Bharat K2: In a small village called Malegaon in Maharashtra, there’s a young man everyone knows as “Jugadu Kamlesh” or Kamlesh Nanasaheb Ghumare. You might have heard his name, and he’s making life better for farmers in a big way.
Kamlesh and his friend Naru came up with an incredible idea when they appeared on Shark Tank India. Their idea is a game-changer for small and struggling farmers. They’ve created a handy gadget that can do many things: it helps spray pesticides, plant seeds, and carry heavy stuff.

Let’s talk about why Kamlesh’s invention is so important. Imagine farmers carrying heavy pesticide sprayers on their shoulders. It’s hard work, takes a lot of time, and can even make them sick if the pesticides get into their mouths or eyes. Kamlesh saw his own father suffering from this.
To help his dad and many other farmers like him, Kamlesh designed a pesticide sprayer on wheels. This means you can put the sprayer on a little cart and move it around easily. It’s a big time-saver and much safer.
Now, Kamlesh has improved his creation even more. He calls it “Bharat K2”. The new version is even better because it’s electric, which makes it super convenient. Kamlesh and his team showed this new model to an investor named Peyush Bansal, who had already supported Kamlesh’s idea before. They have big plans too they want to make around Rs 5 crore in their first year.

Kamlesh didn’t have fancy degrees or a lot of money. He’s just a village boy who wanted to help farmers. He started working on this in 2014 and kept trying different things to make it better. After 7 years of hard work, he finally got a chance to show it on Shark Tank.
Kamlesh is not alone. All across India, in many villages, people are coming up with clever ideas to help others. It’s fantastic that so many startups like Kamlesh’s KG Agrotech are solving problems for farmers. Kamlesh was on the first season of Shark Tank India, and now his startup is a private limited company.
Kamlesh Ghumare is a true hero for farmers, and his story shows that with determination and hard work, anyone can make a big difference in the world.
