Farmagain agro Private Limited

Benjamin Raja, Founder of Farmagain Agro Pvt. Ltd., has a strong background in technology and engineering, with over 16 years of experience in global leadership roles at companies such as Honeywell and Talisma.
After returning to India, his interest in macro photography introduced him to the challenges faced by farmers, including low productivity, inefficient resource utilization, and limited adoption of scientific farming practices. Inspired by the precision agriculture techniques he had seen abroad, he envisioned a technology-driven solution for Indian agriculture. This led to the establishment of Farmagain Agro Pvt. Ltd. in 2013 with the mission of transforming farming through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IoT. In 2018, the company launched GroTron®, its flagship precision farming platform that helps farmers optimize irrigation, improve crop productivity, conserve resources, and make agriculture more sustainable through intelligent, data-driven farming.

Products & Solutions

Farmagain’s flagship solution, GroTron®, is an AI and IoT-powered precision farm automation platform built on its patented evapotranspiration technology. It enables scientific irrigation and fertigation by delivering the right amount of water and nutrients based on the crop’s actual requirements.
By optimizing resource usage, GroTron® helps improve crop productivity while reducing water, fertilizer, and energy consumption. Its fully wireless architecture and intelligent automation support sustainable farming, healthier soil, and better long-term farm profitability.
Key Features
