About
CultYvate is a precision agriculture technology company that empowers farmers through data-driven irrigation and sustainable farming solutions. Our core innovation lies in the deployment of IoT-enabled smart irrigation systems that optimize water use, enhance soil health, and improve crop productivity.
We work closely with farmers, FPOs, and institutions to implement real-time sensor-based monitoring and autonomous irrigation across crops like paddy and sugarcane. Through our integrated mobile platform, we provide actionable advisories based on soil moisture, weather, and crop cycle data—helping farmers save up to 40% water and reduce chemical usage by 25%.
With a mission to make agriculture climate-resilient and profitable, cultYvate is also enabling access to carbon credit programs, ensuring that sustainability translates into tangible income for smallholder farmers. Our impact spans thousands of acres and farming households, positioning us as a leading agri-tech innovator transforming conventional farming into intelligent, sustainable agriculture.
Key Benefits
Our ideal customers are small to medium-sized sugarcane farmers , battling water scarcity and high costs, and sugar mills seeking sustainable supply chains. We engage our target customers through partnerships with agricultural extension services, cooperatives, and sugar mills to conduct field trials, scaling from 50 to 100 acres within a year. Our strategy includes:
- Establishing an agripreneur-driven model and implementing a 5-stage approach (soil enrichment to mechanized harvesting) to boost yields from 40 to 70-75 tons per acre.
- Offering subscription-based analytics and dashboards, (with drones, IoT devices, and analytics) via agri-tech service providers.
- We aim to Deploy 10 gateways (each with UPS and pole), covering a 1.5 km radius per cluster and equip each farmer with 1 Pump Controller, 1 Multi-Point Soil Moisture Sensor, and 4-5 valves.
