There was a time when crop failures raised more questions than answers.
Today, those same challenges have shaped a new path, where agriculture meets intelligence.

Grateful for every setback that pushed me to rethink, rebuild, and reimagine farming.
This is just the beginning 🙂

From crop failure to code-led farming: An entrepreneur bets big on AI to grow high-value crops Vivek Raj wants to make farming as predictable as manufacturing so that a farmer can plan crop yields, timelines and income with near certainty

A great evening at Prix Galien India 2026, a gold standard in recognising breakthrough innovation in life sciences and healthcare. Listening to leaders across healthcare and life sciences was a reminder of both how far we have come, and how much more needs to be done to make quality care truly accessible.

While sharing my perspective on Building India’s Scalable and Trusted Health Innovation Ecosystem, I kept coming back to a simple question. If we are serious about improving the human condition, what is the quality of food we are putting into our systems?

Agriculture remains a foundational yet under discussed layer in this conversation. If we are serious about improving health at scale, we must rethink our food systems that directly influence nutrition, immunity, and long term well being.

It is time to bring a scientific and technology led approach that ensures precision, resilience, and consistency in food production.

Honoured to be part of the Modi Galien India 2026 platform, where science, innovation, and global leadership converge.

From agriculture to healthcare, the future is being shaped by intelligence, precision, and purpose.
Grateful to contribute to this dialogue on AI-driven agritech and sustainable food systems.

Happy to share my thoughts in *ET Edge Insights* on how the real measure of AI in India will go far beyond the current conversations around large language models and compute infrastructure.

In the article, I discuss how the real impact of AI will be seen in its ability to build systemic resilience and predictability across critical sectors. When applied thoughtfully, AI can strengthen decision-making, improve operational stability, and help organizations navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

For India, the opportunity lies not just in developing AI capabilities but in deploying them at scale to solve real-world challenges, enabling industries to become more efficient, adaptive, and future-ready.

The next phase of AI adoption in India will not just be about technology.
It will be about creating systems that are smarter, more resilient, and capable of delivering predictable outcomes in an increasingly complex world.

Panama Academy for Sports and Body Science

Panama Academy for Sports and Body Science is being built to redefine the future of athletic training where sports, science, and artificial intelligence work together. After four years of research, the academy will introduce advanced AI modules designed to study each athlete’s body structure, movement patterns, and behavioral performance. By analysing biomechanics, posture, speed mechanics, and physical response, the system will create highly personalised training programs for every athlete.

Our goal is to train athletes based on their natural body design and capability, helping them reach their absolute peak potential. From correcting posture to optimising running mechanics and movement efficiency, training will be guided through precision sports science and AI-driven insights. This groundbreaking approach will transform raw talent into disciplined, scientifically trained champions.

The facility will officially open in 2026, marking the beginning of a new era in athlete development in India.

AI will change agriculture more than tractors ever did.

Honoured to share my thoughts on the future of AI-driven agriculture and controlled-environment farming in Dainik Bhaskar, one of India’s largest newspapers.

In the interview, I spoke about how the next phase of agriculture will move from uncertainty to predictability ,powered by AI, indoor vertical farming, and intelligent biological systems.

We are also exploring areas that are still rarely discussed in India’s farming ecosystem ,such as indoor pollination systems for berries and regenerative soil biology through our Earth to Worm initiative, where earthworms help restore natural soil fertility.

The future of agriculture will not just depend on land and climate.
It will depend on data, biology, and intelligent systems working together.

Soon to be Chief Minister of Karnataka.

A leader who understands the heartbeat of the soil and the aspirations of the people. My interactions with Shri D.K. Shivakumar have always been deeply inspiring. His vision for empowering farmers and strengthening Karnataka’s agricultural backbone has encouraged many of us to think bigger and work towards meaningful innovation.

His valuable thoughts and encouragement pushed us to pursue advanced research in AI-driven agritech, leading to technologies and patents that can transform agriculture and help farmers achieve stable and sustainable incomes.

Karnataka stands at the threshold of a new era , one driven by innovation, infrastructure, and farmer prosperity. Leaders who understand both ground realities and future technologies are the ones who can truly transform a state.

Karnataka needs bold vision and decisive leadership.
And many believe that moment belongs to Shri D.K. Shivakumar. DK Shivakumar DK Suresh

Grateful to see the conversations from the India AI Summit 2026 reflected in the media. CNBC’s coverage highlights the growing importance of Responsible AI for Bharat and the need to build systems rooted in trust, safety, and real public impact.

It was happy to be part of this dialogue, especially on how AI can shape critical sectors like agriculture, sustainability, and national development.

From drought to disruption: Indian farmer bets ₹214 crore on AI-Powered Hydroponics - CNBC TV18 Vivek Raj's Panama Hydro-X invests ₹214 crore in AI-enabled hydroponic farming in Karnataka, targeting saffron, ginger, and medicinal plants for global markets.

Today, I had the opportunity to be part of the AI Global Impact Summit 2026, hosted in India. I participated in a panel discussion focused on the role of AI in Agritech and its transformative potential for food systems. The conversation explored how intelligent technologies are reshaping productivity, sustainability, and scalability in agriculture. Sharing key highlights from the discussion below.

India AI Impact Summit 2026: What does responsible AI for Bharat look like? Governance, talent upskilling, investment, and practical applications are key to building responsible AI for Bharat. Experts believe India’s AI story requires more sophisticated layers to become truly comprehensive.

Honoured to share that I will be speaking as a panelist at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, joining an exceptional group of leaders to discuss. Our Honourable Prime Minister will be inaugurating the Summit.

Responsible AI for Bharat: Building Trust, Safety, and Global Leadership, organized by the wonderful InMobi policy team.

As AI becomes central to governance, public services, and economic development, the conversation on Responsible AI is no longer optional; it is foundational. India is uniquely positioned to lead this global dialogue by shaping frameworks that balance innovation, inclusion, safety, and trust at population scale.

📍 Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi

As India advances toward becoming a global AI leader, the conversation must extend beyond capability to responsibility. Trust, governance frameworks, accountability, and public value will define the credibility of AI-led growth.

In sectors such as agriculture, food security, and climate-resilient systems, applied AI is not just a technology layer it is a strategic national asset. Responsible AI frameworks will determine how effectively innovation translates into societal impact.

I look forward to contributing to this important national dialogue and engaging with policymakers, technologists, and industry leaders shaping India’s AI future.

Grateful to the Government of India and the IndiaAI Mission for the opportunity.

Modi ji, loved your statement that you first mentioned in 2005 and again in that boring interview with Nikhil Kamath. Americans will lining up for Indian visas. Perfect example for Leadership lives in the future. Citizens live in reality. Thank god you dint tell, Indian Citizenship.
Btw, Indians line up to leave India. Most of them still queuing for passports, jobs, justice, and sometimes oxygen
Irony doesn’t get more patriotic than this. In Modis New India you find Queues everywhere except for results.
