In 2019, Government College of Engineering Kannur students—Atthri Anand, Vishnu B Raj, and Sayanth NS—participated in an innovation challenge, where they conceptualised a robot to help farmers autonomously remove weeds from crops. “As we explored the problem deeper by interacting with farmers and understanding on-ground realities, we realised that the challenge wasn’t just labour or mechanisation, it was the lack of timely, reliable, and hyperlocal decision-making support,” Anand tells YourStory. Building on that insight, the trio co-founded agritech startup Deepflow Technologies later that year, which utilises AI and deeptech solutions to address critical issues faced by farmers in India. “What started as a robotics idea gradually evolved into a broader mission: using data, intelligence, and automation to empower farmers and supporting stakeholders to make better decisions amid climate uncertainty,” he adds. The Kannur-based startup employs nine people with Anand as CEO, Raj as CTO, and Sayanth as CPO—all residing in Kerala, close to farms, plantations, and field ecosystems. It is incubated at IIM Bangalore’s NSRCEL, which Anand says gives the startup access to mentorship, strategic guidance, and the broader startup ecosystem.Developing an integrated agri-intelligence ecosystemDeepflow’s products are designed as an integrated agri-intelligence ecosystem that combines on-ground data collection with digital decision support for farmers,… Read MoreYourStory RSS Feed
