aims to find solutions that gain genuine acceptance and resonate with exist

work equips farmers with the necessary “digital skill set” and provides them
with a “go-to-market strategy”. This acknowledges the initial capacity gap farm
ers “might not have initially” when “something technical is introduced,” thereby
transforming potential resistance into active participation and self-reliance.
Ultimately, this detailed, co-creative engagement at the farm level demonstrates
how genuine solutions are “rooted in real impact”. Srishti’s is about technology
and transformation. By creating an environment where “the measurement also
includes the very people who are working on impacting”, Srishti bridges a critical
gap between abstract data and lived reality. This strategic design ensures that
digital infrastructure becomes a powerful lever for local decision-making, direct
ly tackling climate challenges while fostering long-term resilience at the most
fundamental level of agricultural practice. Her work exemplifies that embedding
human participation is an ethical choice and a practical imperative for technolo
gy to be truly transformative and achieve its intended effect. It’s a testament to
the power of human-centered design and the potential for technology to make
a real difference in people’s lives.
