Farmonaut Technologies Private Limited

What Farmonaut Technologies Private Limited does

Farmonaut Technologies Private Limited, incorporated in India in 2019 and headquartered in Bangalore with US operations through Yuple Inc. (New York and Wilmington, Delaware), operates a multi-module satellite intelligence platform that fuses multi-source Earth observation imagery (MODIS, VIIRS, Sentinel, Landsat-8, ASTER) with proprietary geospatial algorithms and AI/ML models. The platform's core products are satellite-based mineral detection (positioned at up to 90% lab-validated accuracy and 80-85% cost reduction versus traditional surveys), precision agriculture monitoring (NDVI/NDWI/vegetation index analysis on a 4-5 day revisit cycle), Jeevn AI advisory (multilingual farm recommendations), wildfire monitoring (2.5-minute scan intervals with AI false-positive filtering), blockchain product traceability (Hyperledger Fabric, RFID-integrated), carbon MRV/footprinting, and satellite-based crop loan and insurance underwriting. The company serves five primary segments: mining companies and exploration firms, agricultural enterprises and cooperatives, financial institutions (banks, insurers, agri-fintech), food and textile brands requiring supply-chain transparency, and government geological departments. Operations are documented across 20+ countries.

The business model combines a tiered SaaS subscription on the agricultural side (Starter at ₹200/month in India through Elite at $949.99/month, per-hectare pricing that scales down at higher tiers), quote-based project fees for mining mineral detection, API access at multiple tiers for developer and partner integration, affiliate-driven referral commissions (20% recurring plus 10% user discount), and subscription-based wildfire and traceability services. Go-to-market is hybrid: self-serve product-led growth through web app, iOS, and Android; an API-first developer channel that acts as both a distribution surface and integration layer; direct enterprise field sales targeting mining license owners, consultants, investors, and large agribusinesses; and an affiliate program for agricultural consultants and sustainability partners. Marketing is content-led (educational blogs, case studies, SEO) with social presence across LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The company has disclosed funding from two 2021 rounds (JioGenNext and Indigram Labs incubator) with no subsequent rounds visible, maintains headcount of 11-50 employees, holds ISO 27001 certification, has formed integration partnerships with CSIRO and Geoscience Australia (spectral libraries) and certified mineral assay laboratories (validation), and has received an AGI-India award for agricultural technology innovation. Revenue, customer counts, and post-2021 funding are not publicly disclosed.
