Our journey so far

2022 - 5 farmers onboarded as customers

We have on-boarded 5 farmers from our farmer community as customers and are providing services to them. We are also evolving MeenDoctru and the HasiruAqua farmer app. Our goal this year is to establish a marketplace with distributors, exporters and D2C brands that will buy produce from the farmers directly.

2021 - Pivot to full-stack fish farming

We were able to pivot to a full-stack fish farming service for farmers and grow a community of 50-60 farmers that were interested in the service. We iterated our technology and process with them.

2020 - MVP

During our MVP, we built MeenDoctru in a crude form and deployed it with a fish farmer on the outskirts of Bangalore, India. Feedback from farmers was to help them with the entire fish cultivation cycle.

2019 - Idea

Ajay quits aquaponics startup and works with Pranav to develop sensors for aquaculture farmers. Ajay receives fellowship from IIT-Kanpur to develop an MVP with 1 farm.
