Arya.ag, India’s largest integrated grain commerce platform, has announced the successful closure of its Series D funding round, raising ₹725 crore (USD 80.58 million) in equity from GEF Capital Partners.
The investment will enable Arya.ag to deepen engagement with farmers and their organisations, promoting climate-smart, market-led agricultural practices. It will also accelerate efforts to build resilience among smallholder farmers against climate uncertainties through improved access to technology solutions, while strengthening the company’s ability to reduce post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the supply chain.
Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag’s integrated value chain model bridges the trust gap in Indian agriculture by offering pre-harvest to post-harvest solutions. Its expanding network of Smart Farm Centres, combined with storage, finance, and commerce services, empowers farmers and FPOs to sustainably improve incomes at scale.
Commenting on the development, Prasanna Rao, Co-Founder and CEO of Arya.ag, said: “This investment validates our approach of building integrated solutions that address the real challenges faced by India’s farming community. GEF as a partner shares our conviction on profitably building equitable agri value chains by reducing vulnerability to climate and market risks. We will use this capital to reach more farmers and develop products that reward sustainable practices at the farmgate.”
Arya.ag continues to grow as India’s only profitable agritech platform, reporting net revenue of ₹300 crore in H1 FY26, a 28% year-on-year increase, with profits rising 39% to ₹31.5 crore. The company’s operations now span 60% of Indian districts, supported by a network of 12,000 agri‑warehouses that aggregate and store USD 3 billion worth of grain annually, while enabling disbursement of over USD 1.5 billion in loans to agricultural stakeholders.
Advisory support for the funding round was provided by PwC, law firm JSA, and Aeka, with Avendus Capital serving as the exclusive financial advisor.
