Agritech firm BigHaat has raised $10 million in a funding round led by Bidra Innovation Ventures, the US-based venture capital arm of OCP Group, a global leader in plant nutrition solutions. The round also saw participation from existing investors – JM Financial and Ashish Kacholia.
The investment will fuel BigHaat’s ambition to grow its digital-first farmer-centric agriculture ecosystem multi-fold and establish itself as a globally traceable food value-chain player, the company said in a statement.
Over the past few years, BigHaat has established itself as a strong player in the Indian spices value chain. The company boasts India’s largest direct-to-farmer network and is one of the few companies in the country with strong ESG-based farming and sourcing capabilities, driving significant reduction in carbon footprint, end-to-end traceability and IPM-driven food-safety compliance.
Total funding ₹300 crore
“By partnering with OCP Group, we aim to bring advanced agriculture solutions to Indian farmers and further strengthen BigHaat’s position as India’s leading agritech company,” said Satish Nukla, CEO, BigHaat.
After this round, BigHaat’s total funding is around Rs 300 crore. Its investors include JM Financial, Ashish Kacholia, Ankur Capital and BNV.
“BigHaat has created a differentiated platform that combines deep farmer engagement, strong agronomic capabilities and traceability in high-value crops,” said Yassine Cherkaoui, CEO of Bidra Innovation Ventures. Cherkaoui said, “Our partnership reflects a shared conviction that sustainable gains in agricultural productivity will come from locally based solutions that improve farmers’ economies while meeting global standards for quality, food safety and environmental stewardship.”
