Arya.ag Raises $81 Million From GEF Capital to Scale Farm Storage and Credit Tech

Leadership now targets IPO readiness within 18 to 20 months.

Overview

  • The all-equity Series D totals $81 million (about Rs 725 crore), led by GEF Capital Partners with more than 70% primary capital and Avendus as advisor.
  • Arya.ag will deploy the funds to scale AI- and satellite-driven tools, sensor-enabled storage and a blockchain tracking system while expanding storage and credit infrastructure to cut post-harvest losses.
  • The company reports profitability with FY25 net revenue of ₹4.5 billion and ₹340 million PAT, followed by H1 FY26 revenue of about ₹3 billion and a 39% rise in profit.
  • Its network spans roughly 12,000 leased agri-warehouses across about 60% of districts, reaching 850,000–900,000 farmers, aggregating roughly $3 billion in grain and facilitating around $1.5 billion in loans each year.
  • Risk is managed by lending only a portion of stored-grain value with mark-to-market margin calls, keeping gross NPAs below 0.5%, as the firm targets IPO readiness in 18–20 months and explores selective software-led expansion overseas.
