Agritech Startup Arya.ag Raises $80.58 Million in from GEF Capital Partners

India’s agritech sector continues to attract large growth capital as platforms focus on efficiency, climate resilience and farmer income stability.  

Arya.ag has secured a significant Series D investment, underscoring investor confidence in its integrated post-harvest and agri-financing model. 

Key Development 

As per Inc42 reports, Arya.ag raised $80.58 million (about ₹725 crore) in its Series D funding round from GEF Capital Partners through a mix of primary and secondary transactions. Around 70% of the round came in as fresh capital, while the remaining portion involved partial stake sales by some existing investors.  

The company said the new funds will be used to expand its reach among farmer communities, accelerate product development and strengthen solutions aimed at reducing post-harvest losses across the agricultural value chain. 

Business Model and Operations 

Founded in 2013, the Noida-based startup enables farmers to adopt technology-driven practices across pre- and post-harvest stages, offering insights on market trends, climate risks and crop management.  

Arya.ag operates a grain storage network of about 12,000 leased warehouses and plans to scale this to nearly 15,000 facilities. It also provides collateral-backed credit to farmers and farm organisations through its NBFC arm, AryaDhan, and partner banks. 

The platform claims to have onboarded around 10 lakh farmers and currently covers nearly 60% of India’s districts, with Bihar emerging as its largest market, followed by Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. The company said its services help farmers increase earnings by 15–20%. 

Financial Performance and Scale 

In 2025, Arya.ag disbursed ₹2,000 crore via its own balance sheet and another ₹10,000 crore through partner banks.  

Average loan ticket sizes ranged from ₹10–12 lakh for individual farmers to about ₹80 lakh for farm organisations, with interest rates near 13%. Storage services contribute 55–60% of revenue, while interest income accounts for roughly a quarter of the topline. 

The company has remained profitable since inception. It reported a net profit of ₹31.5 crore in H1 FY26, up 39% year-on-year, on net revenue of ₹300 crore. For FY25, profit stood at ₹34 crore with revenue of ₹450 crore. 

Competitive Landscape 

Arya.ag operates in a competitive agritech environment alongside players such as StarAgri, DeHaat and AgroStar.  

Despite funding volatility in the sector, long-term growth prospects remain strong, with India’s agritech market projected to expand sharply over the rest of the decade.

Conclusion 

The Series D round strengthens Arya.ag’s balance sheet and positions the company to scale its post-harvest infrastructure and agri-financing offerings. As agritech adoption deepens and climate risks intensify, the company’s focus on storage, credit and technology-led efficiency could play a key role in improving farm-level economics across India.
