Pranav Gawde is the Director of H2L Robotics India Private Limited, based in Mumbai. He leads day-to-day operations and the annotation team, overseeing the data pipeline from raw field imagery through to delivery-ready training datasets. Pranav has co-founded and scaled multiple ventures across India, and brings hands-on operational rigour to every annotation project. He is the primary point of contact for clients, annotators, and the parent company in the Netherlands.
Our parent company
H2L Robotics BV
H2L Robotics BV is a Dutch robotics company founded in 2019 and based in the Netherlands. The company designs and builds autonomous machines for the agricultural sector - with a focus on virus detection and precision treatment in tulip and potato fields. Their machines are operating at scale across Dutch fields, with over 100 units running as of 2025.
H2L Robotics India was established in 2026 as its wholly owned subsidiary, dedicated to building the annotation infrastructure that powers these machines' vision systems.

H2L Robotics India
The team.
H2L Robotics India Private Limited is a data annotation company headquartered in Mumbai. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of H2L Robotics BV, a Netherlands-based agri-tech robotics company. Our work is building high-quality annotated datasets for the computer vision systems that power autonomous agricultural machines.
Bert Jan Kampherbeek is co-founder of H2L Robotics BV in the Netherlands and a Director of H2L Robotics India Private Limited. With deep experience in machine building and agricultural engineering since founding H2L Robotics in 2019, he led the development of the SELECTOR — the world's first autonomous tulip selection robot, now operating at scale across Dutch fields. Bert Jan bridges the technical vision of the Dutch parent company with the India operations, ensuring the annotation work is grounded in real field robotics requirements.
Our journey
Built field by field.
2026
H2L Robotics India Private Limited incorporated
H2L Robotics India Private Limited was incorporated in Mumbai in May 2026 — establishing the annotation arm of H2L Robotics on Indian soil and building the data infrastructure that powers the machines.
2025
Development of the POTECTOR300 begins
H2L Robotics began development of the POTECTOR300 — an autonomous robot for potato fields that uses RTK-GPS navigation and AI-powered cameras to detect virus-infected plants and diseases before they spread, protecting yield and reducing chemical use.
2025
100+ tulip selectors operating in Dutch fields
By 2025, over 100 SELECTOR machines were active across tulip fields in the Netherlands — a milestone in autonomous agricultural deployment at scale.
2022
Red Dot Design Award
H2L Robotics received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, presented at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany — recognising the SELECTOR's industrial design and engineering excellence.
March 2022
SELECTOR225 introduced
The SELECTOR225 was introduced as the wider-width variant of the SELECTOR family — a 225cm expanded bed machine built for larger tulip fields demanding greater coverage per pass, with the same autonomous RTK-GPS navigation and AI-powered virus detection as the SELECTOR180.
10 February 2021
SELECTOR180 officially revealed to farmers
On February 10th, 2021, the SELECTOR180 — the world's first autonomous tulip selection robot — was officially introduced to Dutch tulip farmers, marking the start of autonomous virus detection at field scale.
March – April 2020
Prototype tested across North Holland fields
In March and April 2020, H2L Robotics tested its prototype on different tulip fields across North Holland, gathering field data that informed the design and capabilities of the production SELECTOR machines.
5 September 2019
H2L Robotics BV founded in the Netherlands
H2L was founded by Marcel van Kervinck and Alexander van Veen on September 5th, 2019, with the objective to apply their extensive machine building experience for agriculture.
