The problem

Advice Arrives Too Late

Crop disease costs Indian farmers 15–40% of a harvest, and the damage compounds while a farmer waits for an expert who may never come.

Most farming apps make it worse: they need a signal, they speak only English, and they do one thing. KrishiAI was built to remove every one of those barriers.

What it does

The AI Runs on the Phone, Not in a Data Centre

Point the camera at an affected plant and KrishiAI identifies the disease in real time, then explains the treatment — organic or chemical, with dosage and prevention — in the farmer's own language, out loud.

Around that core sits everything a grower needs for the season: hyperlocal weather, irrigation scheduling, mandi prices and farm finance — one app instead of six.

Capabilities

Key Capabilities

A full season's decisions in one app — and the core of it works in airplane mode.

Disease detection

On-Device Disease Detection

A MobileNetV2 ONNX model classifies 40+ disease classes from a single photo, with confidence scoring, fully offline.

Treatment library

Actionable Treatment Library

38 diseases across 12 crops, with organic and chemical options, dosage, severity and preventive measures.

Voice assistant

Multilingual Voice Assistant

Ask and listen in 10 Indian languages — no typing, no English required, no literacy barrier.

Weather intelligence

Hyperlocal Weather Intelligence

Localised forecasts for sowing, irrigation, harvest and crop protection windows.

Irrigation advisory

AI Irrigation Advisory

Scheduling that cuts water waste while supporting yield, tuned to the crop and the forecast.

Market prices

Market Price Intelligence

Nearby mandi prices, so a farmer sells at the right time rather than the first time.

Farm finance

Farm Finance Manager

Income, expenses, loans and subsidies tracked together for true profit visibility.

Government schemes

Government Scheme Awareness

Surfaces the subsidies and benefits farmers routinely miss, matched to their profile.

How It Works

Six steps, none of which require a connection.

  1. Snap a photo of the affected crop — or choose one from the gallery.

  2. KrishiAI runs the model on the device and identifies the disease with a confidence score.

  3. It returns treatment — organic and chemical options, dosage, severity, prevention — in the farmer's language.

  4. Follow-up questions are asked by voice, and the answers are spoken back.

  5. Hyperlocal weather, irrigation timing, mandi prices and farm finances sit in the same app.

  6. History and advisories save locally; data syncs to Azure SQL when a connection returns.

Why Kalpita KrishiAI

Against the single-purpose, English-only, connection-dependent apps most smallholders encounter.

Who it's for

An Agronomist in Every Farmer's Pocket

  • Smallholder and medium farmers (1–50 hectares) who need expert advice on a budget phone
  • Farmer-producer organisations and cooperatives extending advisory to their members
  • Government extension and subsidy programmes reaching farmers at regional scale
  • Agribusiness and Agritech platforms embedding disease detection and advisory
  • Insurance and risk partners using preventive advice to reduce crop-failure exposure

Built Offline-First, Ready to Scale

KrishiAI is built on .NET MAUI with a layered MVVM architecture, interface-based services and dependency injection. Disease detection uses a MobileNetV2 ONNX model via ONNX Runtime with SkiaSharp preprocessing; SQLite stores everything on the device; Azure SQL, Azure Speech Services and Azure OpenAI add cloud intelligence when a connection exists. New crops, languages and advisories slot into the same service-oriented design.

Proof, not promises

Proven Outcomes

95%+Accuracy

On-device detection

Every result carries a confidence score, so a farmer knows how much to trust the diagnosis before acting on it.

Works in Airplane Mode

No network required

Core detection, treatment and advisory run entirely on the phone; cloud sync activates only when a connection returns.

10Indian Languages

Voice-first

Ask and listen in the farmer's own language, at any literacy level — no typing and no English required.
