Not every revolution is loud. Some begin with a missed call. Connected Harvests traces the quiet rise of mobile phones in India’s rural heartlands; long before “agri-tech” became a buzzword. From the Cauvery delta to the country’s evolving agri-markets, it uncovers how basic phones, SMS alerts, and whispered trust networks reshaped how farmers made decisions, accessed prices, and negotiated power. This book isn’t about forecasting the next big thing. It’s a reflection on what made digital transformation possible in the first place: trust, habit, hesitation, and hope. With real stories, behavioural insights, and field-worn wisdom, Connected Harvests invites readers to rethink how meaningful innovation takes root; not in labs or pitch decks, but in lived experience. At a time when the future is being designed in algorithms, this is a reminder that context still matters. And that true change doesn’t just scale. It listens.

Anish K Ravi
Anish K Ravi is a strategist, author, and consultant with a deep interest in institutional growth, purposeful leadership, and values-driven transformation. With professional roots across both the corporate world and higher education, his work focuses on helping institutions navigate change, drive excellence, and stay relevant in a rapidly evolving landscape. He has authored four previous books; Reimagining Marketing, Winning Digital Way, Brand Mastery, and Reimagining Leadership in Higher Education; each reflecting his belief that meaningful impact stems not just from innovation, but from clarity, context, and a deep understanding of people. His doctoral work took him to the Cauvery delta, where he spent time understanding how something as simple as a mobile phone could shape the way farmers navigated markets and made decisions. But for Anish, research was never just about data; it was about listening. That philosophy continues to guide his writing and consulting practice: that transformation begins by observing people, their rhythms, and the environments they move through. Known for his ability to connect strategy with empathy, Anish works closely with higher education institutions, helping them rethink growth not merely as a metric but as a reflection of intent and integrity. He is also deeply committed to mentoring aspiring professionals and supporting them as they build careers grounded in resilience, curiosity, and self-belief. This book; Connected Harvests is a continuation of that ethos. It invites readers to look beyond dashboards and digital tools, and instead pay attention to trust, behaviour, and the quiet revolutions already underway.
