Acharyaji asserts that the challenges faced by our nation are quite distinctive when compared to other countries. Our resources are limited unlike other nations and Agritech solutions should be customized as per our agricultural issues. Thereby, the need of the hour is a solution to deal with such problems at ground level, rather than just superficially focussing on data and technology. A deep insight into the agricultural space at ground level is required to be substantial in this direction where Bharuwa Solutions strives to make an impact.

The IT product portfolio in this direction will be unveiled next year, bringing waves of joy and prosperity across the space.
