SaaS-based food supply platform FarMart has raised Rs 84 crore (approx $10 million) through a mix of equity and debt funding. FarMart allotted 977 Series C CCPS at Rs 4,52,182 per share, with GC India Investment Holdings leading the round with Rs 43 crore, followed by Matrix Partners India (Z47) contributing Rs 1 crore, its regulatory filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. Besides equity funding, FarMart has issued non-convertible debentures to Stride and Trifecta Venture, totaling Rs 40 crore, the filing shows. The company will use the funds for growth, expansion, and general corporate purposes, as per filings. Entrackr estimates that FarMart has been valued at around Rs 1,800 crore (around $210 million) post-allotment in the latest funding round. FarMart’s B2B platform digitizes the supply chain for agricultural inputs and produce, connecting nearby buyers and sellers to reduce logistics costs associated with long-distance transportation. The company has a strong retailer network across central and northern India, though its presence remains limited in southern states and Jammu & Kashmir. The company has raised over $60 million to date, including its $32 million Series B round led by General Catalyst, with participation from existing investors, Z47, and Omidyar Network India. According to TheKredible, FarMart’s operating revenue grew 30% year-on-year to Rs 1,341 crore in FY24, while it reported a net loss of Rs 68 crore for the same period. GC India Investment Holdings Group, Z47, and ON Mauritius are among the company’s lead investors. Farmart directly competes with Info Edge-backed Gramophone, Kalaari-backed Agrim, Krishify, and others.
