Panama Corporation Named to Forbes India DGEMS 2025 Select 200: Read More

Panama Corporation, a US-headquartered precision agritech company, has been featured in the Forbes India DGEMS 2025 Select 200 a coveted listing that recognises emerging global enterprises shaping the future of cross-border innovation. Fully bootstrapped and founder-led, the company is transforming sustainable agriculture through advanced AI, deep learning, and machine learning technologies deployed across its hydroponic saffron and medicinal plant cultivation centres in India, Europe, and the United States.

Founded by entrepreneur Vivek Raj, Panama Corporation has quickly positioned itself as a global leader in intelligent farming. The company’s integrated technology suite includes nutrient-modelling AI, DCCNN-based disease detection, and closed-loop resource optimisation, all designed to create resilient, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible farming ecosystems. Its systems enable high-value crops like saffron traditionally dependent on specific climatic and soil conditions—to be produced year-round in controlled indoor farms with consistency, predictability, and minimal wastage.

Speaking about the recognition, Raj said, “Panama was built on the belief that modern agriculture should be guided by intelligence rather than intuition. Being selected for the DGEMS 2025 Select 200 is a milestone that reflects our years of research, data-driven experimentation, and innovation. It strengthens our resolve to build an agricultural ecosystem where technology safeguards nature instead of replacing it”

Under his leadership, Panama Corporation has accelerated the use of AI-powered systems that precisely regulate temperature, humidity, nutrient balance, and spectral lighting. These systems not only simulate ideal environmental conditions but also learn continuously from real-time plant behaviour, enabling each cultivation cycle to outperform the last. The company’s approach positions it at the intersection of ESG principles, agritech advancement, and climate-conscious innovation—areas it considers crucial for the future of food and medicinal crop production.

Raj added, “Agriculture is entering a data-led era where intelligence becomes the most valuable input. Our hydroponic farms eliminate unpredictability, preserve biodiversity, and deliver premium crops without chemical dependency. The DGEMS platform gives us a global forum to collaborate with investors, policymakers, and innovators committed to sustainable, technology-first growth.”

Panama Corporation’s expansion strategy includes the development of advanced hydroponic saffron farms, medicinal plant research units, and large-scale vertical farming systems designed to operate as climate-resilient production hubs. By decentralising operations across the US, India, and Europe, the company aims to establish a clean, stable, and globally aligned supply chain—one that is protected from traditional agricultural risks such as weather volatility, soil degradation, and disease.

Rooted in its founding philosophy of merging intelligence with sustainability, the fully self-funded company has grown through technological depth, operational precision, and long-term vision rather than external capital. Its inclusion in the DGEMS 2025 Select 200 marks a significant validation of its model and serves as a catalyst for future global partnerships and cross-border expansion.

“Panama is committed to proving that agriculture can be both profitable and planet-positive,” Raj said. “Our journey is only beginning, and recognitions like DGEMS inspire us to innovate further and deliver the next generation of farming to the world.”
