Digitilization of Agriculture Conference

Privileged to provide my thoughts on IOT and Artificial Intelligence in "Digitilization of Agriculture" at India Habitat center, New Delhi in front of eminent dignitaries of Agriculture. Keeping in mind the immense potential in digitalization of agriculture in India and the need to engage all stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges, Conference invites ministers, policy makers, IT solution providers, agribusiness companies, academicians & researchers, entrepreneurs and progressive farmers to participate in the conference. Conference is to
·  Promote IT in Agriculture to enhance farmers’ income
·  Encourage technology enabled partnership among various stakeholders for benefiting farming communities
·  Project government policies and initiatives to popularize IT in agriculture


·  Showcase latest  Digital Technology Platform and Success Stories

This event provide a platform for companies to showcase their technologies, innovations and discuss over strengthening Information and Communication Technologies(ICTs) in agriculture and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted (localized) information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable socially, economically and environmentally. The event highlights innovative solutions developed by start-ups and companies for development of agriculture and food sectors.


I had a great time speaking about usage of Internet of Things(IOT) and Artificial Intelligence. Agriculture has its deep roots from the inception of human to its present day. Since the early age of humanity till date, agriculture has become the oldest and most vibrant area focusing on food supply. Technologies exist right now to help farmers take informed decision. Need of an hour is to educate farmers and avail these technologies at low cost, scale up high so we can roll it out to larger masses. I have also written an article about Life in Agri business with emerging technologies. In coming post, I would be sharing it soon
