In a significant move that reinforces its mission to transform Indian agriculture, AgroStar has raised INR 57.6 Cr (approx. $6.7 Mn) in fresh funding, led by existing investor Accel India. The round also saw participation from Aavishkaar India, Bertelsmann, Evolvence India, Chiratae Ventures, and Hero Enterprises.
Founded in 2013 by Sitanshu Sheth and Shardul Sheth, AgroStar is on a mission to bridge the knowledge and access gap for millions of Indian farmers. By combining data, technology, and a robust supply chain, the startup delivers quality agri-inputs and personalized advisory directly to farmers’ phones—empowering over 9 million users across 11 Indian states.
AgroStar’s acquisition of INI Farms in 2022 further enabled its farmers to tap into global markets across 25+ countries.
This latest capital infusion will likely strengthen AgroStar’s technology backbone and accelerate its reach, especially as India’s agritech landscape continues to mature. With over $2.4 Bn raised in the sector since 2014, AgroStar is poised to lead the next phase of agricultural innovation in India.
