What if technology could climb a coconut tree?
Coconut harvesting robot technology is transforming agriculture in Kerala. In this episode of Dream Malayalam, we speak with Ashin P. Krishna, founder of Altersage Innovations, the startup behind CocoBot — an innovative coconut harvesting machine designed to make farming safer, faster, and more efficient.
Kerala faces a shortage of skilled coconut climbers, making traditional harvesting risky and expensive. CocoBot aims to solve this problem using robotics and engineering innovation.
This episode is more than a startup story. It’s about youth innovation in Kerala, agritech entrepreneurship, and solving real problems from the ground up.

What is CocoBot?
Coco-bot is a robotic coconut harvesting solution designed to:
- Climb coconut trees
- Harvest coconuts efficiently
- Reduce the risk of accidents
- Address labor shortages in agriculture
- Make farming more sustainable
In the podcast, Ashin shares the behind-the-scenes journey — from early prototypes and engineering failures to real-world testing in Kerala’s challenging outdoor conditions.
For anyone interested in agritech startups in India, robotics innovation in Kerala, or coconut harvesting technology, this episode offers valuable insights.
Why This Dream Malayalam Episode Matters
Kerala produces talented engineers and innovators. However, many pursue opportunities outside the state or country.
Ashin chose to build in Kerala.
That decision reflects a powerful trend: local innovation solving local problems. Instead of copying global startup models, Altersage Innovations is rooted in Kerala’s agricultural realities.
This episode is especially relevant for:
- Students interested in robotics and AI
- Aspiring entrepreneurs in Kerala
- Agriculture technology enthusiasts
- Anyone searching for inspiration from young Indian startup founders
