IIT Bombay Collaboration — SINE & Rahul Bajaj Centre
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai
In September 2026, Om Agro leadership led by Founder & CEO Ashok Janardhan Argade visited the Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE) and the state-of-the-art Rahul Bajaj Technology Innovation Centre at IIT Bombay. Discussions focused on commercializing AI-based crop scouting, autonomous swarm spraying protocols, and indigenous sensor development to advance Indian agricultural self-reliance.
Active Research & Innovation Projects
Autonomous LiDAR & 3D Computer Vision Obstacle Avoidance
Solid-state LiDAR with 360-degree real-time point-cloud scanning paired with optical flow cameras to detect high-tension power cables, tree branches, and telephone poles at speeds up to 12 m/s.
Solar-Powered Mobile Field Fast-Charging Stations
Off-grid 3.6kW foldable monocrystalline solar trailer equipped with intelligent LiFePO4 buffer storage, enabling continuous 10-minute battery swaps in remote dryland farms lacking grid electricity.
AI Multispectral Crop Health & NDVI Analysis Suite
Near-infrared 5-band multispectral imagery processed via cloud neural networks to generate prescription spray maps, spraying only infested crop patches and reducing chemical consumption by over 45%.
Multi-UAS Swarm Spraying Algorithms for Large Cooperatives
Decentralized mesh networking allowing 3 to 6 Om Agro D10 drones to coordinate simultaneous autonomous flight paths over 100+ acre sugar mills and cotton estates without flight controller interference.
