Indian farmers and agricultural businesses unable to protect crops and livelihoods from increasingly severe climate-induced heat waves and disrupted monsoon patterns

Indian agricultural stakeholders face devastating crop failures, reduced yields, and financial losses due to extreme heat waves and unpredictable monsoon seasons intensified by climate change. Farmers lack accessible, affordable tools and strategies to predict weather patterns, adapt irrigation systems, select climate-resilient crop varieties, or hedge against climate-related financial risks. Current agricultural advisory systems and insurance products are inadequate, slow to adapt, and don't provide real-time, localized climate intelligence needed for daily farming decisions.
