Vamsi UdayagiriFounder

India - Hyderabad, Telangana,

My interests and areas of expertise include Supply Chain Management, Sales and Customer Management, Enterprise Creation, Livelihoods & Skill Development, Rural Marketing and Promotion, Stakeholder Management, Community Development, Social Enterprises, Impact Investment, Agri Tech, Fin Tech and Rural Tech.

I am a dreamer, learner and achiever, and a firm believer of affirmation. I always believe, if our cause is big and our efforts are right, we can create a major impact.

Rural value chains have always fascinated me and I strongly believe that the digital pathway that has opened up should provide ample space for everyone to ride it, including our fellow citizens in rural India. Hence, through my organization, Hesa, I have embarked on a mission to revolutionize rural commerce and empower millions of rural livelihoods.

In my 20 years of experience, I have had ample opportunities to co-create solutions to solve the pain-points plaguing those in my Bharat – be it agriculture, employment, education, entertainment or healthcare. Hesa is an amalgamation of all these experiences and connections. We make Rural commerce viable. We are equally invested and committed to nurturing the relationships and trust that drive the way business happens in villages and leverage digital to make it easy, convenient and on the spot. I am also grateful to lead a team of highly skilled and passionate professionals.

One thing that has been constant is my connect with the grassroots. Every trip to the rural heartland has motivated me to innovate further. It also fills me with a sense of gratitude that I am contributing in enabling an equitable life and lifestyle to those residing in my Bharat and creating livelihood opportunities for thousands of people right in their villages. Our journey is just warming up as we have over 650,000 Indian villages on our radar.

A call out to all the brands and businesses - if you are on the lookout for A ONE STOP PARTNER, ENABLER & AGGREGATOR to connect, engage, sell and buy products and services including financial transactions in rural pockets, I would love to hear from you!!
