AgroCloud: Drone Analytics &
Collaboration for Agriculture

Our online platform (SaaS) that helps drone operators, farmers, FPOs, cooperatives and buyers make practical use of drone-captured data.

Our goals with AgroCloud:

  • Make it easy to upload and process drone imagery
  • Provide simple maps and summaries that non-experts can understand
  • Create a place where different actors can see the same field picture and work together more smoothly

We are starting from Uttarakhand's hills and small farms, and we are honest that we are still learning where it adds the most value.

What AgroCloud Does

Status: Platform is operational in early form and evolving based on real field feedback and technical learnings.

Ecosystem Connection

Connects farmers, FPOs, cooperatives, drone operators, buyers and institutions in one environment with clear permissions and data-sharing rules.

Data Upload & Processing

Drone operators upload RGB (and later multispectral) imagery; AgroCloud turns it into stitched field maps, basic stress hints and before/after damage views.

Actionable Outputs

Delivers clear, visual outputs and short reports that can support discussions about crop condition, damage, planning and interventions.

How AgroCloud Works

01

Capture

Trained drone operators fly over fields, orchards or sites following simple patterns and checklists.

02

Upload

They upload imagery and mission details to AgroCloud via a web interface.

03

Process

AgroCloud processes the data to generate maps and summaries.

04

Share & Collaborate

Authorised users (farmers, FPOs, buyers, insurers, projects) can view the outputs, discuss them and plan actions; over time, discovery and collaboration features expand.

AgroCloud handles the heavy technical part. Local operators handle relationships, field execution, and earning.

Who is AgroCloud For?

Drone Operators & Videographers

Youth who already fly drones for weddings, tourism or basic survey, and want to add agri-tech mapping work. AgroCloud gives them a backend to turn flights into usable maps and reports.

Farmers & Farmer Groups

Farmers and collectives who want a clearer view of their fields—orchards, off-season vegetables or plains crops—and simple visual records after hail, heavy rain or disease.

FPOs & Cooperatives

FPOs that handle many small farmers and want aggregated views, basic cluster maps and repeatable processes for monitoring crops and planning interventions.

Buyers, Insurers & Projects

Buyer organisations, insurers, lenders and project teams who benefit from independent visual field data to support their decisions, while still respecting data ownership and local context.

We are still in early phase. Our first focus is on a few clusters and partners, not on covering the whole country at once.

Enabling Youth as Drone Micro-Entrepreneurs

We do not intend to give AgroCloud through a large central data team.

Instead, our model is:

  • train youth and drone operators,
  • help them acquire or finance suitable drones,
  • teach them how to capture good data and use AgroCloud,
  • and let them build micro-enterprises, serving farmers, FPOs, and local businesses.

AgroCloud becomes their technical backend.

Technical Backend

Heavy lifting: data storage and standard maps in one place.

Network Effects

FPOs, buyers and projects can discover reliable local operators over time.

Loan Alignment

It's well with self-employment loan schemes for youth.

Realistic Setup

Lite drones, training, AgroCloud access, and basic working capital fit the local context.

This approach also aligns with existing self-employment loan schemes for youth, where a typical package includes:

  • a drone,
  • training,
  • AgroCloud access,
  • basic working capital.

Our focus is on building and refining the platform, training and support machine: lets become the
face of the service in their region.

Training and RPTO: Building Skills, Not Just Software

Goljyu Innovations is setting up an RPTO (Remote Pilot Training Organisation) and complementary training for agri and survey workflows.

Safe, Compliant Flying

Safe, compliant drone flying.

Mapping & Inspection

Mapping and inspection workflows for fields, orchards and sites.

Using AgroCloud

How to upload and use AgroCloud.

Business Basics

Simple business basics: pricing, talking to farmers and FPOs, planning your work.

We see training as our real GTM engine:

  • In the beginning, we work closely with the first batches of youth.
  • We refine our content and processes.
  • Over time, a repeatable "train → support → graduate" pipeline emerges, so that local operators, not Goljyu, become the main GTM force.

Why We Are Building AgroCloud

We are a deep-tech team from Uttarakhand, working on drones, electronics and cloud systems.

From that vantage point, we see three realities:

Proven Value Elsewhere

Drone agri-tech is already working pre-sowing, yield estimation, pest surveillance in many countries, and India is actually one of them. But agriculture...

Knowing Our Context

We cannot borrow ready-box this or copy western models top-down. Hill farms, multi-crop orchards, and micro-holdings are different. Even use-cases may not sell, some may not, and some may need adaptation.

Reliable Infrastructure

We do not yet have shared infrastructure reliably available to every startup, farmer-org or rural agri-business that wants to use it to support supply, mapping and future monitoring work.

AgroCloud is our way of:

  • Putting solid, low-cost infrastructure in place.
  • Linking youth and local actors: experiment and learn.
  • Seeing honestly where drone data makes a difference and where it doesn't.

We do not claim guaranteed viral numbers. We are clear that this must be financially sustainable, even if margins stay modest. We are equally clear that it's strategically important for Goljyu and for our region.

Designed to Be Sustainable, Not Explosive

AgroCloud is intentionally low-margin and cost-effective. It is not built around hyper-growth assumptions.

Our principles:

01

Pricing that is understandable and affordable for FPOs and operators

02

Focus on steady usage rather than chasing vanity metrics

03

A clear aim that AgroCloud should pay for itself and contribute to the stability of our broader deep-tech work

If AgroCloud becomes a stable revenue stream, even with modest margins, it gives us one of the anchors on which we can build more ambitious innovation projects without depending on constant fundraising.

Honest About Impact

In other parts of the world, drone-based analytics are already part of precision agriculture. In our region, we do not assume that every such use-case will directly translate.

So we are explicit:

We do not promise fixed percentage increases in yield or income.

We commit to running the platform reliably and efficiently.

We will work with limited geographies and serious partners first.

We will refine AgroCloud based on what actually gets used, not on what looks impressive in demos.

We prefer measured, evidence-based progress over aggressive claims.

Social Impact: Small Steps, Long Horizon

We are designing AgroCloud as:

Enabler for Youth

A concrete micro-enterprise template that fits with existing self-employment loans and skill programmes.

Tool for Farmers & FPOs

Easier monitoring, better documentation, and a shared view of the field that respects their knowledge.

Learning Platform

A place to run real experiments with drone data in hills and smallholder contexts.

Our Early Work

Our early work will focus on:

  • A few orchard and vegetable clusters in Uttarakhand
  • A small number of FPOs and partners
  • Careful documentation of what actually gets used, what is ignored, and why

Impact for us is not just metrics. It is also building local capability, reducing dependence on external tech, and creating rails that many others can use for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AgroCloud only for Uttarakhand?

We are starting in Uttarakhand and nearby regions because this is where we live and understand the context. Over time, if the model proves useful, it can be applied in other hill and small-farm geographies.

Do you guarantee higher income for farmers?

No. We do not claim guaranteed income numbers. There is evidence from other regions that drone data can help, but in our context we want to measure and learn rather than promise.

Is AgroCloud a high-priced SaaS?

No. AgroCloud is intentionally low-margin and cost-effective. The aim is sustainable operations and broader access, not premium pricing.

Can I join without any drone experience?

Yes. If you are willing to learn and work in the field, our training covers basics of flying, data capture and using AgroCloud.

How do you handle data ownership?

By default, farmers / FPOs own their field data, and operators own their flight logs. AgroCloud processes data to deliver services, and any broader sharing is done with consent and clear agreements.
