Srinivasa Farms

What Srinivasa Farms does

Srinivasa Farms is a Hyderabad-headquartered, privately held Indian poultry company founded in 1965. It operates a vertically integrated business across three primary verticals: poultry breeding (including presumably grandparent and parent stock operations), animal feed production, and animal health and nutrition services. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and has drawn institutional capital from the International Finance Corporation, including a $23 million round in July 2018 and a $9.37 million follow-on in August 2019, indicating active scale-up and modernization investment.

The company's business model rests on internalizing the poultry value chain — from genetics through feed milling to animal health products — which allows it to capture multi-stage margins and hedge exposure to feed commodity volatility (maize and soya, which together can represent up to 70% of poultry production costs). It serves farmer-dealer networks, commercial poultry integrators, and downstream protein customers within India's roughly $30 billion poultry industry, with the broader sector signaling export potential into Gulf, US, Japanese, Vietnamese, and African markets.

Leadership combines founder-family stewardship — Jagapati Rao Chitturi as Board Chairman and Suresh Chitturi as Vice Chairman, Co-Founder & Managing Director — with professional management via CEO Krishna Reddy. This dual structure suggests a transitioning governance model aimed at institutionalizing the business while preserving family control. The company has no publicly disclosed technology stack, customer concentration data, or revenue figures in the available source material, leaving several diligence vectors open.
