Agri & Food funding in India
Data as of 12 Oct 2026Methodology
We have 99 deep-tech funding events on record for Agri & Food in India, across 72 companies. Compiled from public news reports and community submissions - we count every round we find, including those with undisclosed amounts, so “events” is always the fuller number and “known funding” is deliberately a subset.
Funding data is compiled from public sources - news reports, company websites and public filings - and may contain errors. Please verify before relying on it.

All rounds on record, to 2026 YTD. Updated 12 Oct 2026. The chart starts in 2015; the 3 earlier events are counted in these totals. 6 events have no usable date - counted here, absent from the chart below.
What these numbers are made of
33 of the 99 events (33%) on record here is a company's latest known round, found by web research rather than reported round by round. Two consequences worth knowing before you quote these numbers:
- Each such company contributes one event, so “funding events” is a floor on real activity - closer to companies with a known latest round than to a count of rounds.
- Their amount is the company's total known capital raised, priced in the year of that round - so known funding reads high per event, and the median is a median of company totals rather than of single rounds.
Press-reported and community-submitted rounds are counted one round at a time; this caveat shrinks as they land.
Two more things a careful reader should know: early years rest on very few events, so a single large round can dominate a year before roughly 2021 - read the shape of the curve, not any one point. And the set follows our deep-tech startup classification, which includes India-registered subsidiaries and companies with foreign parents, so a national total is not the same as capital raised by Indian-founded companies.
Events and known capital by year
Bars are funding events (left axis); the line is known funding - disclosed rounds only (right axis). They diverge when more rounds go unreported, not when less money moves. 2026 is year-to-date.
Recently funded
Company, sector and when - that's the free view. Amounts, investors and the per-round sources live on each company's profile in the startup directory. A date without a month means the source gave us the year only.
How we count funding
This signal is compiled from public news reports and community submissions. Press-reported and community rounds carry a link to the source they came from; entries derived from our own company research are marked as such and carry no per-round citation - they record that a company raised, not a single reported deal. We count every funding event we find, including rounds with undisclosed amounts, so “funding events” is always ≥ “disclosed rounds”.
“Known funding” sums disclosed amounts only, converted at a fixed reference rate (₹83/USD, as of Jul 2026); undisclosed rounds are counted as events, never as $0, and medians use disclosed amounts only. Some entries reflect a company's latest known round rather than its full round history.
This is a directional signal from press-reported data - not audited financials, not MCA filings, and not investment advice. A company's own round history, where we have it, is on its profile in the startup directory.
