Bengaluru-based agritech start-up Agdhi has received Biotechnology Ignition Grant (BIG) which is a flagship programme of Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council BIRAC. Agdhi has received a grant from BIG for $70,000 for their flagship product, SeedVision- Seed Classifier and Quality Analyser.
SeedVision is an AI-based seed phenotyping method that classifies critical parameters of a seed in a few minutes. The product would help the farmers get good seeds for cultivation and help growers improve the number of cycles because of faster payment realisation from seed companies. The automated technique provides an efficient method for seed sorting compared to manual inspection, and the reports are accessible on a real-time basis.
Vaibhav Kashikar Co-Founder and Director (Marketing) – Agdhi, said, “We are delighted to announce the grant we have received that will support start-ups like us in bringing technology closer to market and help in the commercialisation of the product across India.”
He further added that with a vision to disrupt technology in the agriculture sector, we plan to bring new technologies like blockchain, edge computing, IoT, and microbiology in agriculture.
