Farmwise AI, a Chennai-based startup, is turning heads after founder Anand Vetrivel met Prime Minister Modi at the yellow Chennai Metro Line launch.
Its big idea? Using AI and GIS technology to help farmers solve real-time problems, like predicting crop type and crop growth state from satellite images.
While it started in agriculture, Farmwise now also works on water management, mining, and urban planning.
Farmwise maps 40 million+ Tamil Nadu plots
It has already mapped more than 40 million land plots in Tamil Nadu with 97% accuracy, a huge step for smarter farming.
Now it is expanding into Telangana and teaming up with partners like AI Singapore and Amazon Web Service for even bigger GeoAI projects.
With a remote farmland verification pilot project for agricultural lending with Karur Vysya Bank, supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), and talks underway with the Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh government, Farmwise is aiming to bring its smart solutions to more farmers across India.
