AgroStar has raised $30 million in new equity funding from climate-focused investment firm Just Climate, marking a significant milestone for the AgTech company as it prepares to expand its national footprint and accelerate innovation. The round—supported by existing investors and advised exclusively by The Raine Group—strengthens AgroStar’s position as a leading player in India’s agricultural transformation. The fresh capital comes at a time when the sector is undergoing rapid shifts driven by climate pressures, digital adoption and the growing need for sustainable farming solutions.
With its AI-powered advisory platform and a catalogue of more than 200 AgroStar-branded agri-input products, the company currently reaches over 10 million farmers through its digital ecosystem and a network of 10,000 physical retail stores. AgroStar has also expanded into global markets through Kimaye, its fresh-produce brand, which is now available in premium supermarkets across more than 25 countries. This integrated model—spanning inputs, advisory services, and market linkages—has positioned AgroStar as a comprehensive solution provider for small and large farmers alike.
Co-founder and CEO Shardul Sheth underscored the stakes for Indian agriculture, noting the growing risks of climate change and soil degradation. He emphasized the value of the new partnership, stating that Indian agriculture is grappling with “climate variability and degraded soils,” and that the collaboration with Just Climate brings not only funding but deep expertise and shared commitment. He added that the investment will help accelerate the company’s mission of empowering farmers through sustainable, technology-driven solutions that can improve incomes and long-term resilience. As he put it, partnering with Just Climate adds “both expertise and conviction to drive real systemic change.”
AgroStar plans to deploy the new capital toward scaling its omnichannel operations, introducing new product innovations across the agricultural value chain, and strengthening its AI-based tools to deliver more precise and personalized advisory support to farmers. The company also aims to broaden its reach into newer regions while enhancing supply-chain efficiency and market access for farmers. By prioritizing both productivity and environmental responsibility, AgroStar intends to create an ecosystem that supports farmer prosperity while promoting sustainable agriculture for the future.
