Shri Rajendra Jain ( Biography )

The primary distinction between a businessman and an industrialist lies in their approach. A businessman focuses solely on profits and losses, whereas an industrialist prioritizes the progress of all stakeholders, alongside business growth.

Our founder Shri Rajendra Jain exemplifies an industrialist…..

He was born in a small town Alote (Madhya Pradesh), keenly interested in agriculture and its contribution to the country’s progress. He did his higher studies from GB Pant University, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), where he was an exemplary performer and a very active sportsman.

He founded Eagle Seeds in the year 1982. Initially, he pioneered in the industry the concept of high-volume, low-cost production for crops like wheat and soybean. Through his exceptional leadership, he steered the industry in a new direction, driving collective progress.

Under his leadership, the company undertook seed production and packaging for Maha Beej, a renowned Maharashtra government enterprise. However, his visionary guidance enabled the company to establish its own marketing network, transitioning to exclusively sell seeds under its proprietary brand within a remarkably short period.

Previously, it operated by renting close to 25-30 warehouses. In 1999, the company established its own warehouse and processing unit in Peer Karadia village, near Kshipra, Indore. However, as the company’s brand gained popularity among farmers, demand for Eagle seeds surged, leading to a warehouse shortage. To address this, Shri RK Jain expanded storage capacity, incorporating state-of-the-art machinery etc.

Thanks to his visionary leadership, the company continues to experience steady growth. Today, it boasts seven warehouses in Peer Karadia village along with state-of-the-art processing lines and a NABL accredited QC lab and additional processing locations across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana etc. Strategic partnerships enable operations from these locations, fueling expanded reach.

Some remarkable industry transformations introduced by him:

Introducing HDPE
Shri RK Jain pioneered a transformative shift in the seed industry by introducing High-Density Polypropylene (HDPE) bags for seed packaging, replacing traditional jute bags. Despite facing numerous challenges, his visionary initiative revolutionized the industry, yielding remarkable success that we witness today.
His vision also led to establishing a Research and Development Division, recognizing the need for high-yielding, disease-resistant seed varieties to advance the seed business. This division was staffed by esteemed scientists formerly with ICAR Delhi, reflecting his dedication to innovation and quality.
He often shared the inspiration behind Eagle Seeds’ name, drawing parallels with the majestic eagle. Just as the eagle soars to great heights while maintaining sharp vision, precisely targeting its goals, we too must cultivate foresight to achieve our objectives with precision and clarity.
A notable aspect of his legacy is the long-standing relationships he fostered with organizers, vendors and partners. Even years later, many remain committed to the company, crediting Jain Sir for their success and acknowledging the profound impact he had on their lives and careers.

Guided by his foresight in the seed industry, he prioritized commitment, honesty, hard work, and sincerity. These values propelled the company to become a leading player in India within a remarkably short period.

Beyond his seed business endeavors, he contributed to societal development by establishing a school in his hometown which provides education to more than 1600 students.

Referred as “Father of seed industry” He was conferred the prestigious “Udhyog Ratna Award” in the year 2003 by Government of India. His perseverance, patience, devotion and hard work will always be an inspiration for us.
