Snippets Agritech startup Bharat Intelligence raises funding led by Sahyadri Farms Agritech company Bharat Intelligence has raised Rs 7 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Sahyadri Farms. The funds will be used to grow its team, strengthen its product, and scale operations across Western Maharashtra’s horticulture belts—embedding technology directly into the value chains of grape, banana, tomato, and pomegranate farmers. Co-founded in 2024 by Azhaan Merchant and Gourav Sanghai, Bharat Intelligence focuses on addressing the farm labour crisis. The company uses advanced AI to organise rural labour markets, giving farmers timely access to skilled crews and providing workers with steady, dignified jobs. Its platform predicts labour needs and connects farmers with crews through simple, vernacular interfaces. Bharat Intelligence embeds technology into rural workflows, capturing trust signals, seasonal rhythms, and community networks that conventional datasets often miss—ensuring AI serves the realities of India’s agrarian economy. “India’s economy is agrarian and deeply physical. To build AI for India, it must be embedded in rural life—attuned to the nuances of a handshake in a village market, the seasonal migration of workers, and the trust networks that govern transactions,” said Azhaan Merchant, Co-Founder & CEO. The company aims to solve urgent problems while laying the groundwork for long-term transformation. Bharat Intelligence sees the context layer as the missing building block for AI in India, ensuring artificial intelligence remains grounded in the lived reality of its billion users.

House of Zelena raises Rs 7 Cr in Seed round Mom-wear brand House of Zelena has raised Rs 7 crore ($800K) in a seed funding round co-led by Sprout Venture Partners and M Venture Partners, with participation from GSF and other angels. This round follows the company’s earlier angel round bringing the total fund raise to $1.2 million. The proceeds will be deployed towards strengthening supply chain capabilities, driving innovation across their various maternity apparel offerings, and deepening the brand’s mom-first ecosystem through community-building and technology integrations, House of Zelena said in a press release. Co-founded in 2022 by Hina Priyadarshini and Mayank Kamal, House of Zelena aims to redefine maternity and postpartum wear by designing from the mother’s perspective. Unlike baby-first brands, it focuses on women’s bodies, comfort, and their emotional journey. The brand has already introduced first-of-its-kind products such as postpartum sculptwear leggings, bump-friendly loungewear, and leakproof innerwear. Over the last two years, House of Zelena has built a thriving mom community of more than 2.5 lakh mothers across India and generated over 45 million monthly organic impressions across the brand’s website. “House of Zelena was born from that gap: to create clothing that adapts to women’s real needs, and an ecosystem that makes them feel supported, inside and out,” said Hina Priyadarshini, co-founder of HOZ. The brand is also preparing to expand its offline engagement through community events and its upcoming SafeToFeed café campaign. In September 2025, it will unveil a refreshed brand identity designed to deepen its connection with India’s growing mom community.
