About

I am the Founder & CEO of INNOFarms.AI - an AIoT SaaS & Robotics company building the digital backbone for tomorrow’s food systems across MENA, SEA, India, and Beyond. With 19+ years across technology, strategy, investment banking (UBS, JPMorgan), digital transformation (AIA, Manulife, Esprit), and venture building (PocketTrader), I specialize in building scalable ventures that sit at the intersection of AI, deeptech, and sustainability. My focus is on creating AI-driven Digital infrastructure-layer platforms that deliver both commercial returns and lasting impact. I’m now focused on solving one of the world’s biggest problems: How do we create resilient, profitable, intelligent food systems at scale? Our Global's First unified platform, which unifies • Enterprise AgriFood Intelligence for AgriFood-Businesses - retailers, F&B, foodservice & processors • Crop & Farm Intelligence for CEA, greenhouse, and precision farms • AIoT automation, robotics & real-time data visibility • Demand–supply forecasting, traceability & ESG intelligence We help enterprises secure reliable, transparent supply chains — and empower growers to operate with lower OPEX, higher yields, and predictable quality. Today, we are working with partners across the GCC, India, and Southeast Asia to deploy an enterprise-led model that brings modern intelligence to hundreds of farms without requiring them to make heavy upfront investments. I’m actively collaborating with food retailers, agribusinesses, F&B groups, and government food programs who are shaping the next generation of climate-resilient food infrastructure. If you’re investing in AgriFoodTech, AI/IoT SaaS, robotics, or food-system infrastructure — or building the future of food security — let’s connect. www.INNOFarms.AI Request Full Pitch Deck: Brajendra.Yadav@INNOFarms.AI Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/brajendra-yadav-innofarms/30min
