Nagpur agtech startup eVerse.AI deploys IoT wearable devices and multilingual generative AI assistants to predict disease and maximize smallholder milk output.
The global dairy market is witnessing a deep digital overhaul as advanced livestock precision tools penetrate smallholder farming communities. Leading this transformation in South Asia is Nagpur-based agtech startup eVerse.AI, established in 2022 by co-founders Ashish Sonkusare, Shailendra Narwade, and Vidhi Gaur. By merging Internet of Things (IoT) hardware with sophisticated machine learning models and blockchain ledgers, the enterprise is dismantling traditional production uncertainties to elevate on-farm efficiency.
The cornerstone of this technology stack is the Connected Cow Collar, an advanced biometric wearable that functions as a continuous diagnostic monitor for cattle. The specialized IoT device tracks critical biophysical indicators around the clock, including real-time physical activity levels, subtle changes in body temperature, rumination metrics, and micro-movement patterns. The streaming operational data is immediately aggregated via localized village LoRaWAN networks capable of supporting up to 2,000 devices per gateway over an 8-to-10-kilometer range.
This continuous biometric feedback loop completely redefines veterinary risk management by enabling early, predictive disease detection. The machine learning algorithms analyze personal behavioral baselines to flag oncoming pathologies like mastitis, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), and lumpy skin disease (LSD) long before visible clinical symptoms manifest. Furthermore, integrated GPS and geofencing capabilities deliver real-time location streaming to farmers’ mobile applications, eliminating the intense anxiety and financial losses associated with missing or straying livestock.
To bridge the digital divide in rural communities, the platform has launched CowGPT, a groundbreaking generative artificial intelligence conversational assistant accessible directly via WhatsApp. Operating in multiple regional Indian languages, CowGPT interprets natural voice notes or text queries to deliver instant, customized agronomic guidance on cattle nutrition, veterinary care, and breeding optimization. This automated advisory system provides smallholders with continuous access to specialized dairy expertise, ensuring timely artificial insemination alerts to maximize pregnancy success rates.
The macroeconomic footprint of this genetic and physical monitoring architecture has translated into an immediate farmgate production boom, with participating producers logging an additional two to three liters of milk per cow daily. Beyond elevating dairy profit lines, the technology acts as a vital tool for environmental sustainability by underpinning major carbon credit and emissions monitoring frameworks. Collaborating with sector leaders like Banas Dairy and the state-backed Maharashtra Methane Mission, the platform’s targeted intervention strategies are on track to slash livestock enteric methane emissions by up to 30 percent.
