Journey of Farmonaut® in 2022 - A Bootstrapped - Profitable - Self Sustainable - High Growth - Agritech Startup
This year has been an exciting journey for us. From having farmers and business clients in India in 2019 to having them in 11 different countries, we surely have come a long way!
We have helped 100,000+ farmers and monitored 1 Million+ hectares of farmland worldwide! We are assisting companies like Godrej Agrovet Limited, ITC Limited, Coromandel International Limited, Troforte Innovations (Australia), Fashion For Biodiversity (Germany), Textile Technologies Group (Uzbekistan), LinxAg (Nigeria) and so many more!
Through Farmonaut platforms (android, iOS or web-app) farmers and businesses can select fields and identify the regions of the fields at which the crop condition (growth, water stress, soil health) is not normal. They can also use our API to provide satellite data to their user base.
They also receive vegetation water stress, evapotranspiration, and soil organic carbon data on top of the weather forecast data from the nearest weather station. We provide uninterrupted satellite data even during cloudy weather through radar sensors. (https://farmonaut.com)

WhatsApp-Based Satellite Advisory
We have launched a WhatsApp Based Satellite Advisory through which farmers are receiving crop health and irrigation-related intelligence directly on their WhatsApp every 5 days. This new reporting system brings more inclusivity and further assists in the democratization of Farmonaut®'s Satellite-Based Crop Health Monitoring System and its benefits.
Automated Crop Area Estimation
Farmonaut® has made crop area estimation super easy, quick, automated, and highly scalable! Our systems can estimate crops and their sown area from anywhere around the world directly through our web platform itself! Using this system, we have estimated Cotton Area in various districts in Maharashtra in this ongoing season (Aurangabad, Wardha, Amravati, Parbhani, Nanded, and Nagpur) with fairly high accuracy. This system has done area estimation for paddy in several districts of MP and Bihar as well. The Area estimation for several crops and plantations such. We have already received Crop Area Estimation Requests from various international locations.
The year 2023 is going to be filled with more excitement and will have more milestones to achieve. We thank everyone who has been a part of this journey and has shown support for our work. From the entire team of Farmonaut, we wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2023!
