The Morning Standard
|June 30, 2023
SEVEN years after he took on the mantle of building a world-class skills ecosystem for the state's youth, renowned tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Subroto Bagchi on Thursday stepped down as chairman of Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) citing personal reasons.

Invited by CM Naveen Patnaik in 2016, Bagchi had agreed to helm OSDA and harmonise various skill initiatives of the state government with an aim to create employable skills for 1.5 million youth by 2024.

Flavour Factory
In 2018, Raipur brothers Akash and Ashish Agrawalla founded ZOFF Foods—short for “Zone of Fresh Foods”—with a bold idea: revive the forgotten aroma of Indian spices using zero-human-touch processing and cool grinding technology. Early skeptics were silenced when a Delhi retailer toured their fully automated, dust-free plant and came away impressed. ZOFF now employs a workforce that is 70 per cent from Chhattisgarh, with senior leaders choosing Raipur over metro cities. Its spices travel far beyond the state, reaching homes across India and even the Middle East. Running a business from a Tier II city, CEO Akash admits, has its hurdles—limited packaging vendors, testing labs, and slower freight timelines—but the benefits are clear: lower costs, access to fresh raw materials, and a community that celebrates their growth as its own.
