‘Milk’ contributes close to the 1/3rd of gross income of rural households. The livestock sector contributes to 4% of Indias GDP and the dairy sector comprises majority of share. Unfortunately, the sector in India is mostly dominated by population beyond the reach of technological advancement for urban India. This has resulted dealing with the dairy based business through perception and experience based decision making. This trend is negatively impacting the productivity/ efficiency of the business model. The impact happens majorly in 2 different ways (a) Missing the right biological window of Artificial insemination for the cattle which is the cause of Milk generation and (b) Undiagnosed/late diagnosed health issues for the cattle being the cause of immature deaths. Also, dairy, as a form of inventory management through tracking/managing assets, is an under explored sector. FlixDrop created an one stop solution to cater all such issues to support & help to increase farmers earning.
