Welcome to yet another exciting episode of

TAFE presents

MASSEY DYNASTER contest season 2, 2025

yes Sabse bade All rounder ki talaash.

You know, in cricket, we have seen

many comebacks. The main thing is, In life

whoever see success is because they

believe in their dreams and that able to

do the comeback. Isn't that right?

Absolutely. Here we are to witness our

very big comeback story, in our very own

contest.

"Do you think I will fall", by thinking

in this gap last season's top 15 has

top 15 has come again to win.

so with no further delay, let's go ahead

and meet this very very special comeback

contestant. Can we have the AV please?

Hello! I am Avinash Desai. I come from a

village called from Belgaum District

of Karnataka. I am a engineer by degree but

by profession I am a farmer. Its been 8 to

10 years that I quit my job and I am into

farming. I was a contestant in MASSEY

DYNASTER season 1. We were around 15

contestants from all over India and it was

very good experience. we got to meet all

farmers from various parts of India. We

got to meet the TAFFE'S MASSEY

formation team. Last year, in season 1, my

idea was to use the MASSEY DYNA track to

attached it to a patrony with the BTO and

which could help in carry heavier loads and

everything but this was a common approach

but MASSEY DYNASTAR is actually about

making small innovations which help farmers

to gain additional income and provide some

stability to farmers so this time I had a

issue with my own dairy farm. I had issue

with managing the cow dung. So as, so same

thing is the issue with most of the farmers

So , I thought why not do something which

will help me to gain additional income from

this thing. The season one was a very good

experience. When I heard about the season 2,

that was very exciting that I was very

sceptical about being selected this time,

First time is a charm, second time we don't

know so, I just got a new idea I posted it,

when I was selected in the top fifteen, its

a very, I was very excited. I am looking

forward for the second season and hope it

goes very well

That was wonderful. I think Avinash Desai

just proved us that, though you come from

prince family background, you really need

just ideate mind to create some fresh and

new. Absolutely, so lets welcome

contestant number four, Avinash Desai.

So Avinash, you know, I am very happy to

see you. Ask why? Why? So, you have come

from Karnataka, which is the IT capital

of this country. But, you also use to work

in IT and you decided that, NO, " I will

become a farmer". For this, Clapping pls.

Thank you.

So, for your idea, to see it,

we all are excited. Do you want to tell

few words about this? you have this idea

from where you got the inspiration, we

have seen your dairy farm. You got it from

or else. That, Dung manage has been an

issue from always. But, Till the time

contestant, I didn't force for the contest

like, I had to think something different,

out of the box. then I got this idea.

If this contest would not be there, I would

not thought of this. So, when we have

pressure, engineers, we work under pressure.

so, when you get some pressure, we just

think and something comes out of it. Well,

I think wealth from waste is the biggest

need of the hour, no further delay, I think

it time for us to view the AV of the idea.

absolutely, let's go ahead and take a look

at this path breaking idea.

Can we have the AV please

cowdung is the by product of dairy farm.

single cow produce around 10-15 kg

of cowdung per day, if its a high yielding

cow, such as jersey, its around 30-40 kg

of cowdung per day. So the most difficult

part is to handle this cowdung, so most of

farmers. what we do is, we just dump it in

a pile or we make trenches or dump it in a

trench to let it decompose so this, this

path, decomposition takes one year for the

cowdung to decompose completely and into

form manure. if the same is used in a

biodigester, it takes around one month

to decompose. But as farmers we don't, we

don't prefer this biodigester just because

the output is a slurry which is around 70

to 80 percent of water and its very

difficult to handle and it has, we need

glass holding tanks to hold the slurry just

and keep it in its right. So, What I

propose to do is, to use a dewatering

machine to pass this bio digestive slurry

through it and the output would be the

liquid and the solid part, the liquid from

the slurry is extracted and the dry part

would be separate. so, what this machine

does is, it has a very screw pressing side

and a mess outside. so when the slurry pass

through it with this power, the slurry passes

through the mesh, the scroop process the

dry part outside and the liquid get shift

to the mesh and flows down. The machine

has a knob which helps the farmer to set

the output to get the higher moisture or

or the lower moisture in the output dry

product. To, and most of the times these

machines are usually powered by electric

motors which are 5 to which require 5hp to

10 hp of motors. It is prohibited to use

these electric motors on regular power supply.

So the farmers needs to get special permission

to run these machines or he has to set this

up in a farm and operation costs are very

high. Set up cost of this unit is high

So what I propose to do is to run

this modified use machine so that it can

powered by the tough and massive dynamo

so what this makes this unit mobile, it can

be driven anywhere, so the farmer can take

to the place ,anywhere he wants and he can

rent it others farmers who are in need of

I had said cowdung is very difficult to

handle. I myself have gowshala in house.

so we have around 20 cows. The handling

the cowdung is most difficult part of it

so we have to take it and dump it outside

every time and I tried to incorporate a

biodigester but handling the slurry was most

difficult part. We had made a tank actually,

the weight of the slurry was so much that

the tank actually burst and it flow started

flowing out so we cancel the virus and we

started dumping it into pits again. I

around and found that these are something

called a dewatering machine, so we can

actually process the slurry and we can

actually get it dried within minutes which

actually takes a year or something to dry.

So that's why I thought we could devise

this thing and we could rip it through

massive function and we can reuse it. My can

use myself to dewater the slurry in myself?

or is there any farmer who is in need of it

I can just rent it out to him and it can, I

can actually generate some income out of it

Avinash. That was absolutely exciting to

You said you didn't think of how to handle

this and all of a sudden. Due to this

contest you thought you have to find some

solution and you have made it. So our

Judges are ready to ask the questions.

Over to you. So in your Dairy farm, your

family members, you see them like yours

You give them so much love, this I know,

and you must have kept beautiful nick name

you must have kept. I haven't kept any.

Everything is local like local breeds

haven't kept any. this is just for Cowdung

I don't sell the milk or anything. I just

use them for a cowdung to use it in my

in my own Farm. I don't sell anything from

this dairy farm. Oh, wow, ok. so that is

absolutely amazing that the cow dung from

this Farm is only to create a natural

manure for farms. I think that's absolutely

fantastic design. Oh, you're very eager.

It's over to you. So Avinash Welcome back.

Thank you, sir. So you were there last

time, you presented that drain cleaning,

right?That's what you'd presently lesson,

OPT, Operated trailer and fire engine. No,

ambulances fire engine oil. Yes, that was

idea last time. And this time again,

something to do with PTO. And the problem

identified is a real problem because you

don't get labour to handle the cow dung.

So Many people are using the Dozer and they

do it through Dozer, but the way you have

looked at this problem is, how do we use

it for manure. as well as how do we flush

out the hard part of it here? So it's a

good problem to handle. Now, the machine

that you're talking about, you know, the

dewatering pumps are available again,

right? They don't do the same job so I'm

just Curious to know. Why do you feel that?

What you are planning to design will

Do the dewatering pump is normally used to

take out the water from the, you know,

small pots, which get formed during the

rainy season and all. That's where you use

the dewatering pump or maybe in the drains

So why the people anybody has not

thought of something like this? That same

machine can do or need some modification

in this machines. So the dewatering machine

is currently used in sewage treatment

three will treat in large scale or in

in Industries meta like to process the

the sludge that comes out because sludge

it's difficult to handle. So after running

it through it, you get two parts of the one

is the dry, which can be packaged and

disposed of liquid is again recycle. so

So here, what we are doing is, what we get

into Parts, the solid part, which is ,

again manure, which will after drying,

we get that part. But additionally by

getting liquid, this is nothing but liquid

manure organically produced which can be

bottled and sold. So the farmer is actually

generating this too, and he's can sell

both our parts. So what is currently

happened is this. They are used in large

Industries because the minimum, what we can

have quantity, which can be plus, it is one

ton per 1 ton per hour. So installing it

in a fixed place in a farm not feasible.

So we'll be like it is a 10K. It will need

it to run approximately five hours in a

month. So after sowing no farmer would try

to install it but in the same thing, if

it is portable or mobile, we can use it on

the farmer can use it for himself and also

rent it out. So he is, I understand that.

My next question to you would be see these

dewatering pump. By the way, we do

manufacture dewatering pumps, we have

Taffy power, as a company, where we are

Manufacturing the dewatering pumps and we

are supplying in numbers. So but that runs

on a motor. Very small motor. Maybe 5hp

motor that runs on. right. so, why person

will loose a 50HP or of 45HP tractor to run

that dewatering pump. That's my second

question. First thing is, we need to make it

portable. Those are portable all those

machines. These a dewatering pumps are

portable then the requirement current

requirement to run those machines in

villages it's very very hard to find

electricity. Even if we can't run those

machines on household electricity because

it is offense to run those on heavy load,

machine is on household So we need

commercial supply or supplied TC separate

Transformers connection because one farmer

runs this thing the rest of the power will

affected in the village. So when, if it

needs to be economical and portable, it has

to be either towed by a tractor so that we

need a tractor and this Mass Effect2 for

one it consumes around two to three litres

per hour. So if you see, it's around two

two to three hundred rupees per hour. So

So if we go to sell that liquid and

solid manure, the liquid, it can be sold

around 10 Rupees per litre and

the solid. It's seven Rupees is a like

nominal sale price and the same liquid,

if it is processed or if it's sold by

company, they sell upwards of 150 rupees.

So by using this, we are producing liquid

manure locally in a village environment.

So the Dairy Farmer who is profiting from

selling this. So from one cow, he can get

around This thing is 10 to 15 kgs. So 20

kg of slurry output, if we take 15K

litres of liquid and 5 kg 15.He,if he sells

it is getting 150 rupees per cow for in

liquid. The same thing, the it is

bought by local farmers at 10 Rupees per

litre, but if they go to purchase it, it

cost them 150 rupees per litre. So what

mind is if it is generated locally the

the farmer also benefit, the owner also

benefits and the consumer also benefits

from this .Thank you. Avinash and fabulous

idea Thank you sir, In fact, my my question

also is on the similar lines. Why would

you use large tractor to power a smaller

machine. Instead, if it can be stationary

and you have a larger, have you done?

Any business modelling of? You've done

it for yourself but I'm sure in your

village or in your place, you should be

having quite a few guys, who do have

such a similar problem, so if you kind of

aggregate them. So and then if you have a

larger machine because as Mr. Kapoor

you know, there are 5 HP machines, which

are running this and all that stuff. And we

have here, we have massive folks into for

one is of 42 horsepower and then we have a

a 46 horsepower. Massey Ferguson 246 and

and 25 for which is a 50 horsepower. Now,

is there any way that you can do

on a little larger scale with a larger

machine which is more static, okay,

and then you just go and hook up your

machine to that. So that you generate the

whole thing in a little bit more, I am

completely convinced of your arithmetic,

that you said, a cow produces 10 to 15

kilos of cow dung and all that stuff. All

that what you said is, absolutely right,

but if it can be done on a Larger scale,

I believe that the efficiency of the

arithmetic's would work out much better.

What do you feel? So like there's a live

example, I can give you. Its from

Jakaryapura Sakhi Khad Sirkari Mandali

All women cooperatives run by women of

Anand in Gujarat. So, they are three 368

households. So, from the subsidy from

NDDB,they installed this Bio globalisation

Every household they have capacity of

producing 80 litres per day. So what

happens is one tractor comes. They

They procured a slurry every day, take it

to the central processing unit. There it

Dewatered, and reached. And it again, it

it is sold sold. this household, they are

round thousand, two thousand five hundred

rupees per month. So what happens here

is once you start collecting, you have a

collecting this thing, then we have

investment there. We have workers there.

So every step we go on, adding the cost of

the total final selling product. So this

who at last the farmer has to bear that

cost all this processing and whatever

happens. So, So by if we have it locally

all the processing, the same which I said

they sell about 100 rupees under 150 rupee

per kg. So what that this thing is going,

they said if the farmer can procure a 10

Rupees if it is done locally. And it can

like the Dairy Farmers also generating

profit locally. We are promoting organic

If he gives at 10 litres no farmer would

say no to it. The 23 litre can would cost

a hundred rupees 100 to 200 rupees. So

anyone who is using drip irrigation, they

they will use it. Sure, I appreciate the

numbers that you're able to generate and

it's quite a good. Have you done any

physical sample or something? No Sir. I

was hoping we would be and have you also

have you looked at it? Is there going to

to be any difficulty that you think you

might come up with while you're doing this

As an as an idea, it is good. But have

you thought deeper into it? How? What are

the particular critical problems that

you're going to face? With this machine, is

very Simple machine is just for a screw

and mesh, so it's not that difficult to

to the gearbox which we need is a

reduction gearbox. It has to run at 20 to

30 RPM Max. We need torque and not speed.

So we need a 27:1 gearbox or at least

18:1 Gearbox it and get can be rigid or

rubber belt pulley system. So you need a

a 27 RPM for running the dewatering unit.

22 to 30 RPM like max and you do you

and Do you how much is a minimum RPM? That

Diner tracker device for is 540 RPM,

So we need a, But 540 RPM comes at

standard PTSD but there are other RPMs

that we can come. We can even get 42 RPM,

the multiple ratios are available. That is a

classic design of Rhino drive, so but it'll

still be. Yes, you can still get 42 RPMs

but you only have to size them up.

That's the only suggestion I can give and I

do believe, aggregating it on a larger scale.

If you can put a larger machine,

it definitely would work out.Arithmetically

better is what my suggestion. The larger

machines are also available like five tons

per hour processing machines,

but a small farmer would not generate that

much amount of product

so it doesn't make sense for him to buy a

larger machine to do the same work.

it's going to run. Excellent and thank you.

And I'm quite impressed. Rest Avinash.

The second accempt, may this be a, the

good one. The best one for thanks.

Hello Avinash! Hello Sir. It's a brilliant

commercial idea. that's how it sounds for

me. Probably what only Murali Krishnan

Mr kapoor asked the farmer looks at using

the existing asset how to utilize it more

instead of adding an asset. Probably that

way you can also look at it and another one

is that you said it instantaneously dry

the solid waste, right? Yes.

Is that correct? Yes.

And then that means it can be used

even for bio waste, which generate in the

kitchen, right? We can use it a no sir

It has to be in a slurry form.

It cannot meet is not slurry,

but there is a lot of water content

in that. No, it cannot be used for household

waste but it can be used for to dewater

this chicken manure of Piggery waste or any

other sludge form of a thing.

So even poultry industry, they have

degenerate a lot of waste. It's liquid,

it's difficult to handle. So even this can

Used by them to separate it and even

that liquid is high nitrogen.

So even that sells very easily. And another

thing in our plants, we generate lot

of paint waste, which we call it paint

sludge. So we normally dry it, and dry it

and put it on the open ground and using

solar heat just dry. I think if that we can

try this probably instantaneously we can

write as well. And It can. Lastly it

contains 10 to 20 % moisture,

do you need to motivate modify the

dewatering pump? Which is normally

available. No sir, you don't need any

modification. Only the gear, gear ratio gear

gear ratio, you make it because of the RPM.

Yes, Sir. Okay, it's a good idea. I think

commercially viable idea. I think yes and

government is providing subsidies. Actually

providing subsidies for you. Should try what

Mr Kapoor said was we do Tafe power has

dewatering system available, right?

So I will try, excellent, okay good

Avinash I've have couple of questions.

One is you're talking about the liquid

fertilizer. Right? What is the life of that?

How you said the farmers? Can you sell it

out to the farmers and all that? What is

the life? How long can you keep it in?

Storage in. There is no actually deadline

for it. You have to add jaggery or we get

biostimulants. Okay. Once we add that

it gets, it can be stored in any amount of

time. And if it store, it starts getting

constant. Evaporation loss happens. It's gets

me started. So it's gets better and better.

So the longer we store it, the better it

gets so but then that cost of jaggery and

biofuels. I mean biostimulants and all of

that, that will be at an extra cost you

you were saying you sir. That they will be

able to sell it, at 10 Rupees per litre

like anything with I'm a farmer till now.

He is not getting this liquid profit

whatever he's getting is dry waste so

without any of this liquid is going to be

evaporated so he's not generating anything

from it. So by separating it we are

generating additional this thing, 70% of

extra. Okay, so even if this covers is his

feed cost so everything rest of them what

he gets, milk is his profit, right?

And I also wanted to ask you what

is your idea? It you do you think you could,

you will be making these machines and you

know this contraption and you will be

selling it to the Farms or you will make

many of this and you plan to kind of

make it as a mobile unit, the machine.

However, as Society is already available,

we have to make modifications. Yes.

So you will be making modification and

selling this as a unit or We'll be making

many of these in your own farm and taking

it out. And as a cost of use service,

you will be doing a service business model

or a unit sale sales business model. Currently

I'm thinking of service-based, okay? Because

if any farmer or any dairy farm approaches,

we can manufacture where we can make a

modification and give it to them. Yeah,

and last question for you, is you briefly

touched upon it? Have you ever thought

of this as a marketing cooperate. You were

talking. I was just thinking about it and

you mention it. You were talking about

ladies in Gujarat, they have because

they're The Cooperative system is very

strong. So, is there a way, that you can

kind of transform your village by creating

a cooperative and getting all of this

together and they could be a good marketing

cooperative and you help the other farmers

and communities Market these as well.

That's why I so very high possibility and

to for setting up such things, we have

subsidy and NDDP is providing 50% Subsidy

for installation of biogas plants. Okay?

And also it's giving it has given that

which I said for unions have given a sudden

as a rich treasure remark trademark to

sell those fertilizers. So the government

is trying to help and create this such

environments like self-help groups, they

can take up distance. They can

approach and NDDB and they might get, they

can get support from this thing. okay.

thank you so much things. Wonderful idea.

Thank you. well, that question and answer

gave us a lot of awareness on wealth from

waste. You are definitely an inspiration

for people who should not let go of the

the trying Factor, think in life, yes,

Never ever give up on your dreams but

panalysts. Do you have any questions for

our contestants? None whatsoever but

interesting talk is one of the judges were

hmm this is a commercially viable idea is

that means. Is it royal come back?

equals Royal Victory, will have to wait

and watch. Isn't that true ?That's very true

So yes, thank you. Thank you Avinash

Thank you. Thank you judges.

That was quite a lot of information to process

and I think we have a lot of more information

coming down the lane,

with more new power pack episodes,

but with this, we come to the end of episode four,

ladies and gentlemen, this is
