History

Mapping The Milestones Of Our Success

Founded in the early 90s, KR LifeSciences emerged with a mission to revolutionize agriculture - India's backbone. A synergistic partnership with the esteemed Agarwal legacy shaped the company. Mr. Atul Churiwal, has been an integral team member since 1984, significantly contributing to its growth and vision from the beginning and being the wing beneath the wings of this organization.

In a world where multiple agrochemical companies have failed to sustain the competition, KR Lifesciences stood the test of time. With our ever-evolving strategies, adapting newer technologies and innovation, and high-quality products, we have established ourselves as a brand trusted and loved by farmers nationwide.

1966

The first factory of KR LifeSciences was started under the able leadership of Late Mr. P. N. Churiwal.  The year also marked a new era for Indian farmers with the introduction of Enderil, a product imported from Shell-bells in the Netherlands. Farmers quickly recognized and appreciated its distinct attributes. Even before the establishment of formal regulations, the company had started venturing into the pesticide market, making it a pioneer and giving them the first-mover advantage.

1973

KR LifeSciences established its second factory in partnership with Mr. L.R. Agarwal. This led to remarkable growth in the agrochemical industry. The collaboration expanded capacities for the company and nearly 1,100 products are supplied across India today. Our commitment to innovation was evident in the introduction of CRO modules, making KR LifeSciences the sole GLP-certified CRO in Eastern India. This forward-thinking approach accelerated product development, reinforcing our dedication to quality and excellence.

1990

Through engagements on ground level, the company realised the marginal farmers of Bengal faced challenges procuring pesticides for their fields. We introduced affordable packages of 20 grams and 100 grams of our products to support them. This move was aimed at meeting their modest budgets and providing accessible options. By doing this, we were able to effortlessly penetrate the market and create a more significant impact on the prosperity of the farmers.

2018

We noticed a significant shortage of high-quality bananas and decided to give it immediate attention. Staying committed to farmer convenience and addressing market needs, we focused on cultivating Banana Mother Plants. By adapting our approach and embracing innovation, we were able to make a positive impact on the banana cultivation sector and provide farmers with a reliable source of top-notch banana plants.

2019

We inaugurated the Seed Division, establishing a processing plant in Bankura. Presently, our Research and Development Center spans 40 hectares in Kalyani, focusing on advancements in seed processing for paddy, mustard, and sesame.

2021

The Bio-Solution Division was started with a facility in Konnagar. Mycorrhiza is now produced in-house and is available in soluble powder, granules, and liquid forms. Additionally, the division produces bio-pesticides such as Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens.

2023

Pheromone facility for different blends was launched. Introducing pheromone traps in pest management reduces usage of chemicals drastically.
