Agrizy elevates Markish Arun to co-founder and CTO to drive global technology expansion

Agrizy, a technology-led Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CRDMO) focused on food, beverages and wellness brands, has elevated Markish Arun to the role of co-founder and chief technology officer, formalising a position he has effectively held since the company’s early days.

Arun brings more than 25 years of experience in building and scaling technology platforms, including multiple tenures as Co-founder and CTO in ventures focused on small and medium-sized businesses. Since joining Agrizy as Head of Engineering and Products, Arun has played a key role in shaping the company’s technology roadmap and product development efforts.

“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,” said Vicky Dodani, Co-Founder & CEO, Agrizy.

In his expanded role, Arun will oversee the company’s end-to-end technology and AI roadmap. This includes scaling its intelligence layer, developing decision-support systems as strategic intellectual property, and building globally traceable supply chain solutions alongside technology-driven quality assurance systems.

“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 built Agrizy’s core product and engineering foundations, including its AI intelligence platform that accelerates NPD and reduces cost-to-market for global food and wellness brands.

He also developed an AI-driven credit engine cutting internal evaluation time by 90%, and led tech-enabled QA pilots across partner processing plants to improve quality consistency, potentially reduce RTOs and avoiding associated carbon emissions.

Markish, a serial entrepreneur, co-founded MagicRooms (later acquired by Yatra), and has been part of the top-level management at Go-ibibo (as Vice President Engineering) and Zoomcar (as CTO); prior to which he held senior level positions at SAP Labs.

Founded in 2021 by Vicky Dodani and Saket Chirania, Agrizy operates as a business-to-business agri-processing platform, offering customised solutions across the processed agrifood value chain.
