Kerala faces a growing shortage of skilled coconut climbers. Harvesting is risky, physically demanding, and increasingly unsustainable. Instead of accepting the problem, Ashin asked a bold question: How can I solve this problem? From prototypes and early failures to building a real tech startup in Kerala, Ashin shares the mindset, challenges, and vision behind CocoBot. We discuss innovation in agriculture, building hardware startups in India, and why world-class technology can emerge from local problems. This is more than a robotics story. It’s about courage, persistence, and creating solutions from the ground up. 🎧 Listen now to discover how one idea is reimagining coconut harvesting.
