What if smallholder farmers could save ₹500/month on inputs & protect ₹2000 crops from pests—by spending just ₹9/week?
496M smallholders in the Global South.
Micro-payments. Web3. AI.
Huge ROI.
A small thread follows.
According to the UN FAO, there are 496 million smallholder farmers in the Global South.
24% of them are in India.
Most farm <2 hectares.
And 70% are unbanked.
Due to credit gaps, many grow just 1.5 crops/year (vs. 2 full seasons).

My kids started an online store to sell their merchandise like colored pencils and bracelets made of beads at the age of 8 and 10.
In April 2016, I started @KratosInnoLabs at the peak of my corporate career, just a month before I turned 40.
My well wishers, friends and family keep asking me why?
Naturally, #entrepreneurship is not easy and not for faint hearted. It is 99% hard work coupled with 1% luck.
More than 96% start ups could not sustain the pandemic.
We sustained.

@token2049 is around the corner.
Sep 11 to Sep 17, 2023 will be a busy week in #Singapore with pre-events lined up for #token2049 followed by F1 Street Circuit #singaporegrandprix2023 co-organized by #SingaporeTourismBoard.
Here are the list of #Dos and #DoNots while you are visiting Singapore.
All the below tips will help you enjoy #singapore as a #traveler and not as a #tourist.
Why am I sharing this?
I have been a resident of #Singapore for past 20 years and am happy to share some tips that could enhance your experience and also save some money.
I will share tips from the time you land in @ChangiAirport and depart from here.
1. Most hotels in Singapore allow you to check-in only after 2 PM local time.
In case, your flight lands early morning, do not fret.
Once you exit from airport, stay within the transit area and do NOT exit the immigration.
There are transit hotels that allow you to have a nice shower for approx. SGD 20 | More info is at

In my 7 years of #Perseverance as a #blockchain platform #founder of @KratosInnoLabs the mistakes that I did and you do NOT have to repeat are:
1. For the initial couple of years, chased investors (should have chased customers)
Continued in this thread...
2. Was an absolute introvert and the world never knew we existed for almost 6 years ( last year during this time, started attending lot of conferences and started speaking at various #web3 events). Spoke at #nastech , #w3summit , #wowsummit and @web3conf_india last week.
