DayaTani was co-founded by Ankit Gupta and Deryl Lu in 2023 with a singular vision: close the technology gap in Southeast Asian agriculture. The company is incorporated in Singapore as Dayatani Digital Pte Ltd and operates its primary technology and field teams from Jakarta, Indonesia.

From our first deployments in West Java, DayaTani's platforms now reach thousands of farmers across Java and Sumatra. Our IoT sensor networks, AI advisory tools and Farm Management System are actively used by cooperatives, agribusinesses and government agricultural programs.
"To level up agricultural practitioners — from small-plot farmers to large estates — through the intelligent application of agronomy, operations excellence and purpose-built technology."
We envision an Indonesia — and a Southeast Asia — where every farmer, regardless of scale, has access to the same quality of agronomic intelligence and operational tools as the world's most advanced farms.
Our values are simple: ground truth first (always start with what the field tells us), appropriate technology (build tools that work on a 2G connection as well as fiber), and shared prosperity (our success is measured by farmer income, not only investor returns).
We are a team of agronomists, engineers, data scientists and operators — united by a belief that agriculture is one of the highest-leverage problems technology can solve.
Every product begins with agronomy. Our team includes experienced agronomists and advisors who ensure that our technology is grounded in the reality of how plants grow, how soil behaves and how weather shapes harvests.
We build for scale from day one. Our AI models are trained on local crop varieties and climate patterns. Our IoT devices are hardened for tropical field conditions. Our apps work offline and sync when connectivity returns.
Sustainable agriculture is not a marketing angle for us — it is how we measure success. We track reductions in chemical use, water consumption and farming emissions as primary KPIs alongside yield and revenue metrics.
