Lucknow, July 2025 — Agritech startup Gramik has raised ₹17 crore in fresh bridge funding to expand its rural commerce operations across India. The round included optionally and compulsorily convertible debentures, with participation from Sammaan Global Ventures, Money Creeper Investment, and prominent angels like Balram Yadav (MD, Godrej Agrovet), Irfan Alam, and Gev Aryaton.
Founded in 2021 by Raj Yadav, Gramik operates a peer commerce platform that empowers rural entrepreneurs to deliver farm inputs, agronomy support, and essential agri-products directly to farmers. The model blends local trust with tech-enabled supply chains to unlock rural demand.
Currently active in 12 districts, Gramik works with over 1,200 village-level entrepreneurs (VLEs) and 250+ rural retailers. The startup aims to scale to 3,000+ VLEs and reach 1 million farmers by next year.
“This funding will help us deepen farmer engagement, expand our private-label product line, and build stronger data-led agronomy support,” said founder Raj Yadav.
The company integrates demand aggregation, embedded credit, last-mile logistics, and digital advisory — building a full-stack rural distribution engine. Its key focus areas are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Jammu.
The ₹17 crore bridge round sets the stage for Gramik’s upcoming ₹56 crore Series A, expected to close in the next 4–5 months. Talks are underway with multiple impact funds and strategic investors.
At a time when Bharat’s rural tech stack is maturing, Gramik is positioning itself as a backbone for trust-driven, village-led commerce.
