Indian agritech firm Arya.ag has raised over $80 million (around ₹725 crore) in a Series D funding round led by GEF Capital Partners, marking a major milestone for the country’s fast-growing agricultural technology ecosystem. The fresh round highlights growing investor confidence in scalable, technology-led solutions aimed at strengthening India’s farm-to-market value chain.
Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag operates an integrated digital platform that provides farmers and agribusinesses access to storage, financing, and transparent commodity trading. Over the years, the company has positioned itself as a critical link between farmers and modern agricultural markets.
Focus on Technology, Storage, and Farmer Income
The newly raised capital will primarily be used to strengthen Arya.ag’s technology stack, expand its nationwide network, and improve post-harvest infrastructure. One of the core challenges facing Indian agriculture is the lack of efficient storage and timely access to credit, often forcing farmers to sell produce at unfavourable prices.
Arya.ag addresses this gap through a network of technology-enabled storage facilities located close to farms. These centres allow farmers to store produce securely, access instant finance against stored grain, and sell when market conditions are favourable. The Series D funding is expected to scale this model further, enabling more farmers to benefit from price transparency and better market timing.
Driving Climate-Smart Agriculture at Scale
A key focus area for Arya.ag is promoting climate-smart agricultural practices. By reducing post-harvest losses and optimising supply chains, the company aims to make agriculture more resilient while lowering wastage. The platform uses data analytics to support quality assessment, inventory tracking, and risk management—tools that are becoming increasingly important as climate variability impacts crop outcomes.
GEF Capital’s participation in the round aligns with its strategy of backing businesses that combine financial performance with environmental impact. The investment reflects rising interest in agritech models that not only improve farmer incomes but also contribute to long-term sustainability.
Expanding Presence Across Indian Districts
Arya.ag has steadily expanded its footprint and now operates across a large number of Indian districts, covering a significant portion of the country’s agricultural landscape. The company manages a vast network of agri-warehouses and facilitates the movement and financing of grains worth billions of rupees annually.
Alongside storage and trade, Arya.ag also enables access to institutional credit for farmers and agribusiness partners. This integrated approach allows the platform to support the entire post-harvest lifecycle, from storage and financing to market linkage.
Strong Financial Performance Supports Growth Plans
The company’s operational scale has been matched by strong financial performance. Arya.ag has reported steady revenue growth along with improving profitability, reflecting increasing adoption of its services by farmers, traders, and agri-enterprises. Its ability to grow while maintaining financial discipline has made it attractive to long-term investors.
The Series D round builds on earlier equity and debt raises, giving Arya.ag sufficient capital to pursue expansion without compromising operational stability.
Strengthening India’s Agritech Ecosystem
With agriculture supporting a large share of India’s population, platforms like Arya.ag are playing a critical role in modernising the sector. By combining technology, infrastructure, and financial access, the company is helping bridge long-standing inefficiencies in agricultural markets.
As Arya.ag deploys its fresh capital, the focus will remain on scaling impact, supporting small and marginal farmers, and building a more transparent and resilient agricultural supply chain. The latest funding round positions the company strongly for its next phase of growth, while reinforcing the broader momentum in India’s agritech space.
