This era of new-age technology has supported growth and transformation in varied sectors across the global business. The weather monitoring industry is one such sector that has witnessed enormous technological intervention behind its success and today it is an important sector functioning for the well-being of society. However, only a handful of companies in India today offer environmental monitoring support and help various other sectors like the agriculture industry.
BKC WeatherSys Pvt. Ltd. is one such company that provides innovative outstanding solutions to weather forecasting, aviation, agriculture, meteorology, disaster management, and solar energy industries. Founded in 1989, the company is one of India’s first companies in the private sector with the strength of having meteorology and environmental technology. “We are focused to solve the environmental issues and geared with the right technology support to monitor and keep the environment dust-free to the best extent,” says B K Singh, the CEO, BKC WeatherSys.
