With pioneers like Jignesh Shah, Agri Grid may have limitless opportunities

Agriculture in India is the one industry that is capable of creating more value and jobs single handedly than any other industry! And that is saying a lot considering India is one of the leading providers of IT services, technology, services (especially ITES/BPO) and has the potential to become the manufacturing centre of undeniable scales. Yet agriculture and the tertiary industries around its ecosystem has the ability to dwarf all these industries in comparison. 

Recently there has been a marked increase in the interest VC s are showing in agri based start-ups as well. One such person putting his money where it matters is Jignesh Shah- more popularly known as the “Exchange Man”. After having successfully setting up 10 exchanges in 10 years, making some of them the biggest exchanges in the world today. He not only believes, but most definitely knows having seen the industry closely for over two decades the value it holds. He feels that even just one project based on the Agri industry -  for example the proposed Agri-Grid via e-Nam that would bring the entire agriculture and commodities ecosystem into one integrated market platform has enough potential to create 10 crore new jobs! 

The management of this large ecosystem platform of Agri-Grid and associated data will be valuable in making the decision to trade in spot, forward; store, harvest commodities, global trading etc. Thus a central repository in the form of a robust secured encrypted data management system (through use of block chain technology), will be the heart of the whole network. 

The network can connect users by apps, web platform, tele-callers etc. The economic size of the consolidated market place and support infrastructure will be so significant that it will attract global investment interest in the much deprived agriculture sector. Hence, linkages with banking and financial markets are an integral part of the whole system.

Many vested interests tried to pull Mr. Jignesh Shah down by conspiring against him but couldn’t succeed in the long run. Mr. Jignesh Shah was targeted by top bureaucrats working for then finance minister P Chidambaram who had his own vested interests in the rival National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Mr. Jignesh Shah’s corporate rivals perceived him as a direct threat and hence conspired to throw him out from the markets. For this, they decided to target NSEL where they managed to create a payment crisis of and then used this to attack Mr. Jignesh Shah and his parent company, 63 moons. For six years, vested interests lodged a vicious campaign against Mr. Jignesh Shah by misguiding the media, investigative agencies and even government authorities.

However, truth finally emerged victorious when in April 2019, the Supreme Court struck down the forced merger of NSEL with 63 moons. In August 2019, the Bombay High Court also ruled that the National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) is not a financial establishment and hence notification for attachment of company’s assets including bank accounts and properties under MPID (Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors) Act stand quashed.

It is a big victory for Mr. Jignesh Shah, his company 63 moons, its shareholders and employees. As they say, truth finally wins, no matter what!
