s IPM solutions prioritize eco-friendly products and practices to ensure healthier soil, safer food, and lower cultivation costs. Wavar's vision is encapsulated in its slogan, ""Har Gaon IPM"" (IPM in Every Village), reflecting a commitment to deep rural penetration and localized solutions. By focusing on low-residue crops and sustainable techniques, the company is directly contributing to the national movement toward natural farming and the strengthening of farmer livelihoods, particularly in agriculturally dynamic states in India.
