Pune-based agri-robotics startup Agrograde ab apni AI technology ko tamatar aur lehsun ki sorting ke liye expand kar raha hai. Manual labour ki jagah ye machines processing cost ko **₹1** se ghata kar seedha **₹0.08** tak laane ka goal rakhti hain.
Tech ka kamaal, costs ka bura haal (in a good way!)
Agrograde ne onion, potato aur arecanut ke baad ab apna focus tomato aur garlic par shift kiya hai. Agle 3 saalon mein inka aim spice market mein entry karne ka hai.
Game-changer math:
Manual sorting mein cost ₹1 per kg tak chali jaati hai, lekin Agrograde ki AI-powered machines ise sirf ₹0.08 se ₹0.10 per kg ke range mein le aayi hain. Sabse badi baat? Jo kaam karne mein din lagte the, wo ab sirf 3 ghante mein ho raha hai!
Kahan hai growth potential?
- Presence: Abhi 130+ machines 14 states mein deployed hain, mainly Maharashtra, Karnataka aur Gujarat ke APMC yards ke paas.
- Expansion: Agle 18 mahino mein company South-East Asian markets mein expand karne ki planning kar rahi hai.
Investors ke liye watch-out zone:
Hardware startup hone ke naate manufacturing capacity ek challenge ho sakta hai. Saath hi, rural areas mein power aur internet connectivity ke issues ko kaise handle karte hain, ye dekhna hoga. Company ka focus Indian crops ki diversity par hai, jo inhein European competitors se alag khada karta hai.
