More than 30 million farmers in Eastern India tend small plots that could be farmed year-round with appropriate irrigation. Khethworks builds reliable, solar-powered irrigation systems that enable their customers to farm through all three seasons, and already has multiple pilot sites on the ground. As a company emerging from the MIT Tata Center ecosystem, the Khethworks team is proud to be supported by the Tata Trusts and to be a member of the 2015 cohort of MIT’s Global Founders’ Skills Accelerator.
