Overview / Description
Fasal is an Indian precision-agriculture company that combines on-farm IoT hardware with AI advisory for horticulture. Its sensors and weather stations capture soil moisture, temperature and microclimate data directly from the field, and its AI layer turns that data into smart irrigation and fertigation automation plus early warnings for pests and crop disease. Built for fruit and horticulture growers — grapes, pomegranate, mango, citrus and similar crops — Fasal aims to reduce water and input use while protecting yield and quality. A Y Combinator alumnus, the company has been receptive to Western media coverage. For smallholder and mid-size horticulturalists, Fasal's appeal is concrete: automate irrigation based on real plant and soil conditions rather than fixed schedules, and act on pest and disease risk before it becomes visible damage.
