Gruner Renewable Energy, one of the country’s fastest-growing renewable energy companies, has entered the agtech space with the launch of Kisani Urjaa Pvt. Ltd. (KUPL).
Gruner has invested $1 million in the new venture, in which it will use digital innovation and sustainable practices. Committed to enhancing farmer livelihoods, Kisani Urjaa integrates cutting-edge technology and data-driven solutions to optimise productivity, streamline agricultural waste management, and provide seamless access to essential farming services.
With India generating approximately 620 million tonnes of agricultural waste annually, only 25-30 per cent is effectively utilised for fodder and energy production. The improper disposal of agricultural residue, particularly stubble burning, remains a major contributor to air pollution and environmental degradation.
Waste management
KUPL aims to address these challenges by introducing efficient agricultural waste management solutions, empowering farmers and promoting sustainability.
Utkarsh Gupta, Founder & CEO of Gruner Group, said, “By integrating digital innovation with grassroots agricultural needs, we aim to create a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous future for India’s farming communities.”
KUPL specialises in the sustainable collection and management of paddy straw and other agricultural residues, offering farmers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods.
Its key initiatives include field clearance for the next crop cycles by assisting farmers and environmental conservationby implementing sustainable agricultural practices to minimize environmental impact.
Mobile app
A press release from the Gruner Group said to further streamline feedstock collection, KUPL has introduced the Kisani Mobile App, a digital platform that seamlessly connects farmers with the company’s services. The app allows farmers to register and list their available feedstock, ensuring quick and hassle-free scheduling for residue collection.
By providing a convenient and efficient solution, it helps farmers monetise agricultural waste, reduce environmental impact, and enhance their income opportunities.
“Through this technology-driven approach, KUPL is transforming farm waste into a valuable resource, fostering a more sustainable and profitable future for India’s agricultural sector,” the release said.
