This week Parth joins us on RG. He runs Azaylla, which is one of the most recent startups in Cambodia to secure funding - from the VC impact firm Uberis Capital (see RG episode N.12 with Trisha of Uberis). Parth has been interested in agriculture from an early age, receiving an MS degree in Agricultural Economics from Universiti Putra Malaysia. He is originally from India and has been based out of Cambodia since 2017, working in the agritech space and founding Azaylla in 2019.
Azaylla is solving bottlenecks in the agricultural supply chain in Cambodia: at one end, they help farmers get better prices and ensure consistent demand and on the other end, they help retailers/buyers source fresh vegetables and fruits at competitive prices directly from farmers.
What we dive into:
- Growing up in an environment, where knowledge of agriculture was a key part of his upbringing and education
- Growing Azaylla into a investment-grade startup; tips for raising venture capital in Cambodia
- Parth's most import piece of advice: "the key to life is learning how to sell"
