About

Niche Agriculture is an Indian agribusiness and organic farming company associated with Harisharan Devgan. The company primarily promotes organic farming, sustainable agriculture, pomegranate cultivation, biotechnology, and related ventures.

Niche Agriculture Limited, one of India’s pioneering organic farming enterprises, has been driving a quiet revolution in Indian agriculture. Founded in 2000 by visionary agripreneur Harisharan Devgan, the company has grown from a handful of seeds into a multi-faceted business that champions sustainability, rural empowerment, and ethical farming. Headquartered in New Delhi, the company integrates traditional agricultural wisdom with modern innovation to produce high‑quality, certified organic produce for both domestic and international markets.

Founder & Leadership
The company was founded by Harisharan Devgan, an innovative farmer and organic advocate who turned his passion for nature‑friendly farming into a thriving enterprise. Coming from a family with an 80‑year legacy in land banking and conventional farming, Devgan chose to break from tradition after witnessing the damaging effects of chemical‑intensive agriculture. His commitment to ethical, sustainable practices has earned him recognition as “Organic Farmer of the Year” and “Entrepreneur of the Year”. Under his leadership, Niche Agriculture has expanded into a diversified group that includes clean energy, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and media – all united by a core belief in natural, renewable, and chemical‑free operations.
