Feeding 1.4 Billion – Dr. Sat Kumar Tomer
With a growing population of 1.4 billion people to feed, farmers in India are under constant pressure to increase productivity despite diminishing resources. Nearly half the population and most rural livelihoods rely on agriculture.. With volatile weather patterns and pest infestations, crop diseases and limited natural resources , Dr. Sat Kumar Tomer, Founder and CEO of Satyukt Analytics, sought to revolutionize farming by harnessing satellite data to provide affordable, actionable insights for small and larger farmers across India. Dr. Tomer assembled a team of researchers and engineers to build Satyukt Analytics. Together they developed Sat2Farm, a mobile application designed to empower farmers with real-time insights into crop health, water availability,
and other crucial parameters. Central to Satyukt’s approach is the use of open-source satellite data from agencies like NASA and ESA. Dr. Tomer’s vision is to make Indian agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and resilient in the face of climate challenges.
