        He belonged to a farming family and visited many agricultural lands to discover that infrastructure was low, and the farmer’s yield was quite poor.

        So, they renamed Aigro Labs LLP to AIGROEDGE Technologies, and was incubated by MeitY-backed Electropreneur Park in December 2019.
        AIGROEDGE is a deeptech startup that enables precision farming through smart IoT sensory systems, data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
        The co-founders say, “Our vision is to create easily accessible and affordable smart agritech solutions for specialised agriculture.”
        AIGROEDGE has built a proprietary intelligent farming kit, which includes an Internet of Things (IoT) based sensory device known as ‘KRASHAK’ and a SaaS-based analytics platform called AgriVitals.
        To grow a plant effectively, you have to regulate the agri vitals properly,” explains Mayank.
        The Delhi-based startup monitors environmental, soil, and geographical parameters in real-time by deploying multiple sensor nodes across agricultural fields.

        Further, AIGROEDGE’s custom sensing solution can quickly adapt to varied farming needs, thus enabling speed-to-market, which is critical in season-specific agricultural projects.
        AIGROEDGE operates on a B2B model; its customers include farms and agritech firms, genetic and plant breeding companies, and government and farm finance providers.
        The startup looks to sell 10,000 KRASHAK devices, and deploy its sensors across 500 acres of agricultural land by the end of this year.
        “We’re also talking to a few clients in

        Germany

        and other parts of Europe to license our sensing technology and sell the IoT devices as a white-label solution,” Mayank reveals.
