Kashmir’s apple growers are facing a new reality: weather patterns, pests, diseases, changing orchard systems and rising input costs are making traditional farming decisions harder. 🍎🌦️
That is where Srinagar-based agritech startup Orchardly is stepping in. The company is building what it describes as an operating system for temperate horticulture.
Its platform combines weather intelligence, soil science, agronomy, AI, agricultural inputs, genetics, traceability and market access to help growers make better orchard-level decisions.
The journey began in 2022 when founders Izhan and Uzair Javeed started advising apple growers through a WhatsApp group. More than 500 growers reportedly registered on the platform on its first day through word of mouth.
Orchardly has since developed 40 micro-weather locations and says its systems have generated more than two million orchard data points. The platform has engaged over 15,000 growers and covers around 13,500 acres of horticulture land.
The company reported ₹15.26 crore revenue in FY2024-25 and ₹19 crore in FY2025-26, while remaining bootstrapped and EBITDA positive since inception.
This is what happens when local farming knowledge meets data, AI and hyperlocal weather intelligence.
