Founder · Ph.D. Soil Microbiology · Building AI infrastructure for agriculture
Bio
I'm curious about how the world works — from soil microbes to economic systems to AI. That curiosity is what drives me to build tools that tackle some of the biggest challenges in agriculture. Right now, that means Soil Health Exchange, OpenAgData, and TerraValue — making research accessible, soil intelligence actionable, and farm value visible.
If you're working on something similar, or just thinking about these problems — I'm always up for a conversation. Whether it's collaborating, brainstorming, or exploring ways to support this work, reach out at saurav12das@gmail.com.
What I'm Building
- Now Soil Health Exchange — product layer for soil insights and field-level recommendations.
- Now OpenAgData — data infrastructure layer for agriculture research + model workflows.
- Now TerraValue — land valuation intelligence for agricultural parcels.
- Concept FarmDeck — farm operating marketplace for inputs, equipment, rentals, and services.
- R&D Carbon + microbe model tracks designed for iterative improvement with practical deployment gates.
Products
Side Projects
- Thermodynamic Memory Architecture — self-evolving memory system for LLM agents that maximizes decision quality per unit compute.
- Brahmanda — a Vedic universe simulation engine with LLM-powered conscious agents exploring emergent civilizations and belief systems.
Writing
- 2026 Ag Intelligence Stack — Building the intelligence layer American agriculture is missing. Four connected platforms — from research discovery to natural capital valuation — forming a complete evidence-to-outcome loop.
- 2026 The Pathology of More — From "feed 10 billion" to "more carbon more carbon" — how single-metric maximization became the organizing ideology of modern food systems, and why it must end.
- 2026 The Economics of a Post-AI World — 92 million jobs displaced by 2030, a K-shaped economy, and the policy mechanisms needed to distribute AI's gains broadly. Part I
- 2026 Social Coin: A Contribution Economy — A two-layer reward system that recognizes the $12 trillion in invisible care, creativity, and community work society performs for free. Part II
- 2026 Brahmanda: Can Agents Discover Science? — A living Vedic universe experiment where LLM-powered souls observe, theorize, and validate truths about a world they inhabit — and what it asks about the nature of reality.
- 2026 WDMA: Weighted Developmental Memory Architecture — A theoretical framework for salience-gated memory encoding in AI agents — jolt-driven encoding, thermodynamic decay, and developmental plasticity modulation.
