The living registry

A farm record that changes as the crop changes.

AromaSetu is a data library, standing-crop registry and geo-intelligence layer. It is designed to follow a crop from planting and growth through expected harvest and processing.

Data, not trade

A crop map built one verified record at a time.

Geo-tagged farms create a wider view of aromatic-crop cultivation while controlled access protects sensitive information.

How the data stays alive

The farmer is the king of the record.

Authenticity begins with the person growing the crop. Platform controls and field verification add context without taking ownership away from the farmer.

1

Farmer updates

Crop, variety, stage, quantity, harvest and processing details begin with the farmer.

2

Farm is geo-tagged

Location data helps build an accurate map of India's essential-oil farming crops.

3

Field verification

Field agents can verify sensitive, high-value records such as sandalwood and agarwood.

4

Periodic refresh

Records are updated at intervals so subscribers can see data age and changing crop conditions.

For subscribers

Live farm intelligence at the depth you need.

Subscriptions can be structured around one crop, several crops, state-level intelligence or a national view—supported by farm-level details and data that develops over time.

For farmers

More than a record. A library of practical support.

Farmers can make their crops and standing crops visible to relevant international and domestic industry participants while accessing a growing ecosystem of knowledge and services.

Registered buyers can see your crop or standing-tree listing and contact you directly. Only registered buyers can see your name, district and mobile number; your exact village or plot location is not shown. If you delete your account, your contact details are no longer visible to buyers on AromaSetu.

Know the founder

Anubhab Satapathy

Founder, AromaSetu

AromaSetu began with a practical question: how can the essential-oil ecosystem make better decisions when reliable, current farm-level crop data is difficult to find?

Anubhab's vision is to place farmers at the centre of a trusted data registry—one that reflects what is actually growing, where it is growing and how the crop changes over time. His field engagement and industry perspective shape AromaSetu as a useful bridge between growers, institutions and responsible subscribers.

Clear answers about the registry, farmer control, subscriptions, verification and data protection.

How do I download AromaSetu?

AromaSetu is now available on Google Play for Android. Use the Google Play badge or scan the QR code in the download section. The iOS version is coming soon.

Is AromaSetu a buying and selling marketplace?

No. AromaSetu is a data integration tool, library and registry for aromatic crops and standing crops. It organises farmer-updated, geo-tagged and periodically refreshed crop data so subscribers can understand what is growing, where it is growing and when it may be harvested.

Who owns and updates the farm data?

The farmer is at the centre of the registry. Farmers update their own crop and standing-crop information through the app. The platform records update timing so data freshness can be understood.

How is high-value crop data verified?

For high-value crops such as sandalwood and agarwood, AromaSetu field agents may verify farm and crop information. Verification is recorded separately from farmer-submitted data.

What can subscribers access?

Depending on the subscription, users may access single-crop or multi-crop data, state and national analysis, geo-tagged farm intelligence, varieties, standing quantities, expected harvest windows, distillation details, commitment indicators, yield records and forward-looking analysis.

What does AromaSetu provide to farmers?

Farmers can make their crops visible to relevant international and domestic industry participants. The platform is also being developed to connect farmers with packaging help, testing, crop and soil information, weather, best practices, economics, innovation, schemes and institutional support.

How often is the data updated?

Farm data is intended to be refreshed at periodic intervals. The update cycle may vary by crop, stage and verification requirement, and each record can show when it was last updated.

How does geo-tagging help?

Geo-tagging helps build a living map of aromatic-crop farming across India. It supports crop distribution analysis while access to sensitive farm details remains controlled.

How does AromaSetu protect sensitive data?

Data security and controlled access are core principles. Sensitive farmer and farm-level details are not intended for unrestricted public display. Access depends on role, subscription and platform controls.
