Agritech Pioneer Delivers 6-Hour Predictions At 10×10 Km Resolution To Empower Farmers And Cities

Bengaluru-based agritech startup Fyllo has unveiled DeepMet 1, an AI-powered weather prediction model that delivers hyperlocal rainfall forecasts up to six hours ahead with unprecedented precision. Operating at a 10×10 kilometer resolution tailored for the Indian subcontinent, the model analyzes satellite observations from the previous six hours to generate localized precipitation insights, distinguishing rain variations between neighboring villages, streets, or farmland blocks.​

Bridging The Gap In Traditional Forecasting

DeepMet 1 addresses critical shortcomings in conventional numerical weather prediction systems, which often fail to capture India’s diverse microclimates and rapid weather shifts. By leveraging advanced AI trained on INSAT satellite data, the model excels in short-term forecasting for high-stakes decisions in agriculture, urban planning, and energy management. Farmers gain real-time alerts to optimize irrigation and protect crops from sudden downpours, while cities mitigate flood risks and power grid strains from unexpected rain.​

The platform supports real-time deployment through seamless API integration, enabling instant adoption by logistics firms for delivery optimization, financial services for risk modeling, and research institutions for climate analysis. A public live dashboard visualizes forecasts nationwide, democratizing access to hyperlocal intelligence previously limited to large enterprises.​

Real-World Impact Across Sectors

For India’s 150 million farmers, DeepMet 1 means fewer crop losses from erratic monsoons, stabilizing yields amid climate volatility. Urban operators use it to predict delivery delays and costs, while energy providers balance grids against rain-induced demand spikes. Sumit Sheoran, Fyllo co-founder, emphasized that general forecasts overlook local nuances, but DeepMet 1 equips stakeholders with actionable, village-level insights.​

Fyllo, backed by India Quotient and SIDBI Venture Capital, has grown into one of India’s fastest-scaling agritech firms by deploying farm sensors for crop health, nutrient, and disease monitoring. DeepMet 1 extends this ecosystem, serving thousands of farmers and agri-enterprises with integrated climate intelligence.​

Future Roadmap And Market Potential

Future iterations will expand to multi-parameter forecasts including temperature, humidity, and wind speed via multi-task learning. As hyperlocal weather tech disrupts a $1 Bn+ global market, Fyllo positions DeepMet 1 as a cornerstone for resilient agriculture and urban resilience in monsoon-dependent India.
