Belagavi-based SBOF Agrosmart Private Limited has launched SBOF Agrosmart, which is being billed a India’s first AI-based all-in-one agriculture app. It will provide all-round support to farmers and could lead to a revolution in agriculture, according to start-up founders Savio Pereira and Swati Pereira.
Farmers across India are facing increasing uncertainty — climate change, market price fluctuations, pest & disease outbreaks, lack of timely information, low-quality inputs, and difficulty accessing government schemes and modern tools.
SBOF Agrosmart attempts to bridge this gap through a smart, digital-first approach that delivers real-time, region-specific, and data-driven agricultural solutions. Backed by a decade of experience in fertiliser manufacturing and agri-inputs, the company has come up with a futuristic platform powered by Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and expert-driven agriculture advisory services.
The app has an in-built chat bot for round-the-clock support in multiple languages.
PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi launched the app in Belagavi in the presence of MLA Asif (Raju) Sait, BUDA Chairman Laxmanrao Chingale, DCC Bank President Appasaheb Kulgode, former minister Veerakumar Patil, former MLAs Sham Bheem Ghatge, Arvind Patil, and Kakasaheb Patil.
