CowGPT: eVerse.AI bringing smart technology to India’s dairy farms

India’s dairy sector is gradually embracing artificial intelligence, with startups developing solutions to make livestock farming more efficient.

Nagpur-based eVerse.AI is among the companies using technology to improve cattle health, milk production and farmers’ incomes.

Founded in 2022 by Ashish Sonkusare, eVerse.AI develops AI-powered and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for dairy farmers.

Its flagship innovation, CowGPT, combines smart cattle monitoring with an AI-based digital assistant to help farmers make informed decisions about animal care and farm management.

The company’s Connected Cow Collar is one of its key products. Designed like a fitness tracker for cattle, the device monitors animal activity, movement, body temperature and behaviour in real time.

It analyses this information using artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify possible health problems before visible symptoms emerge.

Moreover, the technology helps farmers track cattle breeding cycles. By detecting heat periods, it alerts farmers about suitable timings for artificial insemination.

Its GPS feature also helps locate animals that wander away during grazing.

Farmers receive alerts through their mobile phones. Additionally, eVerse.AI offers a Connected Cow application that stores medical histories, health records and productivity information.

Its CowGPT assistant works through WhatsApp and supports multiple Indian languages. Farmers can ask questions through voice messages or text and receive guidance on cattle health, nutrition and management.

According to the company, its solutions have reached more than 22 lakh farmers, while over 40,000 connected collar devices are deployed across dairy farms. The startup also reports improvements in milk production and farm incomes.

Farmers using the technology have shared encouraging experiences. One dairy farmer reported an additional two to three litres of milk per animal daily after adopting the system.

Early illness alerts and breeding notifications have also helped farmers manage their cattle more effectively.

Beyond dairy productivity, eVerse.AI is exploring climate-focused initiatives. Through programmes such as the Maharashtra Methane Mission and Banas Methane Programme, it encourages improved cattle feeding practices to reduce methane emissions.

The company is also exploring carbon credits as an additional income opportunity for farmers.

The startup has partnered with dairy organisations including Amul, Banas Dairy and Mother Dairy. It also works with institutions such as the World Bank, Tata Trusts and the Gates Foundation.

Looking ahead, eVerse.AI plans to expand across India’s major dairy-producing states.

Its broader vision is to make digital technology accessible to smallholder farmers while transforming livestock management into a more productive and sustainable source of rural income.
