In a remarkable tale of entrepreneurship and perseverance, Harish Dhandev, a former government engineer, has successfully carved a lucrative path in the agriculture and farming industry, turning his humble aloe vera farming venture into a multi-million-dollar corporation.

Hailing from a middle-class family of farmers in Rajasthan, Harish Dhandev initially pursued an engineering degree and secured a well-paying government job as a junior engineer with the Jaisalmer Municipal Council. Despite the stability and benefits that came with the job, Harish harbored a dream of achieving something bigger and more fulfilling in life.

The turning point came during a visit to an agriculture expo in Delhi, where Harish discovered the potential of cultivating a special breed of aloe vera known as Barbie Denis Miller. Recognizing the high demand for this exotic variety in international markets like Hong Kong, Brazil, and the United States for premium beauty products and cosmetics, Harish took a daring step and decided to venture into aloe vera farming on his family's 120-acre farmland in Jaisalmer.

His exceptional produce caught the attention of Patanjali, the renowned brand founded by yoga guru Baba Ramdev. Recognizing the economic benefits of using locally grown premium aloe vera, Patanjali chose Harish's high-quality crop as their official supplier for aloe vera-based products like gels and soaps. This collaboration propelled Harish's startup to new heights, transforming it into a million-dollar corporation.
