Agri-tech startup BharatRohan raises funding from Upaya Social Ventures, Acumen

My Big Plunge  

BharatRohan Airborne Innovations, a Delhi-based agritech startup, has raised seed funding in a round led by Upaya Social Ventures and Acumen Fund Inc. The fresh capital will be used to strengthen its foothold across Rajasthan and Gujarat and scale its traceable, sustainable, and profitable ecosystem of seed spices, oilseeds, and pulses across 2 lakh acres in the next 18 months. The investment is also expected to help build the firm's capability to sell close to 7,000 metric tonnes of seed spices like cumin, coriander, fenugreek, carom, and fennel to different institutional buyers. BharatRohan provides drone-based advisory services to nearly 6,000 farmers across 20,000 acres in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
