Agritech startup Agrizy raised $9.8 million (approximately Rs 82 crore) in a funding round co-led by Accion and Omnivore, with participation from Capria Ventures, Thai Wah Ventures, and existing investor Ankur Capital. The funds will be used to expand into new product areas and markets, launch contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) and value-added advisory services, and provide financial services to MSME processors and farmer-producer organizations (FPOs).
Founded in 2021 by Vicky Dodani and Saket Chirania, the Bengaluru-based platform connects agricultural suppliers, processors, and buyers across food and non-food categories. Agrizy aims to transform India into a global food processing hub by helping FPOs and MSME agri-processors access export markets and comply with global quality standards. The platform serves over 100 institutional clients in India and overseas.
The company’s unique approach leverages technology to streamline the agri-processing supply chain, making it easier for small and medium enterprises to manage procurement and sales. By offering digital tools and financial services, Agrizy empowers these businesses to improve their operational efficiency and achieve better market outcomes.
John Fischer from Accion and Mark Kahn from Omnivore highlighted Agrizy’s role in providing a marketplace and support for small processors and FPOs, as well as the importance of its move into contract manufacturing to streamline export-focused supply chains.
