AGDATA, an agribusiness data company serving American seed and crop-chemical makers, builds from Pune. In Bengaluru the satellite-imaging company SatSure watches fields from above, the nonprofit Digital Green answers farmers' questions with an AI adviser, and start-ups like Niqo Robotics build camera-guided sprayers.

The Market Segments move from the sky to the soil.
Satellite images of fields, turned into crop readings for banks and insurers, come from SatSure.
Data for seed and crop-chemical sellers, and AI advice for the farmer, come from AGDATA, LP, Digital Green and Terrantic.
Camera-guided sprayers and other field machines come from start-ups like Niqo Robotics, Koyth Robotics and Peepul Agri.
