Mitti Labs
Satellite GeoAI and field programmes for water-resilient, low-methane rice farming
About Mitti Labs
Mitti Labs is a deep-tech company based in New York and Bengaluru that combines satellite technology, AI and field operations to make rice farming more water- and climate-resilient. Its GeoAI platform, developed with NASA support, fuses high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data with field-collected ground truth and physical models to create plot-level digital twins of rice fields, generating insights on crop health, soil moisture and flooding. Mitti Labs uses these insights to help smallholder farmers adopt Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation, which can cut water use by close to 40% and methane emissions by more than 50% while maintaining yields, and runs what it describes as the largest AWD rice programme globally, generating verified outcomes and revenue for farmers. Customers include Cool Effect, Ebro Foods and Syngenta. Founded in 2023 by Devdut Dalal, Xavier Laguarta Soler and Nate Torbick, the company has about 150 employees. After a $3 million seed round in 2024 backed by Lightspeed and Voyager Ventures, on 5 August 2026 Mitti Labs announced a $9.5 million Series A led by Aramco Ventures with Lightspeed India, Godrej Industries Group, Cisco Foundation, Francis Family Fund and Volta Circle, bringing total funding to $12.5 million, to expand across India and launch projects in the Philippines and Indonesia.
