Bankai Ventures, HariBol Build ISKCON-Based Food Chain with AI, Blockchain

US-based Bankai Ventures and Indian food brand HariBol have announced a strategic partnership aimed at creating a technology-powered ethical food ecosystem spanning dairy and non-dairy products. The collaboration seeks to integrate traditional Vedic values with modern digital tools to enhance supply chain transparency and promote ethical sourcing.

Partnership Focus: Combining Technology with Traditional Values

Bankai Ventures, a global technology group specializing in fintech, blockchain, and AI solutions and operating in over 100 countries, is expanding its focus into social impact ventures. Through this partnership, Bankai plans to apply its expertise in digital infrastructure and AI to strengthen HariBol’s supply chain traceability and farmer empowerment initiatives. 

HariBol, a food innovation company inspired by the principles of ISKCON and the doctrine of Ahimsa (non-violence), works closely with rural farming communities to promote cruelty-free, sustainable practices.

Ethical Practices in Dairy and Non-Dairy Segments 

In the dairy sector, HariBol supports farmers by providing AI- and IoT-based health monitoring systems for cows and bulls at no cost, ensuring animal welfare and longevity. In the non-dairy segment, the company maintains traditional methods such as water-milling grains and cold-pressing oils, prioritizing purity and ecological balance.

Role of Technology in Enhancing Transparency

The partnership aims to develop a transparent ecosystem that tracks products from farm to consumer, ensuring ethical standards throughout the supply chain. Bankai Ventures will contribute by deploying AI and blockchain technology to facilitate this transparency, while HariBol continues its engagement with farmers and adherence to ethical food principles rooted in Vedic teachings.

Ami Brahmbhatt, Co-Founder of Bankai Ventures, commented on the partnership's alignment:

"Innovation achieves its highest purpose when paired with empathy. HariBol embodies a spiritually conscious food system where technology fosters compassion. We’re proud to support a movement where every product reflects transparency, responsibility, and care."

Spiritual Insights on Ethical Food Practices

Gauranga Das, member of ISKCON’s governing body commission, reflected on the spiritual foundation of the initiative by citing ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada:

"Milk is a religious principle, a miracle food given by the cow—the most important animal in human society. Yet today, milk purity is compromised with additives like powder and urea, which diminishes its sacred effect. If this was a concern decades ago, we must seriously question the state of milk now."

HariBol’s Product Range and Commitment to Traceability

HariBol offers a range of ethically sourced products including DNA-verified A2 cow milk and ghee, cold-pressed oils, ready-to-eat meals, and sustainably grown groceries. All products come from cruelty-free farm systems and emphasize transparency and ethical sourcing. Yachneet Pushkarna, CEO & Director of HariBol, explained the impact of the collaboration:

"Our partnership with Bankai Ventures deepens our shared commitment to integrity and social impact. By providing farmers free access to AI tools and ensuring transparency throughout the supply chain, we allow consumers to witness every step—from soil and seed to cow and kitchen."

Towards a Data-Driven Ethical Food Industry

This collaboration represents an effort to introduce data-driven transparency and sustainable practices within India’s food sector, combining spiritual and ethical values with technological innovation. By leveraging technology, the partnership seeks to foster greater consumer trust and strengthen rural and animal welfare commitments aligned with Vedic principles.
