How Salam Kisan Is Pioneering The Indian Agritech Boom With Its Farming Drones

SUMMARY

Founded in 2022 by Dhanashri Mandhani, Salam Kisan is an end-to-end agritech startup, which offers services like drone-based soil testing, produce procurement, and marketplace offerings, to the farmers

As a bootstrapped startup, Salam Kisan kick-started its journey with a preliminary investment of $2 Mn. It today has a user base of more than 160,000 farmers across 35 districts

Also, with drones as one of its key services, the startup eyes a juicy share of the market that, as per Inc42’s analysis, is expected to become a $13 Bn market opportunity by 2030

Nearly five decades ago, India opened its eyes to the dawn of the green revolution with the adoption of high-yielding variety of seeds, mechanised farm tools, pesticides, and fertilisers. Consequently, the country was able to cull widespread hunger and poverty and move from importing grains to a state of self-sufficiency.

Today, we are on the cusp of another green revolution in the agriculture space and leading this from the front are the country’s agritech startups armed with an artillery of sophisticated drones, deeptech expertise and more.
