Agri Tourism India (also known as Agri Tourism Development Corporation — ATDC)

Pandurang Taware and Vaishali Taware are from Maharashtra — specifically from Baramati, a district near Pune. Pandurang is the son of a farmer and had 12 years of experience in sales and marketing in Pune before he decided to start this business because of his father's dream. Pandurang's story is one of the most emotionally resonant origin stories in the entire first season of Shark Tank India. He grew up as a farmer's son — deeply connected to agricultural life, the rhythms of the land, and the culture of rural Maharashtra. But like millions of young Indians before him, he moved to the city in pursuit of economic opportunity, spending over a decade in a corporate sales and marketing role in Pune.

Agri Tourism India is a rural tourism business that connects urban visitors with farming families across Maharashtra and beyond, allowing them to experience authentic village life, participate in agricultural activities, stay overnight at farm centres, and engage directly with farmers and their communities. Agri-tourism is defined as travel that combines agriculture and rural settings with the products of an agricultural operation within a tourism experience. The experience itself is the Agri Tourism product. Besides the experience, tourists can also buy fresh agricultural produce and products directly from farmers without any middlemen.
