Hyderabad, August 26, 2024 (TBB Bureau): Raminfo Limited, a BSE-listed and innovation-led technology solutions provider, is making a groundbreaking entry into the agricultural sector with the launch of Kisan Drones Private Limited. This initiative aims to transform Indian agriculture by offering cutting-edge drone services designed to enhance farming practices and boost productivity.
Kisan Drones Private Limited is conceived as a “Drone-as-a-Service” platform, providing farmers across India with advanced drone technology for precise field mapping and efficient fertilizer spraying. These state-of-the-art drones are expected to significantly improve agricultural output and modernize farming techniques, equipping farmers with the tools necessary for success in today’s dynamic agricultural landscape.
The initiative will focus on empowering the grassroots level of the farming community, offering access to top-tier drones, servicing, and training for new drone pilots. Additionally, drone entrepreneurs will receive the necessary financing and guidance to meet the demands of their new enterprises, making Kisan Drones a comprehensive resource for both budding entrepreneurs and skilled drone pilots.
Srinath Reddy, Managing Director of Raminfo, shared his enthusiasm: “We are proud to introduce Kisan Drones Private Limited to the farming community. This initiative is a key stepping stone in our mission to empower the agricultural sector with advanced technology. By providing access to the best drones and exceptional support services, we aim to not only enhance productivity but also ignite a new wave of entrepreneurship in rural India. Our commitment is to ensure that every farmer, regardless of location, is equipped with the best practices and knowledge to thrive in today’s agricultural industry.”
Kisan Drones Pvt. Ltd. plans to establish 100 centers over the next two years, with a focus on states including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. These centers will include both “mini” and “major” stores to cater to farmers’ varying needs. While the mini stores will offer essential drone services, the major stores will provide a broader range of services, including access to qualified drone pilots who will guide farmers in selecting and using the appropriate drones for their specific needs.
The program also aims to create over 1,000 entrepreneurs in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana within the next 12-18 months by connecting drone service centers with drone operators. Kisan Drones Pvt. Ltd. will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between market demand and service providers, ensuring a seamless synergy between drone services and agricultural needs.
Kisan Drones Private Limited represents a significant step forward in revolutionizing agriculture. This innovation is poised to deliver a substantial impact on agricultural yields and practices. As part of Raminfo’s broader vision of leveraging the latest technology to transform agriculture, the launch of Kisan Drones will foster collaboration with OEM players in the industry, bridging the gap between traditional farming methods and modern technology.
