WHY I AM A DRIVER:
I am not building one startup. I am building an ecosystem of innovations — each one targeting a real, documented failure point in agriculture that costs farmers their yield, income, and food security.
As a solo undergraduate founder with no external funding, every prototype built, every paper published, and every farmer interviewed is proof of execution under constraint.
I am not building quietly. I am building with purpose, with evidence, and with urgency — because 500 million farmers cannot wait.
