I am originally a civil engineer turned agro-edapho-climatologist. My interest in sustainable agriculture began during my bachelor's, after a conference introduced me to drone irrigation and high tech farming. To address low farmer profits from small landholdings, I converted rice husk waste into eco friendly building blocks, creating farmer income while cutting emissions. I completed a Master's in Irrigation Water Management at Anna University, Chennai, graduating as the first rank holder, studying climate impacts on black gram using machine learning, and co-founded the NGO Hydrosphere Reserve for sustainable farming outreach. My PhD at IIT Roorkee focuses on mapping India's rice yields from 2004 to 2021 using self-supervised machine learning, alongside research on methane emissions and inland waterbody dynamics, supported by the CLIFF GRADS fellowship at the University of Galway and travel grants from ANRF, EGU, IEEE, and Ministry of Education. I lead PAYIR, a farm advisory startup that translates this research into real world tools for insurance and agribusiness companies, using AI driven yield and risk models to help them serve smallholder farmers better.
