The Minds Behind Nordetect
Nordetect began with a simple question: What if growers could get immediate insights about their crop’s needs?
Co-founders Keenan Pinto and Palak Sehgal, both bioengineers with a passion for sustainable agriculture, transformed this vision into reality through extensive prototyping and patented microfluidic technology. Early customer pilots with greenhouse growers helped refine the product, leading to key relationships with industry leaders and growers alike. Today, Nordetect is full-scale manufacturing in Rochester, NY, and continues to expand in North America and beyond.
