A small team with experience in technology, research, business, and the field.
Studied field-led design for smallholder systems. Built BI solutions and GTM from zero to scale, forging ventures with leading financial institutions across complex regulatory environments.
In Nepal, during his graduate studies, a farmer showed Tashi she had learned to grow tomatoes in a high tunnel from YouTube — no program, no extension worker. She was selling directly to local restaurants. Seen through the lens of what Khan Academy proved about knowledge at scale, that moment became the founding logic of 10,000 Farms.
Beyond 10,000 Farms, Tashi has spent 15 years in enterprise: building partnerships and go-to-market programs at a business intelligence firm serving global banks, insurers, and SMEs, and earlier in enterprise sales at Apple. Speaks four languages.
B.S., New York University. Master's in Global Development, Cornell University, magna cum laude.
Outside of work, Tashi runs, swims, and climbs and volunteers with NYC Parks and the Vipassana community.
B.S. in Business Data Analytics and International Business Studies. Background in strategy, analytics, and research-led problem solving across operations, business intelligence, and early-stage initiatives.
10,000 Farms connects to something Siddharth keeps coming back to: useful knowledge shouldn't stay locked inside institutions, reports, or expert networks. Farmers should be able to access practical, trusted guidance at the moment a decision actually matters.
His work on 10,000 Farms spans program structure, analytics, and partner readiness — he helps turn research and data into things the team can actually test.
B.S. in Business Data Analytics with International Business Studies, Arizona State University. Cornell Future Leaders MBA, class of 2028.
Outside of work, Siddharth runs and treks.
Former Clinical Research Physician, University of Zürich, Long Covid. Led medical training at Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. Partnered with Geneva InZone & UNHCR.
My entire career in medicine and public health comes down to one fact: health starts with food. You can't build resilient communities when people are one bad harvest from a crisis.
I believe the most effective interventions don't hand out supplies — they transfer knowledge. What works in the field has to be practical, local, and something a farmer can act on today. That's what drew me to 10,000 Farms.
The goal is simple: give farmers knowledge they can use to improve their own livelihoods.
