Arya.ag Secures $80.58M Series D Funding from GEF Capital Partners

Indian agritech firm, Arya.ag has raised raised $80.58 million (approximately ₹725 crore) in its Series D funding round from GEF Capital Partners, a private equity firm that invests in companies focused on resource efficiency, clean energy, and sustainability.

The funding is aimed at supporting deeper engagement with farmers and farmer organisations to advance climate-smart, market-oriented practices, while also strengthening Arya.ag’s capacity to reduce post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the agricultural supply chain.

According to Arya.ag, the investment underscores confidence in its integrated approach to addressing structural challenges in India’s agricultural ecosystem, with GEF aligned on the objective of building equitable, profitable agri-value chains while reducing exposure to climate and market risks. Avendus Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor for the equity round.

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
Prasanna Rao, Co-Founder and CEO, Arya.ag

In parallel, Arya.ag is expanding its network of Smart Farm Centres, which, together with its storage, finance and commerce offerings, is designed to help farmers and FPOs achieve sustainable, scalable income improvements.

Arya.ag’s climate-smart agriculture initiatives are centred on strengthening farm-to-market linkages through technology-led, farmgate-level solutions. The Smart Farm Centres provide data-driven farm insights, weather intelligence and decision-support tools, alongside storage, finance and market access services. According to the company, this integrated approach is intended to help farmers and farmer organisations manage climate and price risks, reduce post-harvest losses and improve participation in organised agricultural value chains.

Integrated Value Chain

Arya.ag aims to address trust deficits in Indian agriculture by building efficient, transparent networks that support higher farmer incomes. Through an integrated value chain approach spanning pre and post-harvest solutions, the company aims to empower even the smallest stakeholders to participate more equitably in agricultural markets by supporting informed decisions on when and where to sell produce.

With agriculture accounting for over 60 % of India’s workforce and a majority of farming households lacking access to formal credit, Arya.ag is working to position its integrated platform as a response to a key market gap. The company farmgate-level agri networks and services spanning farm intelligence, storage, instant financing and transparent market access can support its mission

During the first half of FY26, Arya.ag reported net revenue of ₹300 crore, reflecting a 28% year-on-year increase, while profits rose 39 per cent to ₹31.5 crore. The company now operates across 60% of India’s districts, supported by a network of 12,000 agri-warehouses that aggregate and store grain worth $3 billion annually and facilitate more than $1.5 billion in lending to agricultural stakeholders.

Farm Linkeage Execution

Arya.ag’s latest round and operational push signal a maturing phase for India’s agritech sector, where scale and balance-sheet strength are becoming as important as innovation. Rather than positioning itself solely as a digital advisory platform, the company is doubling down on an asset-linked, farm-to-market model that integrates storage, finance and commerce. This approach reflects a pragmatic reading of Indian agriculture, where climate volatility and price risk often outweigh pure productivity gains as constraints on farmer incomes.

The expansion of Smart Farm Centres suggests an effort to anchor technology closer to the farmgate, reducing the gap between data and decision-making. At the same time, continued profitability and growth in financing indicate that institutional capital is increasingly backing models tied to physical infrastructure and risk mitigation. The challenge ahead will be execution at scale, managing credit risk, maintaining trust across fragmented value chains, and ensuring that climate-smart interventions translate into measurable economic outcomes for smallholders, not just operational efficiency for the platform.
