Agritech startup Arya.ag is in advanced discussions to raise Rs 250-300 crore ($28–35 million) in a fresh funding round, according to people familiar with the matter. The round is expected to see participation from new investors, with GEF Capital Partners said to have issued a term sheet. The talks are ongoing and have not yet been finalized.

When contacted, the company confirmed it is in funding discussions but said the details circulating are not accurate. Sources noted that a few other investors are also evaluating participation in the round.

The potential fundraise follows a strong year for Arya.ag. In July, the company raised $29 million in an equity round. Separately, its agri-commerce arm, Aryatech, secured a $19.8 million commitment from the US International Development Finance Corporation to back a debt facility.

Founded to modernize agricultural trade, Arya.ag offers an integrated platform that connects farmers, buyers, and lenders. It combines warehouse discovery, farmgate storage, financing, and market access to help farmers store crops, access credit, and sell produce efficiently. To date, the company has disbursed over Rs 2,000 crore in loans secured against stored crops. In FY24, it reported interest income of Rs 55.4 crore.

Arya.ag has also expanded partnerships with banks for co-lending, processors for value-added trade, and climate-focused organizations. The company plans to expand its geographic footprint and strengthen its technology stack by FY26.
