The Idea

Jiten and Ankit believe that their current technology that serves the hospitality industry, can also benefit the farming sector. They are developing tele-operated robotics that will provide support with harvesting, weed management, maintenance and more. They have a focus on the “human-touch” approach instead of an autonomous system. This could create employment opportunities allowing people to work from home so it can also be accessed by people with a disability.

Hatch program is a beautifully crafted program where budding entrepreneurs and founders learn how to validate their business ideas, how to do customer discovery and how to make a product that is required by the customers. We highly recommend this program to all first-time founders this program will definitely help you gain a lot of valuable business insights which they would have never thought of.

What's Next?

They are currently planning to build a prototype and do some field trials along with a volunteer farmer and prove the suitability of their technology.
