Company Description HimShikhar HerbTech is developing Himachal Pradesh’s first commercial-scale climate-controlled agriculture facility focused on pharmaceutical-grade medicinal herb production. Located in the Himalayan foothills, the facility leverages natural altitude and temperate climate to create optimal growing conditions. The organization is setting new standards for how medicinal herbs are cultivated, documented, and supplied to India’s pharma, AYUSH, and nutraceutical sectors. Under one roof, it integrates advanced technologies such as aeroponic towers, hydroponic channels (NFT/DFT), Dutch bucket systems, automated precision fertigation, and IoT-based microclimate monitoring. These systems enable year-round, weather-independent cultivation with consistency that surpasses open-field and wild-harvested production. Role Description The Agriculture – Precision Agriculture Research Intern will support on-site research and operational activities at the climate-controlled facility in Mandi. This internship role involves assisting with the setup, monitoring, and data collection for aeroponic, hydroponic, and substrate-based growing systems, as well as tracking plant growth, health, and yield metrics. The intern will help configure and validate IoT-based sensors, monitor microclimate parameters, and contribute to optimizing fertigation schedules and cultivation protocols. Day-to-day tasks include conducting field and lab observations, maintaining accurate records,



preparing basic reports and visualizations, and collaborating with agronomy and technology teams on experimental trials. The role is entirely on-site, offering hands-on exposure to precision agriculture systems and research workflows. Qualifications
• Foundational knowledge of agriculture, horticulture, plant sciences, or related disciplines; current enrollment in a relevant degree program or recent graduation is preferred.
• Interest in precision agriculture technologies, including sensor-based monitoring, IoT systems, and data-driven cultivation practices.
• Ability to conduct structured observations, collect and organize experimental data, and support basic analysis and reporting.
• Comfort working in controlled-environment agriculture settings with systems such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and automated fertigation (training will be provided).
• Strong attention to detail, willingness to follow research protocols, and capability to work safely in an on-site facility environment.
• Valuable written and verbal communication skills to document procedures, summarize findings, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
• Proactive mindset, readiness to learn, and openness to working in a fast-evolving technology-enabled agriculture setup.
• Knowledge of basic data tools (spreadsheets, simple charts) and familiarity with environmental or agricultural metrics is an advantage. https://lnkd.in/p/g8nykSBg
