Snippets Pehle Jaisa raises $300K in pre-Series A round Pehle Jaisa, a startup transforming waste into opportunity, has raised $300K in a pre-Series A funding round co-led by Pantnagar Capital and Climate Angels. The Gurugram-based company had previously raised $169K in a seed funding round.

Co-founded in 2022 by Pankaj Pandey and Ehtesham Farooqui, Pehle Jaisa specializes in providing organic fertilizers to the agriculture industry, focusing on decentralizing organic fertilizer production by integrating with waste centers. The company aims to produce high-quality, competitive-priced organic fertilizers by eliminating the "first mile" cost in manufacturing. Pehle Jaisa states that it envisions a future where every village in India is self-reliant — generating its own gas, electricity, and fertilizers. By enabling local production, it aspires to create a truly circular rural economy that drives sustainability, resilience, and long-term prosperity at the grassroots level. Starting with soil conditioners and bio-stimulants, the company has a strong pipeline of customized organic-based fertilizers, tailored to crop type and regional soil requirements. In just eight months of launch, Pehle Jaisa claims to have sold over 500 MT of fertilizer in FY24, reflecting the growing demand for sustainable solutions. In FY25, the company scaled further, generating over Rs 2.5 crore in revenue by selling more than 1,500 MT of value-added fertilizers.
