As the largest producer of milk, second largest producer of cow milk, and the third-largest producer of eggs, India is growing in stature as an exporter of animal products. The potential is high for the sector to be a global leader in the coming decade.
To compete globally, innovations including tech adoption, optimizing of supply chains, quality benchmarking and standardization must be adopted by the sector. Animal Husbandry was introduced in the National Startup Awards 2021 to recognise exceptional startups in the sector.
Stellapps is the first of its kind startup in India, working towards digitizing the dairy supply chain. Their primary focus is on data acquisition and machine learning. Milk is the largest crop on this planet. There is a strong need for technology interventions, especially in the emerging markets where the yield per animal is low, traceability is inadequate, and quality is not up to the mark. Digitization of the Agri-Dairy supply chain in the emerging markets is where they help unlock unprecedented value on an immense scale.
Stellapps is a full-stack IoT company that provides end-to-end technology solutions for the dairy industry. Their IoT and cloud-based solutions help farmers increase milk productivity, reduce costs, wastage and ensure better milk quality. They enable value-added services like banking, veterinary care, insurance, nutrition advisory, feed-fodder provision, credit, digital payments, etc. They enhance the profitability of milk processors through intelligent procurement, cold chain, and data analytics services. Their solutions increase efficiency, productivity and ensure transparency, traceability, and premium milk quality. These benefits pass down to farmers and increase their income.
