Agro Stubble Management Private Limited, a pioneering startup under Punjab Agri Business Incubator (PABI), Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), has successfully secured trademark registration for its innovative solutions, aimed at managing agricultural stubble. The trademark certificate, issued on MAY 20, 2024, is a testament to the company’s commitment to sustainable agricultural practices and innovation.
Lauding the guidance and mentorship of PABI, Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, Vice-Chancellor, PAU, observed that the successful trademark registration marks a significant milestone for Agro Stubble Management Private Limited. This achievement not only protects the company’s brand identity but also reinforces its market position and legal rights, he said.
Dr TS Riar, Principal Investigator (PI) of PABI, said, “The trademark registration is a remarkable achievement for Agro Stubble Management Private Limited. It reflects the hard work and innovative spirit of the team. The successful thermal conductivity tests further validate the potential of their products in contributing to sustainable agriculture and construction practices.”
The mentorship and support from PABI have been pivotal in guiding the companies through the trademark registration process and product development, observed Dr Poonam Sachdev, Co-PI of PABI.
Er Karanvir Gill, Business Manager at PABI, remarked, “We are thrilled to see Agro Stubble Management Private Limited reach this milestone. This success story serves as an inspiration for other startups in the incubator.” Further, he divulged that this company has also made strides in product development. Recent test results of thermal conductivity measurement performed on the company’s rice stubble board demonstrate its potential as an effective building material, he told.The tests, conducted using the Thermal Conductivity of Building Material Unit (Model No.: H112N) at Thapar University’s Mechanical Engineering Department, yielded promising results, he added. These results highlight the rice stubble board’s efficiency in thermal insulation, making it a viable alternative to conventional materials such as wood, which has a higher thermal conductivity of 0.17 W/mK, he said. This innovation could significantly reduce the environmental impact of building materials and promote the sustainable use of agricultural by-products, he observed.
