Arya.ag, an integrated grain commerce platform, has raised ₹725 crore (approximately $80.58 million) in its Series D funding round from GEF Capital Partners.
The funds raised will be used to deepen its engagement with farmers and their organisations to promote climate-smart, market-led agriculture practices. The funds will also strengthen Arya.ag’s ability to control post-harvest losses at the farm gate and across the agricultural supply chain.
Founded in 2013 by Prasanna Rao, Anand Chandra, and Chattanathan Devarajan, Arya.ag operates an integrated grain commerce platform.
spanning pre-harvest advisory, storage, finance, and trade. Its model allows farmers to decide when and where to sell their produce, backed by farm-level data, warehousing, and credit access.
Arya.ag connects sellers and buyers of agriproducts to facilitate and streamline commerce, driving efficiencies and reducing waste, to the benefit of the entire market. The platform integrates warehouse discovery, farmgate-level storage, finance and market linkages, providing a comprehensive solution across the entire value chain by bridging the trust gap at each step.
Arya.ag’s integrated platform addresses a critical gap in the market by providing farmgate-level agri networks and solutions, including farm insights, storage, instant finance, and transparent market linkages.
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.
The company 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.
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. 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.”
