Fasal
AI plus IoT crop intelligence for horticulture farmers across India and Southeast Asia.
About
Fasal is a Bengaluru-based precision horticulture platform founded in 2018 that combines on-farm sensor arrays with machine learning to give fruit and vegetable growers farm-level, crop-specific advisories. Sensors installed in under 15 minutes measure micro-climate, soil and crop conditions; the platform forecasts disease and pest risk, recommends precise irrigation and fertigation, and delivers guidance in vernacular languages by app, web or even text message. The company focuses on high-value crops like grapes, pomegranate, mango, citrus, coffee and chili.
Beyond advisories, Fasal runs a full-stack model: its B2B brand Fasal Fresh procures traceable, sustainably grown produce from its network, which the company says covers more than 75,000 acres. It raised a $12 million Series A in 2023 led by TDK Ventures and British International Investment. Pricing is a hardware purchase plus a biannual or annual SaaS fee. Caveat: yield and input-cost claims in Fasal's marketing are self-reported; the strongest evidence is continued funding and acreage growth rather than independent trials.
