This Class 10 dropout Maharashtra man is using AI to make smarter farming decisions
India Today
A viral video highlights how a farmer from Maharashtra, known as Wable Kaka, is using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to transform his agricultural practices.
In a time when AI is often discussed in boardrooms and classrooms, a farmer from Maharashtra is putting it to work in his fields. Wable Kaka, a Class 10 dropout farmer, has gone viral for using ChatGPT in Marathi to make informed farming decisions and build his own agricultural brand.
Shared on Instagram by creator Siddhesh Lokare, the clip takes viewers on a walk through Wable Kaka’s farm, where coconut, jamun and guava trees grow in neat rows. What surprises Siddhesh is not just the lush produce, but the way Wable Kaka runs his farm. He uses ChatGPT in Marathi to ask questions about soil nutrition, protecting flowers from insects, and planning insecticide sprays. “It even calls me Wable ji now,” he says with a smile.
Beyond cultivation, the farmer uses the AI tool to design his brand, from packaging ideas to a logo for his produce. For Wable Kaka, technology is not intimidating or distant; it’s simply another tool to make better decisions. His larger vision is to build a united front of farmers in his village, where knowledge and resources are shared instead of guarded.
The video also captures a lighter moment when Siddhesh tastes a freshly plucked pink guava and is visibly stunned by its flavour, a reminder that good farming still begins in the soil, even if it’s guided by a digital assistant.
