Arya.ag, a grain commerce and post-harvest services platform that connects farmers to storage, credit and buyers, said it had raised ₹725 crore ($80.58 million) in a Series D equity round led by GEF Capital Partners.
The company said it will use the funds to expand its farmgate network and technology tools that help farmers and farmer producer organisations decide when and to whom to sell their produce after harvest, while also cutting losses that occur during storage and movement of grain.
Arya.ag operates an integrated model spanning pre-harvest support and post-harvest execution. It provides farm insights and advisory, links farmers to warehousing through its network, and enables instant finance against stored produce, alongside transparent market linkages that connect sellers with buyers.
The investment will help Arya.ag deepen engagement with farmers and their organisations to promote climate-smart, market-led agriculture practices, it said. The company also plans to accelerate technology-led services aimed at improving smallholder resilience to climate and price volatility, including better decision support and easier access to markets and credit.
A significant portion of the capital will be deployed to reduce post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the supply chain, the company said, by strengthening storage and handling systems and improving visibility and control from aggregation to sale.
“This investment validates our approach of building integrated solutions that address the real challenges faced by India’s farming community,” Prasanna Rao, co-founder and CEO of Arya.ag, said.
Rao said the company would use the capital to reach more farmers and develop products that reward sustainable practices at the farmgate, adding that the goal is to widen access to information, finance and markets through affordable technology to help increase incomes.
Founded in 2013 by Rao along with Anand Chandra and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag said its expanding network of Smart Farm Centres and its suite of storage, finance and commerce solutions are designed to improve farm incomes structurally and at scale.
The company said it reported net revenue of ₹300 crore in H1 FY26, up 28% from a year earlier, while profit rose 39% to ₹31.5 crore in the same period.
Arya.ag said its operations span 60% of Indian districts through a network of 12,000 agri-warehouses, aggregating and storing $3 billion of grain annually while enabling disbursement of more than $1.5 billion in loans to agricultural stakeholders.
