Co-Founder & Veterinary Sciences Lead

Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India

Former Senior Veterinary Officer with the Government of Rajasthan, bringing over 22 years of extensive experience in animal husbandry. Currently focusing on exploring plant-based compounds for nutritional applications, repurposing agricultural waste into pharmacologically useful feedstock, and supporting improvements in rural animal husbandry practices.

Cultivation & Soil Reclamation Network

Climate-matched cultivation across US bioregions — medicinal plant production paired with degraded-land reclamation. Each site generates live production data that feeds back into the medallion pipeline as ground-truth validation for the literature-derived corpus.
