Meanwhile, in an interview with BBC News Hindi last week, Kamlesh shared how his passion for innovation turned up into a big roadblock to his marriage. “While the discussion for my marriage was on, I found it challenging to explain to people what I am actually up to. I had no convincing answer to the query,” he said. “People used to laugh at my explanation that I am into innovation. But my then wife-to-be had given her nod for the marriage,” the young farmer added.

“But people soon started enquiring from her why she is marrying a farmer as farmers can barely achieve anything in life,” Shark Tank India fame narrated.

Kamlesh didn’t stop at that and said that entire world appreciates the person once he makes a name for himself. “But the same person requires the support of others the most while he is working hard towards his goal. The struggler gets filled with confidence even if a single person shows belief in his passion during this period,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kamlesh built his pesticide spraying trolley over a period of eight years. The product promises to make the entire experience of spraying chemicals or pesticides on the crops back pain, neck pain and eye irritation free. These are some of the most common problems that even Kamlesh’s father had to suffer while spraying chemicals in his fields.
