CropIn, a leading SaaS solutions provider to agribusinesses globally, has won the AI Innovation Challenge 2019, organised by the Government of Maharashtra and NITI Aayog, in association with NASSCOM. The challenge was held earlier this month at Taj Vivanta, Mumbai. The AI Innovation Challenge is a platform for AI-based organisations to showcase their solutions and to collaborate with the Government of Maharashtra on a proof of concept. In January 2019, Government of Maharashtra had invited applications from enthusiastic and passionate organisations from across India, that have developed artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions for social problems, to collaborate and partner with the Government in areas that include, but are not limited to agriculture, healthcare, education, smart mobility and water management. Speaking on the challenge, Krishna Kumar, CEO & Founder, CropIn said, "We are happy to win the AI Innovation Challenge 2019 conferred by the Government of Maharashtra. This will be a great opportunity for us to work for a social cause for the farmers in Maharashtra. Making agriculture more predictable is the need of the hour and only technological disruptions can create impact at scale."
