Indian agritech sector continues to attract significant investor interest as Noida based Arya.ag announces the successful closure of its Series D funding round, securing $80.58 million from private equity firm GEF Capital Partners. This substantial investment marks a pivotal moment for the integrated grain commerce platform as it seeks to deepen its impact across India’s agricultural landscape.
Strategic Investment Structure
The funding round was structured as a combination of primary and secondary transactions, with approximately 70 percent representing fresh capital infusion and the remaining 30 percent involving partial stake sales by existing investors. This mixed approach allows the company to raise growth capital while providing liquidity to early backers, a strategy increasingly common in mature startup funding rounds.
Addressing Critical Agricultural Challenges
Since its establishment in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag has positioned itself as a comprehensive solution provider for India’s farming community. The platform addresses multiple pain points in the agricultural value chain, from pre harvest planning to post harvest storage and market access.
The company’s infrastructure network spans 12,000 agri warehouses across 60 percent of Indian districts, facilitating the storage of approximately $3 billion worth of grains annually. This extensive physical presence is complemented by technology driven services that help farmers make informed decisions regarding cultivation, weather patterns, and market dynamics.

Financial Services and Farmer Empowerment
Beyond storage solutions, Arya.ag has emerged as a significant credit provider in the agricultural sector. The platform disburses over $1.5 billion in collateral backed loans annually to farmers and agricultural organizations, addressing the persistent challenge of rural credit access. With loan processing times reduced to just 20 minutes compared to traditional banking channels, the company has demonstrated how technology can streamline agricultural finance.
The platform currently serves one million farmers, with its services reportedly helping increase farmer earnings by 15 to 20 percent—a meaningful improvement in a sector where marginal gains can significantly impact livelihoods.
Growth Trajectory and Future Plans
Arya.ag’s financial performance reflects its operational strength, with the company reporting net revenue of ₹300 crore in the first half of FY26, representing 28 percent year over year growth. Profitability also showed robust improvement, rising 39 percent to ₹31.5 crore during the same period. The company positions itself as India’s only profitable agritech platform.
The newly raised capital will be directed toward expanding smart farm centers, enhancing climate resilient agricultural practices, increasing geographic penetration, and exploring strategic acquisition opportunities. As India continues prioritizing agricultural modernization and farmer welfare, platforms like Arya.ag appear well positioned to play an instrumental role in the sector’s digital transformation.
