To deepen its engagement with farmers and organisations to promote climate-smart, market-led agriculture practices, integrated grain commerce platform Arya.ag has raised Rs 725 crore ($80.58 million) in equity from GEF Capital Partners.

The funding is expected to boost the company’s effort to build resilience among smallholder farmers against uncertainties of climate change through improved access to technology solutions. The funds will also strengthen Arya.ag’s ability to control post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the agricultural supply chain.

Through its integrated value chain approach - spanning pre-harvest to post-harvest solutions - Arya.ag’s model enables the smallest of 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. 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. 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.

With over 60% of India's workforce engaged in agriculture and more than half of farming households excluded from formal credit sources, Arya.ag's integrated platform is trying to address a critical gap in the market by providing farmgate-level agri networks and solutions, including farm insights, storage, instant finance, and transparent market linkages. Avendus Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor for this equity round.

It also claims to be India’s only profitable agritech platform, and has cemented its position as India’s leading integrated agri solutions company. It  reported net revenue of ₹300 crore in H1 FY26, marking 28% growth over last year, while profits rose 39% to ₹31.5 crore during the same period. With rapid growth across storage, finance, and commerce, Arya.ag has been the partner of choice for farmers, FPOs, agri-enterprises, and financial institutions building a more efficient, climate-smart agri-ecosystem.

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.

PwC, Law firm JSA and Aeka also provided advisory support on this round.

Arya.ag, which enables freedom of choice for farmers and their organisations, eliminates the trust deficit in grain commerce through its exponentially growing layer of visibility and control, currently stretching across 60% of Indian districts and having 12,000 agri-warehouses in its network. It aggregates and stores $3 billion of grain annually while enabling disbursement of over $1.5 billion of loans to small-holder farmers, their organisations and other stakeholders.
