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.
