Abhi isn’t an ag consultant who’s never made a payroll decision under pressure. He’s a private equity investor, serial entrepreneur, and managing partner who’s built, scaled, and exited seven companies across industries where margins are thin, capital is expensive, and one bad quarter can sink an operation.

While most speakers talk about resilience and change management in theory, Abhi brings frameworks built from navigating actual trade shocks, market volatility, and operational crises. He faced FBI investigation and over $1 million in debt at 19 and rebuilt. He understands what it’s like when policy changes overnight, buyers disappear, and you’re sitting on inventory with no backup plan.

Agriculture audiences don’t get generic leadership platitudes. They get decision frameworks for revenue diversification, capital allocation under uncertainty, and building operations that perform when macro and micro pressures collide. Abhi speaks the language of operators who understand volume-margin tradeoffs, not consultants who’ve never had skin in the game.

Yes. The challenges are the same, the scale is different.

Family farm operators dealing with succession planning, diversification pressure, and deciding whether to invest in direct-to-consumer infrastructure get frameworks for phased growth that doesn’t overleverage the operation.

Agribusiness executives managing multi-state operations, navigating trade policy uncertainty, and balancing government contracts with higher-margin channels get strategic decision models for portfolio management and risk mitigation.

Co-op leaders trying to serve diverse member needs, allocate capital across competing priorities, and pivot when export markets collapse get tools for stakeholder alignment and rapid response planning.

Whether you’re deciding if you can afford egg grading equipment or evaluating a $50M processing facility investment, the framework is the same: how do you make high-stakes decisions when you don’t have perfect information and can’t afford to be wrong?

Abhi doesn’t just speak and leave. He partners.

Post-Event Strategic Sessions: Leadership teams can book follow-up sessions to apply the frameworks to their specific challenges, whether that’s building a diversification roadmap, stress-testing capital decisions, or creating contingency plans for trade disruptions.

Advisory Retainers: For organizations facing major transitions (succession planning, market entry, operational restructuring), Abhi provides ongoing strategic guidance through his private equity and advisory work at Meridian 84.

Custom Workshops: Half-day or full-day workshops where leadership teams work through real scenarios: What do we do if our largest buyer cancels? How do we evaluate direct market investment? How do we balance volume stability with margin growth?

Executive Coaching: One-on-one coaching for CEOs, COOs, and next-generation leaders navigating high-pressure decisions and organizational transitions.

The keynote creates momentum. The follow-through creates results.

Abhi researches your industry’s pressure points before he takes the stage.

Row Crop Operations: Focus on commodity price volatility, input cost management, trade policy exposure, and deciding when to invest in value-added processing versus selling raw.

Livestock and Poultry: Emphasis on direct-to-consumer infrastructure decisions (processing facilities, cold storage, food safety compliance), balancing government contracts with farm-to-business channels, and managing perishable inventory through demand shocks.

Specialty Crops: Deep dive into premium market positioning, managing buyer relationships, navigating certification requirements, and building brand equity that commands higher margins.

Co-ops and Ag Enterprises: Strategic focus on member alignment, capital allocation across diverse operations, balancing stability and innovation, and creating decision frameworks that work for stakeholders with competing priorities.

Agribusiness and Supply Chain: Concentration on macro risk management, portfolio diversification, M&A strategy, and building operational flexibility when you’re managing multiple geographies and product lines.

Every keynote includes industry-specific case studies, sector-relevant terminology, and frameworks customized to the decisions your audience actually faces. No generic business school theory. Just applicable strategy for the realities of agriculture.
