Indian agriculture is not changing overnight — it is evolving, step by step, driven by real challenges faced by farmers on the ground. At Rashail Agro — Fasalam, we have been part of this evolution since 2019, continuously upgrading irrigation technology to give farmers more control, better insights, and higher productivity.
This is not a story of GSM vs IoT as competitors. This is the story of how smart irrigation has evolved in India — and how we are building the future, together with farmers.
🌾 Our Mission: Empowering Farmers Through Technology
At Rashail Agro, our mission is simple yet bold:
To empower millions of Indian farmers with reliable, affordable, and intelligent technology that conserves resources and increases income.
Every product we design — from GSM Motor Controllers to IoT systems and the Fasalam App — is built with a farmer-first mindset.
🚜 Phase 1: GSM Motor Controllers — Laying the Digital Foundation (Since 2019)
When we began developing GSM Motor Controllers in 2019, most rural regions faced:
- Limited or unstable internet connectivity
- Dependence on feature phones
- Language and usability barriers
GSM technology became the most practical entry point into smart irrigation.
📡 How GSM Motor Controllers Work
Rashail Agro’s GSM Motor Controllers operate through: 📞 IVR Calls | 💬 SMS Commands |📱 Fasalam Mobile App
Farmers can start or stop irrigation without visiting the field, saving time, labor, and energy.
🌐 All-India SIM Compatibility
Our GSM Motor Controllers support all major Indian SIM networks: Airtel, BSNL, Jio, Vi (Vodafone Idea), Other regional operators
This ensures maximum adaptability across states and rural geographies
📶 GSM Network Evolution
- 2G — Stable and widely available
- 4G — Faster response
- 5G — Ultra-fast, low latency, future-ready
✅ Rashail Agro currently offers a 5G GSM Motor Controller, delivering superior performance and long-term reliability.
🗣️ IVR in Regional Languages
Technology works only when farmers are comfortable using it. IVR is available in: Hindi, English, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi. Farmers can control irrigation using voice prompts in their preferred language — no smartphone or internet required.
🌱 Why GSM Still Matters
Even today, GSM Motor Controllers remain highly relevant:
- Reliable in low-internet areas
- Simple for elderly and first-time users
- Affordable and proven
- Ideal starting point for smart farming
GSM is not outdated — it is the foundation of India’s digital irrigation journey.
🚀 Phase 2: The Shift to IoT — More Intelligence, More Power to Farmers
As farmers adopted GSM and grew confident with remote control, their needs evolved.
They wanted more than just ON/OFF:
- Real-time motor health
- Automatic scheduling
- Smart alerts before failures
- Data-backed decisions
Listening to this demand, Rashail Agro upgraded its technology.
➡️ In 2024, we introduced the IoT Motor Controller — not to replace GSM, but to give progressive farmers deeper control and smarter automation.
🌐 IoT Motor Controllers: The Next Level of Smart Irrigation
IoT technology connects motor controllers to the cloud, enabling real-time communication, monitoring, and automation.
🔧 Advanced Features
- Live motor status monitoring
- Automatic irrigation scheduling
- Smart alerts & notifications
- Cloud-based dashboards
- Integration-ready architecture
- Usage analytics and reports
IoT brings intelligence and foresight into irrigation management.

📲 Fasalam App: The Heart of the Ecosystem
Whether a farmer uses GSM or IoT, everything connects seamlessly through the Fasalam Super App.
🌟 App Capabilities:
- Remote motor ON/OFF
- Irrigation scheduling
- Power and runtime tracking
- Fault alerts & notifications
- Farm & field management
- Product and advisory recommendations
The Fasalam App ensures a smooth transition from GSM to IoT, without forcing farmers to change their habits overnight.
🔄 GSM and IoT: A Gradual Shift, Not a Comparison
Across India, technology adoption is happening in phases:
- Small and mid-size farmers start with GSM
- Progressive farmers upgrade to IoT
- Commercial farms adopt automation and data-driven systems
Both technologies coexist — serving different stages of farm growth.
🌍 Phase 3: What’s Next — Soil Moisture Sensor Integration
This is where the real revolution begins.
Our next step is integrating Soil Moisture Sensors with motor controllers and the Fasalam platform.
🌱 Why This Matters
Traditional irrigation is based on assumptions and fixed schedules.
Sensor-based irrigation is based on actual soil data.
🔗 Upcoming Capabilities:
- Automatic irrigation based on soil moisture levels
- Crop-specific irrigation logic
- Prevention of over-watering and under-watering
- Reduced water and electricity consumption
- Higher yield with lower input costs
The motor will run only when the crop truly needs water.
