Lighting the last mile

Vision of an inclusive, equitable India

- 

Rishikesh Amit Nayak, 22, is the young founder of DAIRA EdTech, India's first dedicated EdTech browser and R&D lab, driven by a mission to solve deep-rooted learning challenges through research-led, inclusive technology.

His innovation journey began with an AI-powered crop protection platform that used satellite imagery and farmer-reported data to predict pest outbreaks, delivering timely crop health alerts directly to farmers' phones. The solution not only helped prevent losses but also shaped his belief that technology must be preventive, accessible, and rooted in grassroots realities.
