[Sekhar]

Hi,

Is there anybody/any organisation in India that's working on using weather data to support decision making in farming/agricuture...

measure the impact of weather to help farmers manage the impact of weather...

something like what climate.com is doing.

There are some startups working on IOT + Analytics in farming. They have built some IOT kits (using sensors) to collect the data directly from the farm lands.

Thanks,
Arvind

Check out WOTR's work. I have been affiliated with the NGO for the last 12 years and they have done some innovative work with adapting to climate change and providing weather data to farmers via SMS.

I work at Infratab 

We are not exactly data science in farming - but rather into freshness and condition monitoring.

We are also not an Indian company - but half of the team is in bangalore and working on building out the server infrastructure and analytics - http://infratab.in
