Mayank Dholaria
M.S. (Biotechnology), B.E. (Biotechnology)
Mayank Dholaria is the primary promoter of Maxcell Biotics. He has a background in the field of Biotechnology (M.S. in Biotechnology, University of Houston – Clear Lake, Texas, USA; B.E. Biotechnology, VTU, Bengaluru) and a long periodic exposure to agricultural practices and regular farmer field visits. These experiences have lead to him to change the current approach in agricultural practices of chemical intensive to Residue Free Sustainable practices.
With rising awareness of the harmful effects and long lasting residues of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers, essential changes are needed in our approach for current agricultural practices. Also, there is dire need to adopt technology at the root levels, to achieve a goal to produce food every human being on the planet. Thus the foundation stones were laid for Maxcell Biotics, with an aim to provide Natural products & Residue Free Sustainable practices for agriculture. Educating & training the farmers to adopt Residue Free Sustainable farming practices and how to better utilize the available resources has also been one of our key approaches at Maxcell Biotics.
