There was a time when crop failures raised more questions than answers.
Today, those same challenges have shaped a new path, where agriculture meets intelligence.

Grateful for every setback that pushed me to rethink, rebuild, and reimagine farming.
This is just the beginning 🙂

From crop failure to code-led farming: An entrepreneur bets big on AI to grow high-value crops Vivek Raj wants to make farming as predictable as manufacturing so that a farmer can plan crop yields, timelines and income with near certainty

Honoured to be part of the Modi Galien India 2026 platform, where science, innovation, and global leadership converge.

From agriculture to healthcare, the future is being shaped by intelligence, precision, and purpose.
Grateful to contribute to this dialogue on AI-driven agritech and sustainable food systems.

Happy to share my thoughts in *ET Edge Insights* on how the real measure of AI in India will go far beyond the current conversations around large language models and compute infrastructure.

In the article, I discuss how the real impact of AI will be seen in its ability to build systemic resilience and predictability across critical sectors. When applied thoughtfully, AI can strengthen decision-making, improve operational stability, and help organizations navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

For India, the opportunity lies not just in developing AI capabilities but in deploying them at scale to solve real-world challenges, enabling industries to become more efficient, adaptive, and future-ready.

The next phase of AI adoption in India will not just be about technology.
It will be about creating systems that are smarter, more resilient, and capable of delivering predictable outcomes in an increasingly complex world.

AI will change agriculture more than tractors ever did.

Honoured to share my thoughts on the future of AI-driven agriculture and controlled-environment farming in Dainik Bhaskar, one of India’s largest newspapers.

In the interview, I spoke about how the next phase of agriculture will move from uncertainty to predictability ,powered by AI, indoor vertical farming, and intelligent biological systems.

We are also exploring areas that are still rarely discussed in India’s farming ecosystem ,such as indoor pollination systems for berries and regenerative soil biology through our Earth to Worm initiative, where earthworms help restore natural soil fertility.

The future of agriculture will not just depend on land and climate.
It will depend on data, biology, and intelligent systems working together.

Grateful to see the conversations from the India AI Summit 2026 reflected in the media. CNBC’s coverage highlights the growing importance of Responsible AI for Bharat and the need to build systems rooted in trust, safety, and real public impact.

It was happy to be part of this dialogue, especially on how AI can shape critical sectors like agriculture, sustainability, and national development.

From drought to disruption: Indian farmer bets ₹214 crore on AI-Powered Hydroponics - CNBC TV18 Vivek Raj's Panama Hydro-X invests ₹214 crore in AI-enabled hydroponic farming in Karnataka, targeting saffron, ginger, and medicinal plants for global markets.

Today, I had the opportunity to be part of the AI Global Impact Summit 2026, hosted in India. I participated in a panel discussion focused on the role of AI in Agritech and its transformative potential for food systems. The conversation explored how intelligent technologies are reshaping productivity, sustainability, and scalability in agriculture. Sharing key highlights from the discussion below.

India AI Impact Summit 2026: What does responsible AI for Bharat look like? Governance, talent upskilling, investment, and practical applications are key to building responsible AI for Bharat. Experts believe India’s AI story requires more sophisticated layers to become truly comprehensive.

Honoured to share that I will be speaking as a panelist at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, joining an exceptional group of leaders to discuss. Our Honourable Prime Minister will be inaugurating the Summit.

Responsible AI for Bharat: Building Trust, Safety, and Global Leadership, organized by the wonderful InMobi policy team.

As AI becomes central to governance, public services, and economic development, the conversation on Responsible AI is no longer optional; it is foundational. India is uniquely positioned to lead this global dialogue by shaping frameworks that balance innovation, inclusion, safety, and trust at population scale.

📍 Catch the session:

🗓 16 Feb, 2026

🕦 11:30 AM

📌 Bharat Mandapam | L1 – Meeting Room 6

Looking forward to engaging with fellow panelists, policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators on how India can set global benchmarks for trusted AI.

See you there.

Honoured to be invited as a Speaker at the AI Impact Summit 2026, under the Government of India’s IndiaAI Mission.

I will be participating in the session:

“Responsible AI for Bharat: Building Trust, Safety, and Global Leadership”
🗓 16 February 2026
📍 Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi

As India advances toward becoming a global AI leader, the conversation must extend beyond capability to responsibility. Trust, governance frameworks, accountability, and public value will define the credibility of AI-led growth.

In sectors such as agriculture, food security, and climate-resilient systems, applied AI is not just a technology layer it is a strategic national asset. Responsible AI frameworks will determine how effectively innovation translates into societal impact.

I look forward to contributing to this important national dialogue and engaging with policymakers, technologists, and industry leaders shaping India’s AI future.

Grateful to the Government of India and the IndiaAI Mission for the opportunity.

Pleased to share my latest article published in Hindustan Times.

In this piece, I explore why predictability has become the new productivity in agriculture, and why it is central to securing India’s sovereign food interests. As climate volatility, supply-chain disruptions, and resource constraints intensify, food systems can no longer depend on uncertainty-driven models.

The future lies in controlled environments, data-led cultivation, and technology that delivers consistency, resilience, and reliability, not just higher yields. Predictable agriculture is no longer an efficiency upgrade; it is national infrastructure.

Why predictability is the new productivity - Securing India’s sovereign food interests This article is authored by Vivek Raj, member, World Economic Forum’s Global Growth Companies (GGC).

Delighted to share my first OpEd in ET today, written from conversations and insights at the Global Leaders meeting at the World Economic Forum, Davos, on the future of cutting-edge, AI-led, sustainable agriculture.

In today’s world, productivity alone is no longer enough. What truly matters is predictability. Climate volatility, geopolitical disruptions, and fragile supply chains have shown us that food security is not about producing more, but about producing reliably. For a country like India, feeding nearly one-fifth of the global population with limited natural resources, predictability in agriculture is a matter of sovereignty, not efficiency.

Technology, data, and AI-driven farming systems must now work hand in hand with policy and farmers to reduce uncertainty and build resilience. When agriculture becomes predictable, nations become resilient. We at Panama Corp leverage AI to maximize productivity, to end world hunger.

Would love to hear your thoughts 😊🙏
