Innoterra is positioning India as the cornerstone of its global growth strategy, unveiling a new dual-leadership model with the appointment of Avinash Kasinathan as Group Co-CEO. The agri-tech firm aims to accelerate innovation and international expansion, leveraging India’s dynamic agri-food ecosystem as a launchpad for scaling its farmer-centric solutions worldwide.
Swiss-Indian agri-tech and food platform Innoterra has promoted Avinash Kasinathan to the role of Group Co-Chief Executive Officer, underscoring India’s rising role as a driver of the company’s global expansion and innovation strategy. Kasinathan will now share leadership with Group CEO Pascal Foehn, focusing on accelerating capital market readiness, deepening agri-tech partnerships, and scaling sustainable supply chain ecosystems across 17 countries.
The move comes as Innoterra positions itself for a potential public listing within the next three years. Kasinathan, who previously led the company’s India operations, played a pivotal role in landmark deals such as the acquisition of Fasal’s distribution business and a $40 million partnership with Milky Mist. His elevation reflects the company’s strategic shift from being India-enabled to India-driven, leveraging India’s digital infrastructure, regenerative agri-models, and innovation capabilities as a springboard for global growth.
Foehn hailed Kasinathan as a “visionary operator” with a strong execution track record, as the company doubles down on FPO engagement, traceability tech, and farmer-first solutions in its next growth phase.
