Tracing his entrepreneurial journey, Subba Rao said though he hailed from an farmer family his passion made him an engineer and eventually work with the best minds in the Space and Defence organisations.
He said he was keen to use technology for benefit of people and was part of the team which launched satellites in the early years of ISRO to study weather, climate , ground water conditions and others. “We are poised to do wonders in the space programmes. World at present needs close to 2.75 lakh satellites and only India has the capability and bandwidth to produce so many . Huge opportunity lies for us in the $ 440 billion space programme industry globally,” Subba Rao said.
M Prabhakar Rao, CMD, Nuziveedu Seeds, attributed the company success in developing new variety of seeds for farmers. Today, it has a variety of maize and rice seeds, which give 30% more yield. It withstood competition as it invested in research and development, he said.
