Welcome to Future Thota

drone Mapping for Sustainable Plantations and Green Missions

High-tech eyes in the sky for smarter plantations.
My name is Appanna, and I use drones and ground data collection systems to help farmers and landowners map shade trees, count crops, analyse health, and unlock deep insights into their land.

From identifying what grows where to creating easy-to-use digital records, Future Thota is where plantation wisdom meets cutting-edge tech.

I’m pioneering a new way of managing land—one flight at a time. 🚀
And the vision doesn’t stop there: Future Thota is building towards a future where autonomous robots handle every process in shade-grown coffee estates, making plantation management seamless, scalable, and sustainable.

What We Do

Future Thota equips landowners, agri-businesses, and NGOs with drone-powered geospatial intelligence to manage plantations, restore ecosystems, and scale community-driven green projects.

Our services include:

  • 📐 Accurate land measurement for planning and record  keeping

  • 🌳 Canopy mapping & tree marking for crop-level insights

  • 📊 Advanced analytics from high-resolution RGB and multispectral imagery

These insights power smarter land-use decisions, support conservation goals, and enable measurable impact tracking.

We deliver data insights from aerial imaging and photogrammetry processed into orthomosaic maps with up to 3 cm/pixel resolution. With these, you can:

  • Accurately measure plantation and land boundaries, and keep a GPS polygon file on record

  • Analyze canopy coverage and plan shade lopping

  • Visualize elevation changes and plan run-off pits and irrigation lines

  • Track health of crops with line of sight to the sky, and track their results over time: Coconut, arecanut, field crops etc.

We not only capture and process drone imagery—we also interpret it. Our geospatial analysis services extract meaningful patterns, trends, and indicators from your processed maps, helping you with custom insights to:

  • Identify underperforming zones or degraded areas

  • Detect early-stage land or crop issues

  • Support compliance, reporting, and grant accountability with visual evidence

These insights are available now and ready to support your agricultural or environmental goals.
