Building an OS for the apple industry; Inner healing to build peace in conflict zones
Orchardly is a bootstrapped Srinagar agritech startup combining farm intelligence, physical stores, soil testing and produce buyback. Meanwhile, through the Art of Living, Lena Lieberknecht is bringing stress-relief programmes to people living and working in conflict zones.
In the world of technology, Orchardly, a Srinagar-based agritech startup, is setting out to revolutionize the apple industry. Founded by Ehsan Quddusi, Izhan, and Uzair Javeed in 2021, Orchardly aims to provide localized intelligence and services to Kashmir's temperate horticulture. The startup is essentially an operating system for the apple industry, addressing the unique challenges faced by growers in the region due to varying factors like elevation, slope, microclimate, soil, and canopy.
By building a connected stack of intelligence, inputs, services, and market access, Orchardly seeks to give one of the world's finest fruit-growing regions the infrastructure it has never had before. If successful, Orchardly could potentially grow into India's first agritech unicorn, proving that models built in Kashmir can scale across the country.
