Our Story
The Earth Now journey started with a passion and vision to accelerate the adoption of geospatial technology in the agriculture ecosystem! An Information Technology veteran with expertise in GeoSpatial solutions left a leadership role in a company to realize his vision of creating significant social impact in the lives of farmers in distress. He joined like minded friends and started assisting thousands of farmers to adopt carbon farming using organic manure that increased crop yield by 30%. He conceptualized and mentored the ARMS2FARMS initiative that is a unique first of kind initiative in India. He realized that to reach the 120 million farmers and 700+ districts in India there is a need to leverage emerging technologies in geospatial analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
​
It was in the quest for identifying the next generation solutions with proven track record that he go associated with equally enthusiastic and creative tech professional. Together they started dialogue with the research and scientific community and envisioned a unified platform for Agriculture ecosystem with active participation and support by technologists, scientists and professor community. This led to the launch of Agritech venture – Earth Now.
​
Through innovation led research and development, Earth Now has developed an integrated platform using geospatial technology. Along with a core team of technology and domain experts, Earth Now is poised for delivering its unique value proposition for the Agriculture ecosystem in India and overseas.
