Cropin Technology collaborates with AWS India to develop new solutions

Bengaluru, 20 March: Cropin Technology, a leading Agtech startup has entered into a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) India that will enable the company to develop new solutions for better service delivery to all stakeholders in agriculture ecosystem.

According the company, this initiative aims to help Cropin develop core data architecture, analytics, modelling, and simulation components that can aggregate global farmland data and broader climate intelligence within a single solution.

In a press release, the company said that the solution will provide decision intelligence to governments, development agencies, and agri-businesses, and help them ensure food security for vulnerable populations.

Commenting on the collaboration, Krishna Kumar, Co-Founder & CEO, Cropin said, “We can analyze and identify changes in cultivation patterns at a country scale, spanning from sowing to harvesting. This includes examining weather parameters, moisture availability, and disease outbreaks at scale to understand their impact on crop health and yield. These insights are crucial for policymakers, enabling them to make informed decisions to combat hunger and ensure food security. Our collaboration with AWS marks a significant step towards building a global real-time decision intelligence solution, which will provide insights into several aspects of food security - agriculture, climate, trade, and supply chain - in one dashboard. This engagement with AWS helps us showcase the use of technology, data, and AI to solve these pressing issues.”

As part of this initiative, AWS will explore providing technical expertise to Cropin on its advanced computer services (HPC, ML/ Gen AI, IoT, geospatial), as well as industry insights from its agriculture, and sustainability specialists, to power Cropin’s platform.

“Our work with Cropin showcases the power of advanced computer capabilities on the cloud to drive social and environmental impact. AWS’s generative AI, simulation, and data analytics technologies can help organisations like Cropin surface actionable and relevant insights from diverse data sets, and scale their solution globally to empower decision makers to reduce food insecurity,”Shalini Kapoor, Director and Chief Technologist, AWS India said.
