In a significant development for the sustainable agriculture sector, Himshakti, a renowned brand specializing in eco-friendly agricultural produce, has successfully secured $99.8K in its pre-seed funding round. EvolveX spearheaded this funding round, with We Founder Circle as a co-investor. Other notable contributors include Artha Venture Fund, Auxano, VKJ Projects, and several distinguished angel investors who have recognized the immense potential of Himshakti’s vision.
The company has outlined an ambitious roadmap for utilizing the newly acquired funds, primarily focusing on expanding its team, bolstering its sales and marketing efforts, and introducing innovative new products. Himshakti’s vision extends beyond profits and encompasses a commitment to supporting local communities and promoting sustainability.
Himshakti, founded by Harshit Sehdev in 2019, has carved a niche for itself by offering a wide range of organic products, including seasoned salts, spices, teas, cereals, and juices sourced from the pristine Himalayan region of India. The brand achieved a significant milestone by introducing India’s pink salt in collaboration with Hindustan Salts Ltd and Sambhar Salts Ltd, a testament to its commitment to quality and authenticity.
Headquartered in Dehradun, Himshakti continues to innovate in sustainable agriculture, consistently launching new products that cater to the evolving demands of conscious consumers. Recent additions to their product lineup include Hemp flour, Hemp seeds, Hemp oil, Nettle tea, and Chamomile tea, among others. These offerings not only cater to the growing demand for organic and eco-friendly products but also serve as a means to uplift and empower local villagers and farmers by providing them with a stable source of income.
Himshakti’s success story has been on an upward trajectory, with increasing support from investors and recognition from industry leaders. In October of the previous year, the company raised Rs 17 lakh in funding, led by Artha Venture Fund and IIM Kashipur. Angel investors Anand Kumar of Pier Counsel and Varun Agrawal of StarClinch were enthusiastic participants in this round, further reinforcing the brand’s potential and impact in the sustainable agriculture sector.
With this latest pre-seed round led by EvolveX, Himshakti is poised for rapid growth and expansion. The company’s commitment to sustainability, support for local communities, and innovative product offerings position it as a frontrunner in the sustainable agriculture space, making it a brand to watch in the coming years. Himshakti’s journey is not just about profits; it’s a green revolution that’s set to redefine the future of sustainable agriculture in India and beyond.
