The Wadhwani Institute for Artificial Intelligence was inaugurated in 2018 by the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. At Wadhwani AI, it has been our mission to identify problems affecting under-served communities, create AI-powered solutions for those problems, and deploy them at scale, in order to create a significant and sustainable social impact in India. Since our inception, agriculture has been a key focus area for us.

“Small farmers in India depend on government programs at every step of the crop cycle. Timely, accurate, and hyperlocal AI-based early-pest warning and advisory can augment human capabilities to overcome systemic challenges in these large-scale programs. We are honoured and excited to explore the possibilities in this space in collaboration with the KSDA. I would like to extend my thanks to Mr. Ravi Trivedi from The/Nudge’s Indian Administrative Fellowship, who has facilitated the deployment of our solution in Dharwad district, and provided guidance and support towards our partnership with the KSDA and the signing of this MoU,” Mr. J. P. Tripathi, Associate Director - Agriculture, Wadhwani AI.
