I chose this role at Agribid because it allows me to create technology solutions from the ground up. What excites me most is that our innovations are not just about business growth, but about touching farmers’ lives and improving their income by reducing operating costs, even if the change begins with a single rupeeDhiraj Ranka
At Agribid , Ranka wears multiple hats – leading product development, embedding security by design, and ensuring the scalability of platforms that connect farmers, buyers, and stakeholders. Unlike his earlier corporate role, this move puts him closer to the product lifecycle and allows him to influence technology at the grassroots level.At TATA AIG, Ranka played a pivotal role in strengthening the organization’s cybersecurity framework, driving regulatory compliance and embedding risk management practices that supported business growth. He also focused on improving incident response capabilities and promoting cyber risk awareness across the company. “The discipline of balancing innovation with compliance and security is something I am bringing into this role as well,” he notes, underscoring how his past experience continues to shape his approach.
His immediate priority is to establish a robust and secure technology backbone for Agribid, while also assembling a talented team that can deliver innovation at scale. Looking ahead, his vision is to position the company as a trusted, technology-driven partner in agriculture – leveraging AI/ML for predictive insights, integrating sustainability into solutions, and creating tangible benefits for farmers and partners alike.

Agriculture in India is undergoing a transformation, with technology playing a crucial role in improving efficiency, access, and sustainability. Ranka sees Agribid as a platform where his expertise can make a measurable difference. “The idea of using technology to solve real problems in agriculture inspired me a lot,” he reflects.
By blending his deep security background with a passion for product building, Ranka is charting a path that goes beyond safeguarding systems toward enabling growth, resilience and empowerment in one of India’s most vital industries.
