In a groundbreaking ceremony held at NITTE Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bengaluru on October 15, 2025, Vasuki Agro Chemicals LLP proudly launched “Goubio” – a liquid fermented organic manure that promises to revolutionize sustainable agriculture in India. This innovative product, developed by our team in Shivamogga, Karnataka, represents a significant milestone in our mission to restore soil health and support farmers across the nation.
Our Journey: From Concept to Reality
The story of Goubio began when our founder, Mr. Ranjit N.S., approached the Nitte DST Technology Enabling Center with a vision – to develop a fermentation-based liquid organic manure utilizing cow dung and cow urine-based slurry extract. Understanding the urgent need to save our agricultural lands from the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers, we embarked on this ambitious project with determination and dedication.
With the technical support of DST TEC and validation services from Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Shimoga, Vasuki Agro Chemicals LLP was officially registered as a startup and incubated at the prestigious Nitte Atal Incubation Center. Our team worked tirelessly to develop a product that not only meets organic farming requirements but also complies with the Fertiliser Control Act (FCO), ensuring it’s ready for the market.
What Makes Goubio Special?
Goubio is not just another organic manure – it’s a carefully formulated liquid fertilizer that addresses the critical challenge of soil degradation. Our product is:
- 100% Organic: Made from processed cow dung and cow urine-based slurry extract through controlled fermentation
- Soil-Friendly: Helps restore soil fertility and microbial balance
- Easy to Apply: Liquid form allows for convenient spraying and application
- Eco-Friendly: Reduces dependency on harmful chemical fertilizers
- Cost-Effective: Provides farmers with an affordable alternative to expensive synthetic fertilizers
- FCO Compliant: Meets all regulatory requirements for commercial use
Distinguished Guests Acknowledge Our Innovation
The launch event was graced by eminent personalities from the agricultural and academic sectors who recognized the significance of Vasuki Agro Chemicals’ achievement:
“It is very sad that agricultural lands are overloaded with chemical manure and insecticides for long periods, resulting in soil degradation. The launch of ‘Goubio’ by Vasuki Agro Chemicals LLP is a huge relief for farmers in particular and the nation at large.”
Dr. S.V. Suresh
Vice Chancellor, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore
Dr. S.V. Suresh further encouraged innovation by suggesting that engineering students develop drone technology for spraying Goubio, which would save farmers’ time and reduce labor costs significantly.
“Nitte Atal Innovation Centre, in supporting startups like Vasuki Agro Chemicals to develop such eco-friendly products, is taking a significant step forward.”
Dr. R.C. Jagadeesh
Vice Chancellor, University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Shivamogga
Smt. Shree Roopa, IAS, Commissioner of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services, Government of Karnataka, assured that the state government would support large-scale production of Goubio by involving goshaalas (cowsheds) across Karnataka, opening new avenues for farmers and cow welfare.
Media Coverage & Recognition
The launch of Goubio received extensive media coverage across Karnataka, highlighting the innovative efforts of Vasuki Agro Chemicals in sustainable agriculture:
The Problem We’re Solving
For decades, Indian agriculture has been dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which have led to:
- Gradual loss of soil fertility
- Degradation of agricultural land
- Reduced crop yields over time
- Environmental pollution
- Health hazards from chemical residues in food
- Increasing costs for farmers
At Vasuki Agro Chemicals, we recognized that without adopting organic methods for higher yields and pest control, a major agricultural crisis was inevitable. Goubio is our answer to this pressing challenge.
Our Collaboration & Support Network
The success of Goubio would not have been possible without the invaluable support and guidance of:
- Nitte DST Technology Enabling Center (DST TEC) – For technical product development support
- Atal Innovation Centre – Nitte (AIC-NITTE) – For incubation and mentorship
- Atal Community Innovation Centre – NMIT Foundation (ACIC-NMIT Foundation) – For community support and facilities
