The Startup aims towards bringing a technological revolution in the Agri machinery segment. Through strategic investments and concerted efforts in research and development, as well as streamlining manufacturing processes, the goal is to provide top-notch products at a reasonable price for the farming community. The team has pinpointed a significant yet unresolved issue in the land preparation process, namely soil compaction and trampling from repeated tractor passes over the field. After studying soil mechanics and observing farmers' land preparation practices, the team devised a solution in the form of a multifunctional tractor retrofit, branded “cultivators." Rigorously tested in challenging conditions, the product successfully mitigates soil compaction while delivering additional benefits to farmers.

The Startup is designing and automating the agriculture industry with a mission to increase the average income of our farmers by increasing their crop yields. We are coming up with our product IoT Controlled AgriBoT with Field Monitoring System where IoT Controlled AgriBoT is an Agriculture specific Robot mechanism that will perform Agriculture field operations simultaneously. Operated in automatic or manual mode, which will be controlled using IoT, based Android application, which will take further by the Field Monitoring System. The farmer will get benefits of the product to multiply their productivity as it gives advantages such as
-larger field ready at a limited time duration,
-reduction of dependencies on human labour,
-Multiple cultivations in the year.
