Tarun is a Social Entrepreneur with a flair for improving the lives of people at the very grassroots of the society. He believes in “Doing well by doing good”. After completing his Bachelors’ degree in Commerce, Tarun decided to follow his heart and enrolled for a Post Graduate course in Forestry and Environmental management from Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) at Bhopal. His years at IIFM were instrumental in forging a long-standing career which spanned from working in the remotest villages as part of premier NGOs to being the founding member of the Aavishkaar-Intellecap group working on Social Enterprises and for-profit initiatives for social good, to heading Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at some of the leading corporate houses of India. A few years ago, Tarun decided to put his preaching into practice and became an entrepreneur himself. He took over the reins of a dairy farm tribal Odisha. The Dairy farm was a model for tribal development through a well-run dairy enterprise which provided a lot of earning opportunities to the tribal people in the way of cultivation of fodder crops and by adopting animal husbandry. During the same time, Tarun co-founded Sprihaat Retail Network which emerged as a persistent need faced by him as a Dairy Farmer. Tarun realized that the dairy farmer needs a strong marketing and sales support which will allow her/him to focus on producing quality milk. Sprihaat, today supports 2 dairy farms in Western Odisha by helping them market their farm-fresh milk to people who value quality and who are looking for best possible milk for their children. Sprihaat also helps dairy farmers reduce their cost of operations by helping them source best quality fodder at reasonable rates. The fodder business has helped more than 800 tribal farmers come out of poverty and live a prosperous life. Besides being a social entrepreneur, Tarun is on a spiritual journey trying to find meaning to life itself. He meditates daily and jumps at any opportunity to volunteer to make the society a better place. He loves playing the Indian Bamboo Flute and is an avid podcast listener. His interests range from Indian Mythology to Business and Economics. Tarun is the Joint- Secretary, Mumbai District at CIMSME.
