When India needs to know what's really happening on the ground,
it asks Agrisk.

Our Commitment

To empower businesses with actionable intelligence by converting scattered data into meaningful insights and early-warning signals, enabling informed, timely and strategic decisions.

How we work

Collect at scale → Model with AI & science → Deliver in near real time

One capability core, pointed at whatever question a vertical needs answered.

01 · Collect

Data at scale

Large field & respondent networks, satellite & IoT/weather-station feeds and curated sources, from crop fields to 45,000+ respondents in a single study.

02 · Model

AI & science, in-house

Our own models do the work: machine learning, satellite fusion, statistical sampling and the FuzzyJay sentiment/intent engine, built and owned by Agrisk.

03 · Deliver

Intelligence, continuously

Forecasts, early-warning signals, sentiment reads, dashboards and advisories: accurate, consistent, and fast enough to act on.

About us

An independent data entity, built on science

Agrisk Data Analytics began operations in January 2017 as a DIPP-recognised startup, on a simple conviction: decision-makers need an independent data entity that can measure reality at scale and has the scientific and AI muscle to draw accurate inferences from it. We proved it first in agriculture (as Hummingbird, Asia's first independent agri-information system) and today apply the same engine across climate, public opinion, government and markets. Founded by Ravishankar Mantha, Sankara Pillai and Umesh Ikhe, and backed by early believers including Mr. S. Ramadorai, Mr. Ranjith Barthakur and CIIE, Ahmedabad.
