Funding Announcement
Agritech firm Arya.ag has raised ₹725 crore, or about $80.3 million, in a Series D funding round led by GEF Capital Partners. The investment follows earlier reports indicating that GEF Capital was in advanced discussions to lead a large round in the company.
Recent Capital Raises
Over the past year, Arya.ag has closed multiple fundraises. In July 2025, the company raised $29 million in an equity round. Separately, its agri-commerce arm, Aryatech, secured a $19.8 million commitment from the US International Development Finance Corporation to guarantee a debt facility, strengthening its access to structured financing.
Use of Proceeds
The company said the Series D capital will be used to deepen engagement with farmers and farmer producer organisations, expand climate-smart agriculture initiatives, and strengthen its technology-led solutions across the post-harvest supply chain. Funds will also be deployed to reduce farm-gate and supply-chain losses while improving access to finance and market linkages for smallholder farmers.
Business Model
Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag operates an integrated grain commerce platform covering pre-harvest advisory, storage, finance and trade. Its model enables farmers to choose when and where to sell produce, supported by farm-level data, warehousing infrastructure and credit access.
Operational Scale
Arya.ag runs a nationwide network of Smart Farm Centres and provides services including agri-storage, instant financing and transparent market access. The platform operates across around 60 percent of Indian districts, with a network of about 12,000 agri-warehouses. It handles close to $3 billion worth of grain annually and facilitates over $1.5 billion in agricultural loans.

For the financial year ended March 2025, Arya.ag reported revenue of ₹447 crore, while profits grew 70 percent year-on-year. The company also posted a profit of ₹32 crore in the first half of FY26, reflecting improving operating performance.
