Agricultural IoT Sensors Built for the Real World.
Offline-first agricultural IoT sensors and Edge AI gateways built for research stations, KVKs, and institutions - a farm sensor network deployable where connectivity ends and field science begins.
One Farm Sensor Network.
Three Layers.
VK-S1 Field Sensor Nodes
Solar-powered soil moisture sensors for farming - plus temperature, humidity, pH, CO₂, leaf wetness, and PAR light - no SIM card, no grid power.
VK-G1 Edge Gateway
Receives data over sub-GHz LoRa mesh and runs EdgeOS v1 inference on-device - with a 30-day local buffer. No internet required at the field layer.
VarshaKrishi Platform
Real-time telemetry, fleet management, CSV/JSON export, and REST API - syncing whenever 4G/LTE or broadband is available.
The Precision Agriculture Problem Is Global
Smallholder farms globally
without reliable IoT monitoring or connectivity infrastructure.
Precision agriculture market
by 2030 (MarketsandMarkets). Most of it is still unaddressed infrastructure.
Farms with sensor monitoring
The infrastructure layer for global precision agriculture doesn't exist yet.
VarshaKrishi is building it - starting with the world's hardest environment: farms without power grids, without internet, and without technical support infrastructure.

Built for Institutional and Research Agriculture
From a single research station to multi-site institutional programs - VarshaKrishi deploys as a complete, documented system. Configured for your protocol. Supported end-to-end.
Research & Academic Institutions
Multi-parameter sensor arrays for agricultural universities, KVKs, research stations, and field science programs. Up to 8 simultaneous data streams. CSV, JSON, and REST API export for academic analysis and publication.
Research Configurations →Individual Farms & Cooperatives
A single VK-G1 gateway covers an entire farming cluster - up to 5 km radius. Solar-autonomous nodes monitor soil, climate, and crop conditions with no SIM card and no grid power. SMS and dashboard alerts for actionable field decisions.
Request a Proposal →Enterprise & Government Deployments
Multi-gateway mesh networks for large-scale precision agriculture programs. Fleet management, role-based access, and structured reporting for enterprise and government projects across any geography.
Talk to Our Team →From Field Sensor to Actionable Data
Three steps. No cloud dependency at the field layer. No SIM card. No grid power required.
Sensors Collect Field Data
VK-S1 wireless nodes measure volumetric soil moisture via capacitive sensing, plus temperature, humidity, pH, CO₂, leaf wetness, and PAR light at configurable intervals. Each node runs on integrated solar with LiPo backup - no grid connection required.
Edge Gateway Processes Locally
The VK-G1 gateway receives micro-climate telemetry from the wireless nodes via sub-GHz LoRa mesh and runs EdgeOS v1 agronomy inference on-device. Data is buffered locally for up to 30 days. No internet connection is required for this layer to operate.
Platform Syncs When Connected
When 4G/LTE or broadband is available, the gateway syncs buffered data to the research dashboard. Multi-user access, CSV/JSON export, and REST API are available. SMS alerts deliver actionable recommendations in plain language.

How to Work With Us
Two pathways available now. Both include a formal proposal, technical specification, and full deployment support. VarshaKrishi is DPIIT-recognised and Supported by the EiR Fellowship under 5G/6G Centre of Excellence, SIIC IIT Kanpur. The VK Series is designed, assembled, and field-tested in India by an IIT Kanpur student founder and team.
