About UrbanKisaan
The company in one paragraph.
UrbanKisaan designs, builds and hands over indoor farms, greenhouses, speed-breeding rooms and phenotyping platforms, and supplies the software that runs them and the seed and nutrients that go into them. It builds for governments, research institutions, seed companies and growers across the Caribbean, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Central Asia. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Hyderabad, India, UrbanKisaan is backed by Y Combinator, BASF Venture Capital and Titan Capital.
UrbanKisaan is one word, with a capital U and a capital K. The logo sets it in lower case; in text, the name keeps both capitals.
