Growing at a rapid pace, we at Venture Garage strongly feel that BharatRohan is on track to not only build a company championing sustainable and scalable agriculture but also deliver great earnings for their investors."

Supporting farmers and driving revenue growth

Founded in 2016, BharatRohan currently supports 50,000 farmers covering 200,000 acres in five states with its advanced drone-based decision-support system, BharatRohan CropAssure.

This system identifies diseases, pests, and nutritional deficiencies in the early stages, enabling integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for residue-free crop cultivation.

The startup plans to expand its operations and offerings in 15 Indian states, covering 10 lakh acres by 2025. It claims to have shown significant growth, increasing revenue threefold and profit by 200% from the last financial year.

Accelerating agritech solutions across India

BharatRohan intends to accelerate its services with its proprietary edge computing drones and adaptive pesticide delivery systems. These innovative solutions will be distributed to rural entrepreneurs via a franchise-based model, empowering them to offer CropAssure services to farmers nationwide.

As BharatRohan continues to expand and enhance its precision agriculture solutions, it aims to revolutionize farming practices in India, making them more scientific, sustainable, and profitable for farmers and investors alike.
