Co-founder, Ricult
For improving the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers
Three-quarters of the world’s poor people are farmers. Ricult, the social enterprise co-founded by Aukrit Unahalekhaka, addresses that issue, using machine learning and satellite imagery to help lift farmers in Thailand and Pakistan out of poverty by increasing farm productivity and giving them access to affordable loans. He is also a lecturer in entrepreneurship at Chulalongkorn University.
