REALM Krishi combines Australian AgTech, multilingual AI, satellite analytics and verified carbon MRV — co-created with Indian FPOs, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and AgTech partners under a shared IP framework, and deployed to smallholders in Maharashtra and Karnataka through the Victorian Government Trade & Investment offices in Bengaluru and Mumbai.
Climate volatility, fragmented advisory, post-harvest loss and a near-total absence of carbon measurement infrastructure leave the world's most populous farming country under-served by the very technologies built to support it. Victoria's complementary strengths — measurement and monitoring, climate-smart agriculture, agri-bio research — are an exact fit for this gap.
Built on the REALM GPT Lab platform — REALM360's intelligence engine — REALM Krishi delivers institutional-grade agricultural analytics to farmers via WhatsApp and mobile, and to FPOs, NGOs and government partners via dashboards.
Voice-first agronomy in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada and English. Sowing windows, pest diagnosis, subsidy navigation and market price guidance — delivered via WhatsApp and mobile app.
Field-level crop health from Sentinel-2 imagery — NDVI, NDMI, NDWI indices, stress detection, irrigation timing and yield forecasts. Aggregated to FPO, village and district level.
Regenerative agronomy: cover cropping, reduced tillage, agroforestry, biochar, optimised fertiliser. Adapted from Victorian on-farm research and trial outcomes.
Verra VM0042 and Gold Standard-aligned measurement, reporting and verification. FPO-level aggregation overcomes smallholder scale issues. Farmer receives the majority share.
7-day, 30-day and severe-weather alerts. IMD as the primary source, blended with ECMWF and NOAA GFS ensemble forecasting. Push and WhatsApp delivery.
Village-level insights for governments, FPOs and impact investors. Training progress, sustainability metrics, carbon project tracking and gender-disaggregated participation data.

Smallholder agriculture has been locked out of the carbon market by scale economics. REALM Krishi solves this by aggregating verified MRV across FPOs — bringing remote-sensing baselines, on-ground activity data and third-party verification together into a single bankable project.
Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8/9 imagery, processed through cloud-masked time-series models, gives REALM Krishi field-level crop health across every district we operate in. Anomalies are pushed to farmers in their language before they become losses.
Every REALM Krishi capability maps to a published Victorian Government priority for the 2025–30 India engagement. We've drawn the lines directly from the strategy document.
A staged, evidence-led rollout designed to meet the Victorian Government's Year-1 / Year-3 / Year-5 review cadence set out on p.43 of the 2025–30 strategy.
Facilitation, by design.
REALM Krishi is structured around the Knowing → Planning → Doing facilitation arc set out in the Australia–India AgTech Business Opportunities Report 2026 (Austrade × ThinkAg, Section III, pp.68–72). Each rollout phase below assumes a 12–18 month gestation window for trust-building, contextual adaptation, and institutional co-design — supported by patient, blended capital from a facilitator stack of Victorian Government Trade & Investment, ThinkAg, Austrade South Asia, and Indian incubator and university partners. We treat the report's facilitation thesis as a binding design constraint, not a backdrop.
The Austrade × ThinkAg report (Section III) frames a three-phase facilitation arc — Knowing the context, Planning the entry, Doing at scale. We map each phase to a specific facilitator instrument and a Krishi deployment milestone.
Partner with 1-2 FPOs across 500-2,000 farmers in Maharashtra or Karnataka. Establish MRV baselines. Harden product. Sign first institutional MoU. Demonstrate proof points to Global Victoria.
Expand to 5 districts, 50,000 farmers, first carbon-credit issuance, second-state expansion. Series A capital. Embed Victoria–India joint research outputs.
500,000 farmers across multiple states. Full partner ecosystem operational. Pilot data contributes to the Victorian Government's 2030–35 strategy refresh as a case study of bilateral mutual prosperity.
Krishi v1 covers Pillars 1 and 2 (Precision AgTech, ClimateAgTech) of the five strategic alliance areas defined by the Austrade × ThinkAg AgTech Report 2026. Pillars 3–5 sequence in across the Y2–5 deployment window, anchored to the FPO logistics footprint (Y2–3), the Bengaluru engineering hub, and the joint-research lane with Australian university partners (Y4–5).
We're seeking introductions through Global Victoria, VGTI Bengaluru and VGTI Mumbai, plus pilot partners across Indian FPO networks, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, and carbon registry partners. Tell us how you'd like to engage.
Impact-first capital aligned with smallholder livelihoods, climate outcomes and bilateral trade growth.
State-level pilots, policy alignment, and integration with India's existing agricultural extension architecture.
Field partners to co-develop the pilot, with first-mover access to platform tools and carbon revenue.
