Vibhor Jain and Ishita Jain, a couple from Jaipur, began their farming journey on rented land with just a few Gir cows in 2018, despite having no prior experience in agriculture or animal husbandry. Today, their Kinaya Organic Farms and Life, located around 35 km from Jaipur, has expanded to include 100 Gir cows and a diverse range of products, generating an annual revenue of up to Rs 2.4 crore.
The farm produces milk, ghee, wood-pressed oils, organic vegetables, and freeze-dried products such as colostrum powder. The cows' dung is utilized as biogas, which in turn is used for cooking gas, and the remaining slurry serves as fertiliser. The farm also features a 45-kilowatt solar setup, rainwater harvesting, and electric vehicles to power its operations, creating a self-sustainable system that integrates various aspects of agriculture and resource management.
Initially, Vibhor, a computer science engineer, learned about cattle-rearing practices from families in Kathiawar, Gujarat, and recognized the value of Gir cows in urban markets. Ishita, a former IT engineer and HR MBA graduate, joined the venture upon their marriage in 2022. Together, they transformed their initial dairy farm into a connected farming system that combines dairy, agroforestry, organic cultivation, and renewable energy sources, such as solar power and electric vehicles.
