Mumbai, February 23, 2026: Findability Sciences, a global leader in artificial intelligence, showcased its commitment to AI-driven rural transformation at a CEO roundtable hosted by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis. The event took place alongside the AI4Agri 2026 Global Conference in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex.
The roundtable brought together top business leaders from India’s leading enterprises, including Godrej, Mahindra, Reliance, Tata, and Jain Irrigation. Senior government officials were also present, including Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh, Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, and Ministers Dattatray Bharane, Bharat Gogawale, and Ashish Jaiswal. The discussions focused on building a collaborative roadmap to integrate AI solutions into agriculture and allied rural sectors.
Anand Mahurkar, Founder and CEO of Findability Sciences, highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence to empower farmers, dairy producers, and other stakeholders in Maharashtra’s agrarian economy. He emphasised that AI can provide actionable insights without adding upfront capital burdens, making technology accessible to small and marginal producers.
The roundtable featured practical, scalable ideas to transform agriculture using AI. Remote sensing technologies can provide real-time insights on crop health, detect stress patterns, and generate accurate yield forecasts. Advanced AI applications in the dairy and sugar sectors can reduce operational inefficiencies, minimise losses, and improve profitability for state producers and cooperative societies. These initiatives aim to enhance productivity while ensuring that technology adoption remains affordable and impactful.
Mr. Mahurkar noted, “We are encouraged by the Maharashtra Government’s vision to harness AI for inclusive growth. Strategic collaboration between the public sector and industry leaders can extend high-impact technology into the daily livelihoods of farmers and rural enterprises.”
The CEO roundtable, part of the AI4Agri 2026 Global Conference, reflected a shared commitment to co-innovate solutions that elevate farmer incomes, strengthen food security, and increase resilience against climate volatility.
As Maharashtra moves toward AI-enabled rural development, partnerships like this are expected to accelerate technological adoption across agriculture. By combining government support, industry expertise, and AI capabilities, the state aims to modernise its agricultural sector while ensuring inclusive growth for rural communities.
