Introduction
GSHOOTS AGTECH PRIVATE LIMITED was established in 2021 as an AgriTech venture with a twist. Using IoT, machine learning, and data science, the firm serves the needs of agriculture in the new age. With a focus on precision agriculture, GSHOOTS provides sophisticated crop monitoring solutions with real-time insights on soil condition, climate, and irrigation requirements. The solutions enable farmers to make informed, data-driven decisions that yield maximum output at minimal waste and environmental footprint. The firm aims to democratize access to smart agriculture technology to facilitate sustainable, efficient agriculture for small- and medium-scale farmers.
Tackling Agricultural Challenges
Farmers are confronted with low yields, wasteful consumption of inputs, unpredictable weather, and limited exposure to affordable technologies. Traditional methods lack precision and scalability. GSHOOTS solves these headaches through smart, affordable tools that increase water retention, lower input costs, and increase productivity. Their scalable solutions target mostly small- and medium-scale farmers, filling gaps in technology among conventional farmers, thereby harnessing the power of data to drive change.
Key Offerings
- IoT-Based Crop Monitoring System: Real-time data on weather, moisture, and soil health for accurate farm management.
- Mobile App: Monitors farm performance, gives reminders, and offers expert crop management tips.
- Data-Driven Irrigation Optimization: Scales back water use yet provides sufficient crop watering.
- Pesticide Reduction Use: Intelligent advice reduces pesticide usage, reducing cost and environmental pollution.
- Accessible Technology: Made easy to use by less technologically oriented farmers in an effort to encourage mass utilization.
Real Impact
GSHOOTS AGTECH has empowered small and medium-sized farming enterprises to increase crop yields by as much as 30%, cut down on water usage by 40%, and bring down pesticide expenditures by 25%. Such gains are proof of the efficacy of precision agriculture empowered by IoT and AI technology. Farmers have not only gained financially but also through increased sustainability, corroborating the vision of the company to make smart farming accessible and affordable.
Success Story

At the same time, AI-based alerts supported timely pest control with reduced chemicals, resulting in healthier plants and improved market prices. The success prompted neighboring farmers to adopt the technology, expanding GSHOOTS’ impact.
