ABOUT SPOROS · OUR MISSION & STARTUP STORY

We are a 26-person agritech startup building plainspoken field and herd intelligence for working farmers.

Sporos is an independent, boots-on-the-ground startup. We started with a simple observation: rural farming families do not run disconnected corporate silos for their soil, their crops, their cattle, and their local mandi sales. Yet modern software has continually forced them into bloated, English-only apps designed for air-conditioned offices.

We are a tight-knit team of 26 agronomists, software engineers, veterinary researchers, and field specialists. Every instrument we craft is tested directly in the mud and sunlight with our initial farmer cohorts — engineered to run with one thumb on ₹6,000 Android phones, offline queued over patchy 2G networks, and stating confidence honestly without synthetic certainty.

THE SPOROS FIELD CHARTER

Four startup principles we will never compromise on

PRINCIPLE 01 · DATA OWNERSHIP

Your plot and herd records belong to you

A farmer’s land boundary, yield history, and dairy ledger are their personal livelihood asset. We never sell farm-level data to commodity speculators or agro-chemical marketers. Credit and insurance packets are shared only when the farmer explicitly approves via SMS passkey.

PRINCIPLE 02 · DATA HONESTY

We show confidence ranges, never fake certainty

Agriculture deals with living soil and shifting monsoons. Whether we are diagnosing leaf blight (e.g., 94.2% match) or projecting wheat harvest (18.6–20.2 quintals/acre), we always display the confidence interval and underlying inputs plainly.

PRINCIPLE 03 · ZERO INPUT KICKBACKS

Unbiased biological and generic chemical advice

As an independent startup, we do not take commissions or kickbacks from pesticide or feed manufacturers. Every disease diagnosis lists cultural and biological remedies first, and university-verified generic active-ingredient dosages second.

PRINCIPLE 04 · RADICAL ACCESSIBILITY

Voice, WhatsApp, and 2G SMS are first-class citizens

Every advisory and alert feature works in 12 Indian languages across spoken voice calls, compressed WhatsApp threads, and plain 2G SMS — so literacy or bandwidth never locks a family out.

OUR STARTUP STORY & TIMELINE

How our 26-person team came together

Sporos was founded by rural agronomists, dairy researchers, and systems engineers who set out to build tools that genuinely work for everyday farmers.

PHASE 01 · ROOTS

Field Listening & Understanding the Gaps

Our co-founders spent months working directly with smallholder tomato, onion, and wheat farmers in Maharashtra and Gujarat, observing why complex desktop-oriented apps failed on real farm boundaries.

PHASE 02 · BUILD

Assembling Our Core 26-Person Team

We brought together 26 passionate specialists — crop agronomists, veterinary scientists, machine learning engineers, and regional field coordinators — to build our offline-first camera and voice diagnostics.

PHASE 03 · PILOT

Active Field Deployments & Pilot Cohorts

Tested our sub-50 KB photo compression, 12-language voice AI, and cattle ration balancing models in pilot farmer clusters, iterating weekly based on real soil feedback.

2026 · TODAY

The Sporos Unified Platform Launch

Unifying crop disease detection, cattle health monitoring, mandi price tracking, voice advisory, and satellite stress alerts into one honest, accessible system for working farmers.
