A couple with a strong background in technology from Telangana has transitioned into prosperous farmers by pioneering innovative horticultural methods. Karra Srikanth Reddy and Anusha Reddy, originally from Jangapally village in Karimnagar district, Telangana, have earned national acclaim as extraordinary farmers for their pioneering efforts and dedication to cultivating alternative crops.

Srikanth and Anusha were once professionals in the software industry, based in Hyderabad. However, the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to return to their hometown and work remotely. During this period, they decided to embark on a new journey of full-time farming on their 5-acre land, adopting modern agricultural practices.

Their farming journey began with the cultivation of various flower crops, including roses, marigolds, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, and lilies, with each type occupying an acre of their land. They adopted innovative farming techniques such as mulching for the rose, chrysanthemum, and marigold crops.
