Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a key driver of innovation across industries, and India’s sugar sector is no exception. In recognition of its contribution to digital transformation in the industry, Findability Sciences has been awarded the prestigious “Excellence in AI for Sugar Industry” title at the 3rd Sugar, Ethanol & BioEnergy International Awards (SEIA) 2026.
The award was presented during the opening evening of the Sugar, Ethanol & Bioenergy India Conference 2026, one of the industry’s most influential gatherings. Organised by ChiniMandi, the awards celebrate organisations and individuals making a significant impact on the sugar, ethanol and bioenergy sectors.
The recognition highlights Findability Sciences’ growing role in helping one of India’s most important agro-industrial sectors embrace data-driven decision-making. As the world’s second-largest sugar producer, India faces increasing pressure to improve sugarcane productivity, enhance mill efficiency, meet ethanol blending targets and achieve sustainability goals. Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool to address these challenges, and Findability Sciences has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation.
The company has been developing AI-powered solutions that connect agricultural data, factory operations and enterprise-level decision-making into a unified intelligence platform. By integrating information from farms, mills and business systems, the company enables stakeholders to make faster and more informed decisions.
Speaking about the achievement, Anand Mahurkar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Findability Sciences, emphasised the broader impact of technology on the sugar ecosystem. He noted that the sugar, ethanol and bioenergy sectors support millions of farming families and play a vital role in India’s energy security. According to him, many critical decisions in the industry have traditionally relied on experience rather than real-time intelligence. The company’s goal is to bridge that gap by providing actionable insights that improve productivity and outcomes across the value chain.
Findability Sciences has built a specialised portfolio of AI solutions tailored to agriculture and sugar production. Among its key offerings is Stoma Sense, a platform that delivers crop intelligence and field-level insights directly to farmers. Another solution, Stoma Insight, provides analytics and decision-support capabilities for stakeholders throughout the sugar value chain, helping them optimise operations and improve efficiency.
The company has also established a strong presence through strategic partnerships and field-level initiatives. Its collaboration with Grupo Pantaleon focuses on deploying advanced AI technologies across the sugar value chain. In India, the company has worked with the Agricultural Development Trust in Baramati, where AI adoption has received recognition for delivering measurable results. It is also involved in the Jalna Super 50 AI Farmers Programme, implemented in partnership with the District Administration of Jalna and the Maharashtra Agriculture Department to bring AI-driven advisory support to sugarcane farmers.
The award comes at a time when India’s sugar and ethanol sectors are undergoing rapid change. Government initiatives promoting ethanol blending, sustainability and agricultural productivity are encouraging industries to adopt new technologies that can deliver long-term benefits.
For Findability Sciences, the recognition serves as validation of its efforts to use artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges. More importantly, it reflects a growing shift within the sugar industry towards smarter, technology-enabled operations that benefit farmers, mill operators and the broader economy alike.
