SLCM’s CEO, Sandeep Sabharwal, emphasized that these patents underscore the company’s leadership and its ongoing commitment to innovating within India’s agriculture sector. As of the end of March 2024, SLCM manages assets worth ₹10,928.82 crore and operates a vast network of nearly 17,000 warehouses and 36 cold storages across India and Myanmar.
