“This recognition is more than just a win it is a testament to the incredible potential that exists in underserved regions like Nagaland,” said a representative from YouthNet. “Ngurie Organic is not only innovating for farmers, but also inspiring a generation of entrepreneurs to dream bigger.”
Ngurie Organic’s achievement marks a major milestone not just for the startup, but for Nagaland’s growing startup ecosystem, underscoring the region’s emergence as a hub for green innovation. As India looks to the future of food security and climate resilience, ventures like Ngurie Organic are proving that the next agricultural revolution may very well begin at the grassroots.
