Samunnati Gears Up for 'Samunnati 2.0' with New Leaders

Samunnati, a prominent agri-ecosystem platform, has unveiled a significant leadership transition to drive its 'Samunnati 2.0' strategy. This initiative is designed to enhance market access and financial inclusion for farmer collectives across India through a tech-led approach.

Diwakar B R, an experienced financial services veteran, has been appointed as the new Managing Director & Group CEO. Suresh Rajagopalan, who has been instrumental in the company's technological development, will now serve as Executive Director. This transition follows the completion of the group's strategic reorganization initiated in December 2024.

Anil Kumar SG, the former Group CEO, will transition to a broader strategic role, serving as Non-Executive Chair for the group companies and Chairperson of the Samunnati Foundation. Gurunath N, a founding team member, will act as Co-founder & Advisor to the MD & CEO, supporting strategic growth and partnerships.

Samunnati aims to redefine the agri-value chain by integrating farmer relationships with digital marketplaces and embedded finance, creating a transparent and efficient network. The company remains committed to empowering smallholder farmers and making markets work for them through operational efficiency and digital scale.
