Greensat has recently raised undisclosed funds with the help of FundTQ. This round is a part of an ongoing round of $2mn.

Greensat, founded by Mr. Deepak Yadav and based in Mumbai, India, started its mission to contribute to the largest sector of the country, i.e. the agricultural sector. With proprietary AI algorithms, the company processes and analyses the data provided by satellite and provides user-friendly insights to farmers. With descriptive and suggestive insights, GreenSat has shown its needs in the sector. 15K+ farmers are using the app and are satisfied with the information provided on it. The app provides weather forecasts, the latest agricultural norms, crop growth stage analyses, and pest detection based on environmental factors. The app’s major feature, however, is illness diagnosis using computer vision. A farmer only needs to point their smartphone’s camera at a crop, and the software identifies and addresses any illness that may be present in seconds. This is extremely beneficial since many illnesses appear to farmers to be the same, and incorrect treatment might result in crop loss.

With the fresh capital, GreenSat plans to scale up operations in new geographies, enhance its tech infrastructure, build high-performance teams across functions, and focus on other business development activities. “India’s agricultural sector has immense potential for growth. GreenSat has rightly taken the step and excellently come up with a brilliant app. The company also came up with crop sales, insurance, and loans.
