Elizabeth Chandraprakash Shrivastava: Aimco Pesticides Limited

Aimco Pesticides has announced the unexpected death of Elizabeth Chandraprakash Shrivastava on 4 September 2025. She was the former Managing Director at Aimco Pesticides, based in Mumbai, India. Shrivastava played a significant role in Aimco Pesticide’s operations and strategic initiatives, serving the company for almost five decades. She was also a long-time collaborator and important advocate for the AgriBusiness Global community. She will be greatly missed.

Eric Davis, Chief Commercial Officer for Meister Media Worldwide, publishing company for AgriBusiness Global, says, “Elizabeth was a true professional with an incredible work ethic and a friend to many. She always made time to help, offer expertise and open her network for the betterment of the industry. She was one of my first contacts in the industry 20+ years ago and helped me and the AgriBusiness Global brand on numerous levels. She will be truly missed by all.”

Shrivastava obtained a Master of Arts degree from the University of Mumbai and created a long, respected career in crop protection.

“Elizabeth’s absence has created a significant void in the Indian agrochemical industry,” says Vikram Dutiya, AgriBusiness Global Sales Representative for India. “She was not only the face of the industry in the international market but also a gem of a person whose warmth and professionalism touched everyone she interacted with. Her legacy of building strong, genuine relationships will continue to inspire us all.”
