The latest type of certification received for our product AGRIBOT A6 is a testimony of our continuous endeavour to develop high-quality and innovative products,” said Mr. Anoop Upadhyay, another Co-Founder and Director of the company.

He further said that from a farmer’s perspective, a AGRIBOT A6 drone is very easy to transport and operate because of its compact design.
