14 July 2026, Bengaluru: Cropin has launched OrbitAI, an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) platform for food and agriculture, developed on Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure. The platform was announced at Google I/O and is designed to support decision-making across agricultural value chains using agricultural, climate, soil, weather and geospatial data.
According to the company, OrbitAI has been trained using Cropin’s agricultural datasets collected over 15 years, covering operations in 103 countries, more than 400 crops, over 10,000 crop varieties and more than 1 billion acres of farmland.
The platform combines Google’s AI infrastructure, including Gemini models, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Agent Development Kit, BigQuery, Google Cloud and WeatherNext, with Cropin’s agricultural intelligence.
OrbitAI uses AI agents to provide recommendations for users across the food system. The company said users can ask questions in natural language and receive responses based on agricultural and climate data.
Cropin cited examples including a sourcing manager assessing soybean supply risks in Maharashtra over the next 90 days and a potato farmer in China’s Gansu province seeking disease-risk assessments for crops.
“AI has transformed how the world accesses information. The next transformation is how the world makes decisions about food,” said Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO of Cropin. “OrbitAI pairs Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure with Cropin’s predictive models trained on fifteen years of agricultural data.”
Sashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, said the platform is intended to help organizations deploy AI-based workflows for operational decision-making.
