KisanKonnect Raises INR 72 Crore Pre-Series B Led by Bajaj Finserv

KisanKonnect, a Mumbai-based farm-to-fork agri-tech startup founded in 2020 by Vivek and Nidhi Nirmal, has raised approximately $8 million (INR 72 crore) in a pre-Series B funding round led by Bajaj Finserv Group, with participation from Mistry Ventures, Desai Foods, Dhanuka Agritech, and Action Tessa Family Office. This fresh capital follows a $4.5 million Series A round earlier in 2025 and will be used to enhance the company's supply chain intelligence, expand its omnichannel direct-to-consumer model, and strengthen its technology stack. KisanKonnect sources produce directly from a network of over 5,000 farmers, serving more than 100,000 customers in Mumbai and Pune via a digital app promising 60-minute delivery and offline farm stores. The company leverages proprietary technologies such as IoT, RFID-enabled traceability, AI-driven demand forecasting, and real-time monitoring dashboards to manage over 650 temperature-sensitive SKUs while minimizing wastage and improving logistics scalability. Despite challenges in the Indian fresh produce market, KisanKonnect’s focus on technology and strong farmer partnerships positions it well for long-term resilience, as the sector attracts growing investor interest alongside players like Handpickd. The funding will also support deepening farmer relationships and scaling both online and offline presence to meet rising demand for fresh, sustainable produce.
