Our Founders

Elixir Farms is the vision of a family deeply rooted in science, service, and the soil.

Dr. Neelam Srivastava, a Ph.D. in Biochemistry (specialization in Agriculture), devoted over three decades as a scientist at PCRI, Haridwar, specializing in pollution control and environmental conservation. Her lifelong commitment to sustainability and purity now finds new expression through Elixir Farms — nurturing the land to produce pure, wholesome food for the people of Haridwar, while continuing her mission of giving back to the community.

Mr. P.K. Srivastava, a B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering, served BHEL for over four decades, leading projects across research, manufacturing, and CSR initiatives. His decades of experience in organizational excellence and social responsibility laid the foundation for Elixir Farms' ethical and community-driven approach.

Their daughter, Juhi Srivastava, carries their legacy forward. A B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering from the Allahabad Agriculture Institute and an M.Tech in Machine Vision from the University of Arkansas, USA, Juhi brings a global perspective to Elixir Farms. After working in the U.S., she returned home to blend technology with tradition, introducing modern farming innovations such as nethouse and polyhouse cultivation that define Elixir Farms today.

Coming from an agricultural lineage, the Srivastava family always felt a deep connection to the land. Their shared vision — to revive rural livelihoods, empower local communities, and grow with purity and purpose — gave birth to Elixir Farms in Haridwar, where faith, science, and sustainability flourish together.

Every drop of Elixir Farms began with a dream — a dream shared by two retired professionals who found new meaning in the soil of Haridwar, the city where the sacred River Ganges meets the foothills of the Himalayas.

After years of professional life dedicated to people and progress, we yearned to create something that truly gave back — to the land, to the community, and to ourselves. We returned to nature, guided by the belief that purity is both a blessing and a responsibility.

The legend says that a drop of Amrit — the Elixir of Life — fell into the Ganges at Haridwar, sanctifying its waters forever. That drop inspired our name and our purpose. Every cucumber we grow, every rose we nurture, every guava we harvest carries that spirit of renewal and purity.

Elixir Farms is not just a farm — it's our way of cultivating gratitude, balance, and beauty.
