We grew up watching farmers in Siddharth Nagar waste diesel, drown crops, and fall into debt — while the world's best climate data sat unused. We built the bridge between science and the farmer's phone.
Meet the Founder ↓
"In Siddharth Nagar, the sound of a diesel pump at 4 AM is the sound of hope — and waste. I grew up hearing it every morning. My neighbours would pump water for hours, praying it was enough, never knowing if the sky would open up by noon. One season, a farmer next door ran his pump all night before a storm. The next morning, his field was a lake and his diesel money was gone. That moment stayed with me. I thought — somewhere, the data already existed that could have told him the rain was coming. He just couldn't access it. So I taught myself climate science, and built a way for every farmer to get that answer — in Hindi, on a simple phone, for free."
Saddam Hussain — Founder, RurTech.ai. From Siddharth Nagar, Uttar Pradesh — one of India's most underserved districts. No IIT, no Stanford. Self-taught climate data scientist. Built the platform from scratch and tested it on 100 real farms across UP. The result: same crop yield, 25-30% less diesel burned. Now building the bridge between the world's best science and the farmer's phone.

15 crore Indian farming families make life-or-death decisions every day — with zero data. Here's what that looks like.
A farmer in UP wakes at 4 AM, walks to his field, and starts a diesel pump. He doesn't know if the soil needs water. He doesn't know if rain is coming tomorrow. He runs the pump for 2 hours because that's what his father did. 25-30% of that diesel is wasted.
The Iran-US conflict has disrupted Strait of Hormuz shipping routes. Urea and DAP prices jumped 10% in Q1 2026. India imports 30%+ of its fertilizer. For a farmer buying 2 bags of DAP at ₹1,350 each, that's ₹270 more per season — money he doesn't have.
+10% fertilizer price spike due to geopolitical supply disruptionMonsoons arrive late or dump everything in 3 days. Summers stretch longer. Groundwater drops 1-3 metres per decade. The farming calendar that worked for generations is broken — and 86% of Indian farmers have no access to any climate forecast.
76 crore tonnes of food lost globally each year from wrong-timingThe world's best climate and weather data is published for free every day — soil moisture, rainfall forecasts, vegetation health — it's all there. But it sits in servers farmers will never see, in formats they can't read, in languages they don't speak.
That bridge is what we built.No device to buy. No sensor to install. No loan to take. Just open the app, get the answer, save the diesel.
Soil moisture, weather, crop health — observed and recorded every day, freely available
Our platform turns complex climate observations into a simple, clear answer
"Don't water today — rain coming tomorrow" or "Run pump 45 min, then stop"
Less diesel burned, less water wasted, less CO₂ released. Same yield.
"The farmer asks in Hindi: 'Kya aaj paani dena chahiye?' — and gets a data-backed answer in 3 seconds. No training needed. No app to learn. Just a WhatsApp message or a voice call."
Climate Shock Prediction — Live Demo
Watch how our platform predicts climate shocks and alerts farmers before they happen.
Wheat season, Siddharth Nagar & nearby districts, UP. 100 farms. Same seeds, same soil, same crop. The only difference: our farmers knew when to water and when to wait.
A world where every farmer — from Siddharth Nagar to every village in India and beyond — has the same climate intelligence that today only corporations can afford. No devices. No jargon. Just answers that save water, save fuel, and cut CO₂.
30% less water wasted per irrigation cycle. The farmer knows exactly when the crop needs water — and when it doesn't.
25-30% less diesel burned. If rain is coming tomorrow, the pump stays off. Every skipped run saves ₹200-400 and 2.6 kg of CO₂.
Agriculture produces 14% of global greenhouse gases. Every litre of diesel not burned is 2.6 kg of CO₂ not released. Multiply by 15 crore farms.
The same climate intelligence, packaged differently for each user.
Free climate alerts, irrigation advice, pest warnings, and yield predictions — via WhatsApp or voice call, in Hindi and 7+ regional dialects.
Verified crop health and climate risk scoring — helping banks assess farm loans and insurers settle crop claims faster.
District-level climate dashboards, automated environmental reporting, and crop loss assessment — at a fraction of traditional cost.
Global agriculture is under pressure from climate, conflict, and cost.
Erratic monsoons, longer summers, depleting groundwater. 86% of Indian farmers have zero access to climate forecasts.

Strait of Hormuz disruptions pushed urea and DAP prices up 10%. India imports 30%+ of fertilizer. ₹270 more per season farmers can't afford.

Diesel prices up 40% in 5 years. A smallholder spends ₹8,000-12,000 per season on pump fuel. 25-30% is wasted on unnecessary irrigation.

Climate intelligence infrastructure for Indian agriculture — from Siddharth Nagar to every village.
Recognitions & Licenses
We're currently in the design phase, simulating India's first autonomous farming bot in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. From climate intelligence on a phone to a robot that can walk the field — this is where we're headed.

Global temperatures have already crossed the 1.5°C threshold. We don't have decades to act — we have years. Every season a farmer wastes diesel, every crop lost to wrong timing, every tonne of CO₂ released from an unnecessary pump run — it all adds up. This project matters for every individual living on this planet, and it starts with the farmer.

Everything you need to know about RurTech.ai
RurTech.ai is a climate intelligence platform that helps farmers know exactly when to water their crops, when to wait, and when to harvest. We turn freely available climate data into simple, actionable answers — delivered via WhatsApp or voice call in Hindi and regional dialects. No hardware needed.
Weather apps tell you the temperature. We tell the farmer whether to run the pump or not, for how many minutes, and whether rain is coming that will make irrigation unnecessary. It's not weather — it's a farming decision delivered in the farmer's language.
No. Zero hardware. No sensors, no batteries, no solar panels, no installation. The farmer just needs a basic phone — even a feature phone works via voice call. For smartphone users, WhatsApp is enough.
Hindi, English, and 7+ regional dialects including Awadhi, Bhojpuri, and Punjabi. The farmer can ask in their own language and get an answer in 3 seconds.
In our 100-farm field trial across Uttar Pradesh, farmers saved 25-30% diesel per season while maintaining the same crop yield. That translates to thousands of rupees saved per season per farmer.
Yes. Basic climate alerts and irrigation advice are free via WhatsApp. We believe every farmer deserves access to climate intelligence regardless of their ability to pay.
We are a DPIIT-recognized startup, incubated at AIC BIMTECH, with a working product tested on 100 real farms. We have UP Startup recognition, Import Export license, and AWS Startup recognition. We are currently at the seed stage.
India has 15 crore farming families, 86% of whom are smallholders with zero access to climate intelligence. The India AgriTech market is projected at $24 billion by 2030. ESG compliance alone (SEBI BRSR mandatory) is a multi-thousand crore annual market. We serve farmers, banks, insurers, and governments from one platform.
We maintain separate, detailed documentation for investors, banking institutions, and government bodies — each tailored to your decision-making process. Please reach out to saddam.hussain@rurtechforarayans.com and we'll walk you through it personally.
Yes. We provide verified crop health data, climate risk scoring, and yield predictions that help banks assess farm loans and insurers settle crop claims faster and more accurately. We have separate infrastructure briefs for institutional partners.
Yes. Our platform is designed to work alongside existing government programs. We provide district-level climate dashboards, automated environmental reporting, and crop loss assessment that can integrate with state agriculture departments and national schemes.
Global temperatures have already crossed the 1.5 degree threshold. Monsoons are erratic, diesel costs are rising 40% in 5 years, and the Iran-US conflict has pushed fertilizer prices up 10%. Farmers are being squeezed from every direction. The data to help them already exists — they just can't access it. We built the bridge.
RurTech for Arayans LLP is headquartered in Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. The founder is from Siddharth Nagar, UP. The platform was built and tested across multiple districts of Uttar Pradesh.
