Bengaluru: Agrizy, a tech-led Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CRDMO) for global food & beverages and wellness brands, has elevated Markish Arun to the role of Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The move formalises his long-standing, founder-level contributions and underscores the company’s focus on building proprietary intelligence infrastructure for the future of food and wellness supply chains.
Markish, who has been associated with Agrizy since its early days, will now anchor the company’s next phase of growth by strengthening its technology and AI-led capabilities on a global scale. With over two decades of experience in building and scaling technology platforms, including multiple stints as Co-Founder and CTO, he brings deep expertise in driving digital transformation across SMB ecosystems.
Since joining Agrizy as Head of Engineering and Products, Markish has played a pivotal role in architecting the company’s core technology stack. His contributions include developing Agrizy’s first product roadmap in 2022 and building the Agrizy-AI intelligence platform, which powers its New Product Development (NPD) engine.
Commenting on the elevation, Vicky Dodani, Co-Founder & CEO, Agrizy, said,“Markish has been with Agrizy since inception, and what he has built here is nothing short of co-foundational. From architecting our AI-led platform to leading high-ownership engineering teams, he has consistently translated complex domain knowledge into scalable, defensible digital infrastructure. As we double down on applied intelligence in food and wellness supply chains, formalising this role ensures the speed, continuity, and technology leadership we need to build a truly enduring institution.”
In his expanded role, Markish will lead Agrizy’s end-to-end technology and AI roadmap, focusing on scaling its intelligence layer, developing decision-support platforms as strategic intellectual property, and enabling global, traceable supply chain solutions. He will also drive platform readiness for technology-led quality assurance at scale.
“Agrizy is entering a phase where technology led infrastructure and proprietary intelligence will define long-term competitive advantage in food and wellness supply chains. The opportunity to build something genuinely foundational where product thinking, domain expertise, and applied AI converge is rare. I am focused on ensuring that the technology we build today becomes a compounding asset for Agrizy’s customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem for years to come” said, Markish Arun, Co-Founder & CTO, Agrizy.
Markish has been instrumental in building Agrizy’s AI-driven product ecosystem, including solutions that accelerate NPD cycles and reduce cost-to-market for global brands. He has also developed an AI-powered credit engine that has significantly reduced internal evaluation time, alongside leading tech-enabled quality assurance pilots across partner processing units.
Prior to Agrizy, Markish co-founded MagicRooms (later acquired by Yatra) and held leadership roles at Goibibo, Zoomcar, and SAP.
