Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has tried his hand at a new pesticide sprayer made by a startup Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, creating a more handy and efficient option for farmers to help them safely cover more crops at a time
The sprayer has been designed by local engineer Yogesh Gawande, who formed a company in 2019 to manufacture the product in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
The company has so far sold more than 5,000 sprayer units and generated 100-plus direct and indirect job opportunities, as per Gawande
