Enterprise Profiles

The enterprise has designed award-winning solar DC freezers and is leveraging it to create supply chain solutions in the agri and allied sectors. It also provides solar home-kits, solar freezing and cooling solutions, and a range of solar street lights, all geared for consumers in weak-grid and off-grid areas.

The processor also works as a pressure cooker with temperature control and auto cut-off facilities. Further, it offers a condensation mechanism, which helps in the extraction of essence and oil from flowers, seeds and medicinal plants.

The company has developed Sabjikothi, an affordable, microclimate-based storage solution that helps extend the freshness of fruits and vegetables without the need for refrigeration.

Based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the enterprise develops technologies that are affordable and accessible to small and marginal dairy farmers. Hydrogreens grows fodder in a low-cost micro climate-controlled grow house that can operate even in 40 to 50 degrees Celsius with just half a bucket of water.

It is small enough to carry with a flow rate big enough to satisfy marginal farmers preferences at a bankable price point that does not rely on subsidy.

The enterprise has commercialised nine machines for various activities including silk yarn production and weaving, helping existing artisans to improve their livelihood and bringing in new people, particularly the young generation into the industry.

The company focuses on innovative, high-quality technologies to improve efficiency and address key challenges in the agriculture sector.

The systems are at least 20% more efficient than competitors, reducing the solar system cost significantly. The modularity allows farmers to increase the system without having to replace the existing installations.

The solutions help farmers, FPOs, aggregators and retailers reduce post-harvest losses, lower transport costs, increase realizations, and save time and labour.

SEMA has developed solar-powered multi-stage mills that automate labor-intensive hulling, reduce reliance on traditional single-stage mills, and enhance profitability. By utilizing renewable energy, SEMA’s innovative solutions not only increase farmers’ incomes but also promote environmental sustainability.

KARMA has also developed solar-powered aerators (with grid interoperability), which can be used to minimise the running cost of shrimp farmers.

The biomass used is carbon neutral and does not contribute to environmental damage.

The company specializes in designing and producing advanced solar thermal products, including solar box cookers, solar parabolic cookers, solar dryers, solar hot air generators, solar ovens, and solar water heaters. They also offer solar energy education kits aimed at promoting renewable energy awareness among students.

The solar dryers are designed according to the FSSAI norms and retains the natural colour, taste, fragrance and nutrients of the dried products.

Their portable, low-cost technology attaches to tractors, enabling rural communities to transform crop residues into biofuels, fertilizers, and other marketable products on-site. This innovation not only reduces air pollution from open-air biomass burning but also provides additional income streams for farmers.

Katidhan envisions rapidly building and co-creating impactful technological solutions for global scale with the tagline – ‘Building Innovations, Creating Markets’.

Its flagship innovation, the Subjee Cooler, is a zero-energy storage system designed to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables without electricity, solar power, or fuel-operating with just 20 liters of water per day. The company also offers portable and mobile versions of the cooler to cater to diverse agricultural needs.

Its vision is to enhance human potential and overall well-being through education, empowerment, and community-driven initiatives. The organization’s mission is to reduce vulnerabilities, build resilience, and uplift communities by strengthening sustainable aquatic livelihood opportunities. By partnering with local organizations, community groups, and private stakeholders, Jaljeevika strives to create lasting change by expanding access to knowledge, institutional support, and market opportunities for underserved communities.

Their innovative solutions includes poultry rakers, paddy transplanters, brush cutters, and weeders which are co-created with farmer insights to modernize and simplify traditional farming practices.
