Agriculture & AgriTech

AI for agriculture that reaches farmers in their own language.

We embed engineers inside AgriTech platforms, FPOs, input companies, food processors, and dairy co-ops for 4 weeks walk fields, shadow extension officers, read call-centre recordings, map every FPO and mandi relationship. Then we ship multilingual, low-bandwidth AI every month. 3.2x farmer advisory reach at the same cost is not a slide it is what an input company measured in 120 days.

Root Causes

Why most AgriTech AI platforms don't cross the Kisan last mile

Urban UX was dropped on a rural user

English-first apps with 30MB bundles on 2G networks. The farmer downloads once, gives up, never returns. Adoption stays below 5%.

Advisory is generic, not farm-specific

Blanket spraying calendars ignore per-farm soil, variety, and weather. Input wastage and resistance rise. Farmers stop trusting the advice.

Field officers were treated as reporters

The tool was built for HQ, not the FO. Data entry takes 40 minutes a day. FO adoption collapses. Ground truth disappears.

Data never flows back to the farmer

Satellite insights, soil tests, and buyer prices are hoarded by the platform. Farmer trust, the one asset that matters, is never built.

Reality Map

What your team actually says.

"My 40 FOs cover 12,000 farmers. I need 30,000."

Head of Extension

"Crop-loss claims arrive after the loss."

Crop Insurance Ops

"Our advisory is generic. Plot-level is too expensive."

Agronomy Lead

"FPO pricing is reactive. We take mandi spot."

FPO Director

"Rural app install-to-active rate is 4%."

Head of Product

"Agri-loan NPAs are up. Cropping-pattern signals are unused."

Rural Lending Head

The 9AI Model

Four pillars. Translated for AgriTech.

01

An Engineer Inside the Field

Our Forward Deployed Engineer walks fields, sits with FPO boards, shadows FOs on 2-wheelers, and listens to helpline calls. They understand why Marathi-speaking onion farmers in Nashik don't trust the Hindi-language sowing nudge.

02

Rural-Grade R&D

Our Research Engineers run 2-week sprints on low-bandwidth UX, voice-first design, offline-first data sync, and regional-dialect models so the solution works on a Jio 4G handset in a Moradabad village, not just in a Bangalore pilot.

03

A Working Release Every 30 Days

Mid-month pilot with one FPO cluster. End-of-month rollout to a region. Every release is measured on farmer-reach, advisory-act-on rate, and NPS not installs.

04

We Own the Reach & Yield Number

We don't bill hours. Every month you get delta on advisory reach, intervention timeliness, FO productivity, input conversion, and (where tracked) yield and price realisation. If the numbers aren't moving, you'll know.

The 4-Week Audit

What happens in the first 30 days.

1
Week 1

Field Walk & Data Inventory

Our engineer walks fields, sits with FPOs, shadows FOs, and audits your helpline. Maps farmer records, FO apps, satellite data, soil labs, and buyer ERPs.

2
Week 2

Rural UX & Data-Flow Mapping

Bandwidth, language, literacy, and device constraints documented. Data-flow from lab to farmer and farmer to buyer mapped.

3
Week 3

AI Opportunity Scoring & Mockups

Each opportunity scored by reach impact, ₹ impact, feasibility, and data readiness. Mockups tested with farmers and FOs in the field.
