There are multiple reports that detail how India\u2019s leading public agency for weather forecast, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/cities\/Kochi\/experts-highlight-importance-of-localised-weather-data-collection\/article67201215.ece\">India Meteorological Department (IMD) lacks when it comes to collecting localized weather data<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These weather monitoring devices, powered by Dabba\u2019s network and deployed by its&nbsp; on-ground partners will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record real-time and hyper-local weather data like temperature, humidity, and rainfall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recorded weather data can be used to deliver hyper-localized insights to farmers, agro-businesses, and disaster management authorities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reward users for contributing unique data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karam Laxshman, CEO of Dabba Network, couldn\u2019t have said it better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe increasing cost of critical infrastructure impedes India\u2019s growth as the real impact of technological advancements is not received by those who need it the most. Decentralization is the future of critical infrastructure in a developing country like ours. Partnering with WeatherXM, Dabba is not only helping them expand but it will also make accurate weather data more accessible in a country where it is needed the most. This is a first-of-its-kind deployment in India.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"NzRmhHFleZo\"><iframe title=\"Chai &amp; Wifi Podcast | Ep - 01 | Dabba Network x Weather XM\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NzRmhHFleZo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:-27px\"><em>Hear it all from our CEO Karam Lakshman to know more about how Dabba&#8217;s layer-zero DePIN model is enabling WeatherXM expand in emerging markets.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Is Dabba Helping WeatherXM Expand In India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dabba, as layer-zero DePIN is building the on-ground infrastructure to connect millions of Indians who still don\u2019t have access to high speed internet. It already has a vast network of on-ground partners with active deployments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For other DePINs like WeatherXM, Dabba makes it easy to expand with fast and seamless deployment in emerging markets. Here\u2019s how Dabba is enabling WeatherXM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With Dabba, WeatherXM benefits from our on-ground presence as we already have access to multiple locations across regions where Dabba Network hotspots are deployed. Dabba has identified strategic locations for deployment of weather monitoring devices in India.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, Dabba is leveraging its on-ground partner and user network to&nbsp; ensure seamless deployment of WXM\u2019s weather monitoring devices.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dabba\u2019s on-ground partners also help with maintenance of the deployed devices ensuring uninterrupted weather data collection. It also helps mitigate maintenance costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"NVU3nLFMPQk\"><iframe title=\"Weather xm at Islampur\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NVU3nLFMPQk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:-33px\"><em>Dabba\u2019s Marketing Director, Dawn explaining it from ground-zero in Islampur how this partnership can create a positive impact on the local agro-economies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effectively, Dabba\u2019s layer-zero DePIN is not just facilitating but also fast-tracking WeatherXMs efforts to expand in emerging markets like India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the deployment strategy Dabba co-founder, Shubhendu Sharma explained: \u201cLocation-based strategic deployment of these weather stations is important to get constant, useful updates. While we\u2019ve already identified such locations, we\u2019re always on the lookout for areas where this technology can make the biggest difference. Over the next two months, we plan to deploy 800 WeatherXM devices across India.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dabba and WeatherXM coming together is more than just a technological collaboration\u2014it\u2019s also a step towards tackling the growing challenges of climate change. Helping WeatherXM expand its decentralized weather technology in India, we are indeed setting a precedent for how our layer-zero DePIN can enable other DePINs and how IoT can be harnessed to create real-world impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about how Dabba is helping WeatherXM deploy its weather monitoring stations across India and how you can be a part of this collaboration please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/wxm.dabba.com\/\">https:\/\/wxm.dabba.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With rapid climate change, local weather data has become all the more critical for accurate weather forecasts.
