AgriTech in India has become a booming field with numerous startups working with technologies such as data analytics, machine learning and satellite imaging, among others, enabling farmers to maximise their output. According to a NASSCOM report, the Indian Government specifically supports AgriTech startups through its Startup India program. In 2016, more than 350 AgriTech startups raised $300 million in investment globally, out of which Indian investment accounted for 10 percent.

AgriTech is clearly leading India’s next green revolution. Himanshu Goyal, India sales and alliances leader at The Weather Company said, “IBM sees a ₹5,000 crore opportunity from AgriTech in India over the next five years.”

A clutch of tech incubators in India are also supporting innovation in agriculture, especially in the rural areas.
