With profound grief and deep respect, we remember Late Shri Nissar Ahmed, Honorary Trustee of IPEMA–Poultry India, and Managing Director of Azra Poultry Equipment, Bangalore, who passed away on 17th September 2025 at the age of 80. A true pioneer and visionary entrepreneur, Shri Nissar Ahmed dedicated over six decades to the Indian poultry industry. As the founder of Azra’s Poultry Equipment, he revolutionized poultry housing by introducing battery cages for layers and breeders in open-house systems—an innovation that continues to define poultry production standards across India.
His fearless leadership, integrity, and contribution to industrial reforms were unmatched. He fought courageously for fair regulation, even taking a landmark case to the Supreme Court of India that benefited the entire poultry equipment sector. He was a man of humility and generosity, sharing his expertise freely and urging farmers to nurture their flocks with care and passion.
In recognition of his lifelong service, IPEMA–Poultry India conferred upon him the “Legend – Poultry India” Award at the 14th Poultry India Expo in 2022. Even at 80, he remained devoted to innovation, working on the next generation of broiler cages—a true testament to his enduring spirit. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, especially Mr. Shakir Ahmed and Mr. Zakir Ahmed, and celebrate a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
