Agritech startup Grow Indigo has raised $10 million from British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor. The funding will accelerate Grow Indigo’s efforts to expand its sustainability-driven agricultural programs across India.
Grow Indigo focuses on promoting climate-smart farming practices, including direct seeded rice and no-tillage farming, which improve soil health, reduce erosion, enhance biodiversity, and boost water efficiency. These techniques also help reduce manual labor, particularly benefiting women farmers by making agricultural work less labor-intensive.
The company has already enrolled over 2.5 million acres of smallholder farmland across seven states, implementing sustainable practices that enhance both productivity and environmental impact.
Beyond farming, Grow Indigo collaborates with food and fashion companies to enable sustainable sourcing and reduce supply chain emissions. With a presence across 16 states, the startup works with over 2,000 distribution partners and a 600-member on-ground team, offering solutions from seed treatment to harvest.
This fresh funding is expected to broaden Grow Indigo’s reach, furthering its mission to drive regenerative agriculture and climate resilience in India’s farming sector.
