Founded in 2018 in Bengaluru, Karnataka, Satyukt is on a mission to revolutionize the agricultural sector by using satellite data and advanced technology to empower farmers and agricultural stakeholders worldwide.
Co-founded by Dr. Sat Kumar Tomer and Dr. Yukti Gill, this agri-tech startup addresses the pressing challenges of modern farming.
It offers innovative, sustainable solutions that leverage satellite-based monitoring, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).
Satyukt aims to increase farm productivity, enhance crop management, and provide reliable insights into soil health, water usage, and pest management through its suite of tools and services.
Data-Driven Agriculture
In an era of climate change, diminishing resources, and the increasing demand for food production, farmers face several challenges.
These include inconsistent weather patterns, declining soil health, inefficient irrigation practices, and rising input costs.
Traditional farming methods, often reliant on manual data collection, are inadequate for addressing these modern complexities.
The agricultural sector is in dire need of precise, real-time data to make informed decisions and ensure sustainability.
Satyukt was born out of this need to digitize agriculture and provide stakeholders with reliable, actionable insights.
By harnessing satellite technology and combining it with AI, big data analytics, and ML, Satyukt offers solutions that help farmers, agricultural enterprises, financial institutions, and insurance companies make informed decisions to increase productivity and sustainability.
From Concept to Global Reach
Satyukt’s journey began with a bold vision to democratize satellite data for agriculture.
Co-founder Dr. Sat Kumar Tomer, a scientist with expertise in remote sensing and microwave data, saw the immense potential of satellite technology in addressing the agricultural sector’s challenges.
Along with Dr. Yukti Gill, a marketing and sales expert, they embarked on a mission to bring space-based data down to earth, making it accessible to even smallholder farmers.
Starting in India, Satyukt rapidly expanded its footprint globally, now operating in 53 countries and providing services in 18 languages.
To date, the company has analyzed over 404,029 acres of farmland, covering more than 90 crops.
The key to this expansion has been its ability to offer user-friendly, real-time insights through platforms like Sat2Farm and Sat4Agri.
These platforms provide farmers and agricultural enterprises with satellite-based data that is critical for crop health monitoring, soil moisture estimation, pest and disease forecasting, and even risk assessment for crop insurance.
Leveraging Satellite-Based Solutions
Satyukt’s innovative solutions revolve around satellite remote sensing technology, which allows for non-invasive, accurate monitoring of farms on a global scale.
Their flagship products, Sat2Farm and Sat4Agri, are designed to transform the way farming is done by making satellite data easily accessible to all stakeholders in agriculture.
Sat2Farm
Sat2Farm is a mobile and web application that provides real-time precision farming information.
It offers a range of features, including satellite-based soil health assessments, pest and disease forewarning, weather forecasts, and crop health monitoring using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).
Farmers can also access crop calendars, soil moisture estimates, and irrigation advisories, making it a comprehensive platform for farm management.
Sat4Agri
Sat4Agri, a web application designed for large-scale agricultural enterprises, provides detailed reports on crop stages, acreage estimation, crop classification, and yield predictions.
It allows stakeholders to track crops from sowing to harvest, optimizing resource use and enhancing productivity.
Sat4Risk
Sat4Risk focuses on expert risk assessment for both farms and properties.
This tool analyzes flood and drought risks, rainfall patterns, and vegetation health, providing risk scores that can aid in farm monitoring and property investment decisions.
For insurance companies, this is an invaluable resource for assessing risks and preventing losses.
Carbon Credit MRV Solution:
Satyukt has also ventured into climate action with its MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) platform for carbon credits.
By using satellite-based data, the platform monitors soil organic carbon (SOC) levels and carbon sequestration, helping businesses verify their greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
This digital MRV solution offers improved accuracy, efficiency, and transparency, and does not require physical site visits, making it a game-changer in the carbon credit market.
Empowering Farmers and Promoting Sustainability
Satyukt’s solutions are making a tangible impact across the agricultural ecosystem.
Farmers now have access to real-time data that helps them monitor their crops, predict pest infestations, and optimize irrigation schedules.
By using satellite-based soil moisture and nutrient level analysis, they can ensure better crop yields while reducing input costs.
Agricultural enterprises benefit from large-scale monitoring tools, which allow for better resource allocation and improved supply chain management.
In addition to boosting farm productivity, Satyukt’s services also play a crucial role in promoting sustainability.
Their carbon credit MRV solution helps businesses offset their carbon emissions by accurately quantifying reductions in greenhouse gases.
This not only helps companies meet environmental regulations but also contributes to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
Leading the Digital Agriculture Revolution
Satyukt’s mission to digitize agriculture aligns with the global movement towards more sustainable, technology-driven farming practices.
The company’s R&D team continues to innovate, developing new algorithms and tools that integrate microwave and SAR satellite data.
This allows for all-weather crop health monitoring and precise agro-hydrological data, even in remote regions.
Looking ahead, Satyukt aims to expand its reach further, providing its innovative solutions to millions of farmers across the world.
By continuing to harness the power of satellite data and advanced technology, Satyukt is well-positioned to lead the digital revolution in agriculture, making farming more efficient, productive, and sustainable.
