Tirupathi Agro made a statement to reach out to international markets by joining the AGIF
Tirupathi Agro, a Bengaluru-based leader in sustainable turf management, has become the first Indian company to join the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF)— signaling its intention to reach out to new markets overseas.

Their expertise spans golf, cricket, and public landscapes, including working with state cricket associations to enhance outfield quality.
“Joining the Asian Golf Industry Federation is a proud milestone for us,” said Rohit Khatod, Managing Director. “As the first Indian company to become a member, we see this as an opportunity to collaborate with global leaders, share regional knowledge, and drive sustainable turf practices across Asia. Our focus has always been on delivering science-backed, organic solutions that improve soil health and surface performance.”
