GoCarin Nets Rs.49 Lakh to Build Smarter Livestock & Farm Management Tech
Empowering India’s Farmers with Precision Tools
Modelled on the concept of livestock and farm management, GoCarin Industries Pvt Ltd is a Bengaluru-based AgriTech startup, which has raised seed funding of Rs.49 lakh from KIIT Technology Business Incubator (TBI) under the Government of India’s BIRAC LEAP program. The funding was announced in June 2025 and is a turning point for GoCarin to work towards building accessible and technology-driven solutions for smallholder farmers in India. With innovations based on IoT, AI, and sensor tech, GoCarin aims to drive feed efficiency, traceability, and farm output so its solutions can uplift rural productivity and sustainable agricultural practices across the underserved communities.
Elevating Farmers with Smart, Data-Led Tools
GoCarin is an IoT-, AI-, and sensor-driven AgriTech startup founded by Dr. Ramanuj Panda that is transforming livestock and farm management for small and marginal farmers. The company builds integrated tools for feed efficiency, real-time health tracking, traceability, and data-led productivity. By digitizing rural agricultural value chains—from soil to harvesting—GoCarin supports smarter and sustainable decisions. GoCarin’s mission is to empower underprivileged farming communities using affordable, scalable technology alterations with productivity and profitability through the rural heartlands of India.
Fueling Growth: A Strategic Seed Round
GoCarin’s Rs.49 lakh infusion via BIRAC LEAP combines capital with mentorship and market access—critical accelerants for early-stage AgriTech startups. This support broadens the startup’s horizon:
- Scale operations through enhanced manufacturing and deployment.
- Expand R&D efforts for smarter livestock monitoring tools.
- Grow its reach beyond Karnataka into broader markets, including rural clusters nationwide.
Tech-Driven Solutions with Real Impact
GoCarin is developing a comprehensive suite of game-changing solutions that includes livestock management tools for feed optimization, health alerts, and traceability; farm monitoring platforms to monitor soil health, crop cycles, and post-harvest operations; and a package of IoT-enabled sensors with a very easy dashboard streamlining data insights for farmers. True to the BIRAC LEAP mission, this startup intends to make accessible and tech-driven innovations for improving rural productivity and sustainability in India.
Why It Matters
India’s agriculture hinges on smallholders with limited tech access. With BIRAC’s validation and Rs.49 lakh in capital, GoCarin is set to pilot its solutions in farmer networks—enabling data-backed growth in livestock output and farm efficiency. This round situates GoCarin among a select group of BIRAC-backed startups that have triggered wider adoption through tech-first solutions like Otipy, Farmley, and Crofarm. Though seed-stage, this milestone signals potential for scalability and social impact.
Next Moves
GoCarin intends to leverage select farmer clusters in Karnataka to launch its early-stage prototypes to validate product-market fit and gain field insights. It is collaborating with local FPOs and NGOs to ensure adoption at the grassroots level and feedback for improvements. At the same time, the establishment of a core team is in progress, bringing together agrotech experts with specialization in product design, technology, and outreach to farmers for more rapid development. These endeavors wish to create scalable and impact-oriented solutions needed specifically by rural farming communities in India.
