Two young entrepreneurs from Kerala, Vipin K V and Vignesh Murugan, founders of Autogenbot incubated at Kerala Startup Mission’s Maker Village in Kochi, have been selected to showcase their agricultural robot, Automist 500X, at the GOFAR 2025 Forum in the United States. GOFAR, organized by FIRA USA, is one of the world’s leading platforms for farm robotics and automation.
Automist 500X: Precision Farming Innovation
Developed over two years with funding from the founders and government grants, the Automist 500X is designed to transform orchard farming. By automating precision spraying, the robot helps farmers cut 50–60% of input costs, including pesticides and labor, while improving efficiency and sustainability. Its advanced capabilities have already drawn international attention.
Global Launch in California
The official global launch of Automist 500X is scheduled for October 21–23, 2025, in Woodland, California. This event marks a major milestone for Autogenbot and highlights the increasing global recognition of Indian agri-tech innovations.
