Arya.ag, an integrated grain commerce platform, on Friday announced that it has raised nearly $80.58 million (Rs 725 crore) in equity funding from GEF Capital Partners.
The investment will enable Arya.ag to deepen its engagement with farmers and their organisations to promote climate-smart, market-led agriculture practices. The funds will also strengthen Arya.ag’s ability to control post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the agricultural supply chain, the company said in a statement.
Avendus Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor for this equity round.
Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag—through its integrated value-chain approach spanning pre-harvest to post-harvest solutions—enables the stakeholders in Indian agriculture to participate equitably in value chains by helping them decide when and to whom to sell their produce to.
Its network of smart farm centres, combined with a comprehensive suite of storage, finance, and commerce solutions, helps farmers and FPOs sustainably and structurally improve incomes at scale.
“This investment validates our approach of building integrated solutions that address the real challenges faced by India’s farming community. We will use this capital to reach more farmers and develop products that reward sustainable practices at the farmgate. Our goal is to ensure that the smallest of stakeholders have access to information(data insights), finance and markets, through affordable technology, and in doing so, have the ability to significantly increase their incomes,” said Prasanna Rao, co-founder and CEO of Arya.ag.
The company’s operations currently span 60% of Indian districts with a network of 12,000 agri-warehouses, aggregating and storing $3 billion of grain annually while enabling disbursement of over $1.5 billion in loans to agricultural stakeholders.
The company reported a net revenue of Rs 300 crore in H1 FY26, marking a 28% growth over last year, while profits rose 39% to Rs 31.5 crore during the same period.
