Our Story
AITST is the brainchild of two visionaries, Mahesh Patel and Arun Tiwari. They came together in 2017 and decided to establish the foundation as a result of a unique synergy. The central concept was to bring technology interventions from India, Arun’s turf, to Africa, where Mahesh has built an agribusiness empire that has at its core the smallholder farmers.
Arun and Mahesh deploy their vast networks, resources and expertise towards bringing key stakeholders together to ideate and design breakthrough projects. While Mahesh is adept at convincing Afrian premieres of the viability of certain projects, Arun leverages his influence amongst Indian ministries, parastatals and civil service landscape. Together, they are a formidable pair who share the same vision and the determination to realise it.
