Ashin Krishna on CocoBot: The World’s Fastest & Lightest Coconut Harvesting Machine?

In this episode of Dream Malayalam, I sit down with Ashin Krishna, founder of Altersage Innovations, the startup behind CocoBot — described as the world's fastest, lightest, and most advanced coconut harvesting machine.

Kerala faces a growing shortage of skilled coconut climbers. Harvesting is risky, physically demanding, and increasingly unsustainable. Instead of accepting the problem, Ashin asked a bold question:

How can I solve this problem?

From prototypes and early failures to building a real tech startup in Kerala, Ashin shares the mindset, challenges, and vision behind CocoBot. We discuss innovation in agriculture, building hardware startups in India, and why world-class technology can emerge from local problems.

This is more than a robotics story.
It's about courage, persistence, and creating solutions from the ground up.
