Company Description


Cropsphere is building India’s first climate-intelligent agriculture ecosystem, integrating land activation, regenerative farming, soil-health intelligence, and climate-verified supply chains.

Our ecosystem consists of four layers:

  • HarvestHQ — Agri + Climate OS for soil, crop, land & supply intelligence (IoT, AI, computer vision, satellite, disease prediction).
  • O-Points — our regeneration & climate scoring engine that evaluates soil, carbon, biodiversity, water retention, and resilience.
  • Marketplace — demand engine for verified horticulture & regenerative produce.
  • Living Hubs — offline experience layer for consumer trust, farmer advisory & fresh produce retail.

We are headquartered in Coimbatore and currently in pre-seed, pre-product stage, actively building our core founding team.

Cropsphere’s long-term vision:

Build the operating system that powers India’s climate-resilient agriculture for the next 25 years.
