International Development Enterprises India (IDEI) founded by Amitabha Sadangi in 1991.  He realized that small farmers in India ‘had traditional knowledge but exposure to newer ideas, farming practices, and most importantly, access to technologies that are cost effective, gender friendly, easy to operate and maintain are missing.’ These farmers, if made aware of the life-changing potential of such practices, products and technologies, could be the best customer for them. In 2001, IDEI became independent and started charting its own course.

Vision of IDEI is to provide long-term solutions to poverty, hunger and deprivation.

Mission is to improve equitably the social, economic, and environmental conditions of families in need with special emphasis on the rural poor by identifying, developing, and disseminating affordable, appropriate and environmentally sustainable solutions through the market forces.

IDEI works with the goal to:

1. Make affordable, high-quality food readily available to the rural poor by boosting agricultural productivity and enhancing the nutritional quality of vegetable crops;
2. Promote rural income growth by making smallholder agriculture more competitive and market oriented through improvements in agricultural value chains;
3. Increase water productivity in agriculture;
4. Provide the means to make a more intensive and competitive agriculture both environmentally sustainable and climate smart.
