Klonec Automation Systems Private Limited

Klonec Automation Systems Private Limited, which operates under the brand name Krishitantra, is an agri-tech company that specializes in soil health management and precision farming. The company has developed an automated, IoT-based soil testing system known as Krishi RASTAA, which provides rapid, on-site analysis of soil macro and micronutrients. By offering instant fertilizer advisory services, the technology helps farmers make informed, data-driven decisions to optimize input usage, improve crop yields, and reduce cultivation costs. This system replaces traditional, time-consuming laboratory testing methods with a portable, accessible solution that promotes balanced fertilizer application and long-term soil rejuvenation.

These solutions are critical for farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and agricultural input companies seeking to enhance agricultural productivity while minimizing environmental impacts like water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions. Krishitantra's work supports broader sustainable agriculture goals, including the optimization of irrigation water and the improvement of farmer livelihoods. The company has secured backing from institutional investors and venture capital firms, such as Omnivore and Nabventures, and maintains strategic partnerships with entities like ICAR-IIRR to further innovate and scale its digital farming tools across India.
