A traditional farm wired for the future — rooted in Western Ghats soil, alive with IoT, built for pilots that need real ground beneath them.
A regenerative farm in the Western Ghats — areca and pepper, jackfruit, a young forest plantation, biocompost, biochar, and rainwater harvesting in build.
It also runs as a living lab: 50+ acres of managed ground that's instrumented, documented, and open to ventures that need real conditions — not a demo plot — to prove something works.
3,000 areca palms with pepper trained up the trunks, jackfruit, banana, and a regenerating forest plantation — a canopy, not a monoculture.
Farm waste becomes fertility on-site: a 200L biochar retort and 30 batch-tracked biocompost piles. Solar powered where it counts.
Live weather, soil sensors over LoRaWAN, and BirdNET acoustic monitoring — a live data baseline running across the plots.
Built and run by Kiran Gange — where his work on data-driven systems meets soil.
Kiran also founded RapidPricer (AI retail pricing, Amsterdam). Aré Guḍi is the ground where that thinking gets tested against monsoon, lateritic soil, and a working crop.
Building agri-tech, sensors, or biological inputs and need real ground to validate on?
Aré Guḍi is a test-bed with the team, conditions, and instrumentation already in place — a full monsoon cycle and a mature commercial crop, not a greenhouse.
Individual visits are by approval, 5-night minimum. The eco-built farmhouse is your base — clean, connected, productive, in the middle of the Western Ghats.
