Stephane Pastor, an executive MBA from the US’ Cornell University, also holds four Master’s degrees from the world’s top institutes and universities such as France’s Arts & Metiers ParisTech, Canada’s ETS and Queen’s University.

Pastor has a rich multicultural background on both personal and professional fronts. A French citizen with experience living in eight countries across four continents, he has worked with large companies such as GE and has a proven track record in multiple sectors such as aeronautics, manufacturing, power generation, energy, and oil and gas, in various capacities including sales, services, and project management.
Farmkart is on an expansion spree as the company plans to have pan India footprints within months. The company is also moving towards Series A funding
Before Farmkart, Pastor was with energy service giant Baker Hughes. Earning a high annual income, Pastor wanted to maximise his contributions in an environment where he could make a meaningful difference. “I always dreamt of using my skills and education for emerging fields such as agriculture. I consider this a rare opportunity to positively impact the lives of millions of Indian farmers. The country’s agricultural sector is still largely untapped and Farmkart has strategically positioned itself to be a key player in its digital transformation,” said Pastor.
As COO, Pastor will oversee Farmkart’s global operations and focus on aligning the company’s operational capabilities with its medium and long-term strategy while streamlining the business through impactful process optimisation initiatives. Farmkart is on an expansion spree as the company plans to have pan India footprints within months. The company is also moving towards Series A funding.
