PRAFUL GANPATRAO HELODE
FOUNDING DIRECTOR
Born in the rain-parched region of Vidarbha, Praful rose through determination, resilience, and an unwavering spirit to become a dynamic and enterprising agriculturist. Starting his journey as a small-scale farmer, he steadily expanded into fruticulture and established himself as one of the largest producers and suppliers of watermelon saplings across the Vidarbha belt of Maharashtra.
Over the years, Praful successfully diversified into vegetable farming, thriving in the cultivation of green chilies, cabbages, broccoli, and pumpkins. His company, Dwarka Hi-Tech Agro, was honoured with the prestigious *Udyan Pandit Award* in 2018 — one of Maharashtra’s highest recognitions for excellence in agriculture. He is also among the leading suppliers of white pumpkins, contributing to the production of the renowned Petha sweet.
Driven by a vision to explore beyond agriculture, Praful began nurturing his creative ambitions and became an integral part of Sputnik Films. With exceptional business acumen and a relentless “never give up” attitude, he plays a vital role in guiding the company’s financial strategies, cost dynamics, and long-term growth vision.
Praful strongly believes in the philosophy:
“Fight for your dreams… and your dreams will fight for you.”
