Agritech firm Arya.ag raises over $80 Mn in Series D from GEF Capital
Medial

New Delhi-based agritech firm Arya.ag has raised Rs 725 crore (around $80.3 million) in its Series D round from GEF Capital Partners. Last month, Entrackr had exclusively reported that GEF Capital is leading a round in Arya.ag. Over the past year, Arya.ag has closed two fundraises. In July 2025, the company raised $29 million in an equity round, while its agri-commerce arm Aryatech secured a $19.8 million commitment from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to guarantee a debt facility. The new proceeds will be used to deepen Arya.agโ€™s engagement with farmers and farmer producer organisations (FPOs), expand climate-smart agriculture initiatives, and strengthen its technology-led solutions across the post-harvest supply chain. The company said it will also deploy the funds to reduce farm-gate and supply-chain losses, while improving access to finance and market linkages for smallholder farmers. Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag operates an integrated grain commerce platform spanning pre-harvest advisory, storage, finance, and trade. Its model allows farmers to decide when and where to sell their produce, backed by farm-level data, warehousing, and credit access. Arya.ag runs a network of Smart Farm Centres and provides services such as agri storage, instant financing, and transparent market access. The platform currently operates across 60% of Indian districts with a network of 12,000 agri-warehouses, handling nearly $3 billion worth of grain annually and enabling over $1.5 billion in agricultural loans. For the fiscal year ended March 2025, Arya.ag posted revenue of Rs 447 crore, while its profits widened 70% year-on-year. The company also reported Rs 32 crore profit in H1 FY26.

Exclusive: Arya.ag set to raise over Rs 250 Cr in new round Agritech startup Arya.ag is in late-stage talks to raise Rs 250โ€“300 crore ($28โ€“35 million) in a fresh funding round, according to three people aware of the development. โ€œGEF Capital Partners is set to join the new round and has issued a term sheet to Arya.ag. A few other new investors are also looking to participate,โ€ said one of the sources requesting anonymity as talks are private. Over the past year, Arya.ag has closed two fundraises. In July, the company raised $29 million in an equity round, while its agri-commerce arm Aryatech, secured a $19.8 million commitment from the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to guarantee a debt facility. In response to queries sent on Monday, the company said it's in funding talks but the details are incorrect. Founded to streamline agricultural trade, Arya.ag connects buyers and sellers of farm produce by integrating warehouse discovery, farmgate-level storage, finance, and market linkages into a single platform. The company has disbursed over Rs 2,000 crore in loans backed by stored crops, offering farmers access to storage, credit, and a marketplace to sell their produce. For context, Arya.ag reported interest income of Rs 55.4 crore in FY24. The firm has also expanded partnerships with banks for co-lending, processors for value-added commerce, and climate-focused organisations. Looking ahead, Arya.ag plans to scale its geographic presence and deepen its technology capabilities by FY26. For the fiscal year ended March 2025, Arya.ag posted revenue of Rs 447 crore, while its profits widened 70% year-on-year. However, the company turned profitable in H1 FY26, reporting Rs 32 crore in profit after tax. According to the press release, the company reported strong momentum across its businesses. Its storage segment grew 40% year-on-year in H1 FY26, while the fintech arm posted 50% growth. Meanwhile, the consumer business saw its gross volume jump over sevenfold during the same period.
