Chaturvedi began his career in the potato industry in 2005, after returning from the USA and joining Frito-Lay India. He went on to hold leadership roles across South Asia, the Middle East and Africa, introducing and commercialising several potato chipping varieties.

He helped establish contract farming systems and aeroponics-based minituber production facilities, and advanced agronomic practices through technology transfer. According to his profile, these initiatives reached more than 25,000 potato growers across the region.

Breeding with True Potato Seed

For the past three years Chaturvedi has been associated with Tuberosum Technologies Inc., Canada, where he leads the True Potato Seed (TPS) and conventional clonal breeding programmes.
