In This Article
DeHaat agritech is a full-stack farming platform that connects over 12 million Indian farmers to inputs, advisory, credit, and markets, and it crossed Rs 3,041 Cr ($315.6 Mn) in revenue in FY25. The Patna-based company, run by parent firm Green Agrevolution Pvt. Ltd., grew that top line by 11% year on year while narrowing its operating losses.
Founded in 2012, DeHaat blends a digital app with a physical network of DeHaat Centres run by local micro-entrepreneurs. This hybrid model reaches smallholder farmers in more than 120,000 villages, a group long underserved by traditional supply chains. The story here is scale meeting rural India, one harvest at a time.
StartupFeed Insight
DeHaat’s real edge is not its app, it is the roughly 80% of revenue that now comes from the agri-output business, selling spices and staples like red chili, turmeric, and lentils under its Farm Plus brand. That mix delivers steady but thin margins, so the number to watch is gross margin, not GMV. Investors and rival founders should track whether DeHaat can pair volume with a higher-margin line such as credit or exports. StartupFeed expects DeHaat to declare its first full-year net profit (excluding non-cash gains) for FY26 by the September 2026 results filing, cementing its case as India’s agritech proof point.

The DeHaat Agritech Model
DeHaat agritech runs a full-stack model, meaning it owns the farmer relationship from seed purchase all the way to crop sale. The platform offers four core services: quality agri-inputs (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides), AI-driven crop advisory, access to credit and insurance, and market linkage to sell produce at better prices.
The engine behind this reach is a network of over 15,000 micro-entrepreneurs who run local DeHaat Centres. These operators handle last-mile delivery and pickup, letting the company serve remote villages without owning heavy physical assets. In 2025, DeHaat acquired farm advisory app AgriCentral from Olam Agri in an all-cash deal, adding roughly 10 million app users and quadrupling its farmer network. The move pushed its total base past 12 million farmers.
DeHaat by the Numbers
DeHaat agritech reported Rs 3,041 Cr ($315.6 Mn) in total revenue for FY25, based on filings with the Registrar of Companies. The table below captures the firm’s key metrics, funding, and scale.
| Metric | Detail | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FY25 Revenue | Rs 3,041 Cr ($315.6 Mn) | +11% YoY from Rs 2,720 Cr in FY24 (RoC) |
| FY25 Operating Loss | About Rs 207 Cr | Narrowed 15% from Rs 245 Cr in FY24 (Entrackr) |
| Farmers Served | Over 12 Million | Post AgriCentral acquisition (company) |
| Total Funding Raised | Over $224 Mn (Rs 2,158 Cr) | Across 12 rounds since 2012 (Tracxn) |
| Valuation | $700 Mn to $800 Mn | Since Series E in December 2022 (TheKredible) |
| Reach | 120,000 Villages, 12 States | Via 15,000 micro-entrepreneurs (company) |
The most striking figure is the revenue growth rate. At 11%, FY25 marked DeHaat’s slowest annual top-line growth in recent years, a sign that scaling in agritech is getting harder, not easier.
About DeHaat
DeHaat, operated by Green Agrevolution Pvt. Ltd., is a full-stack agritech platform founded in 2012 in Patna by Shashank Kumar, Amrendra Singh, Shyam Sundar Singh, and Abhishek Dokania. It provides agri-inputs, AI advisory, credit, and market linkage to over 12 million farmers. Its top backers include Temasek, Peak XV Partners, Prosus Ventures, Sofina, and Lightrock India.
Is DeHaat Agritech Profitable Yet?
DeHaat agritech is not yet fully profitable, but it is close. The firm reported a headline net profit of Rs 369 Cr in FY25, a sharp swing from a Rs 1,133 Cr loss in FY24. That profit came mainly from a one-time, non-cash gain of Rs 576 Cr tied to fair value adjustments on preference shares, so it does not reflect core operations.
“AgriCentral’s cost-efficient digital capabilities will complement our efforts in reaching millions of underserved farmers with our full-stack agri value chain offerings,” said Shashank Kumar, Co-founder and CEO of DeHaat.
Strip out that gain, and DeHaat still posted an operating loss of about Rs 207 Cr. The good news for the firm is that this loss narrowed 15% year on year, and management says it reached EBITDA breakeven in Q1 FY26. The company now targets full-year profitability in FY26, with cash-flow positivity by the fourth quarter.
How Does DeHaat Compare in the Sector?
DeHaat agritech operates in a crowded field, competing with Ninjacart, AgroStar, and Arya.ag on different fronts. The comparison below shows how the leading full-stack and marketplace players stack up on scale and business focus.
| Company | Core Focus | Scale Signal |
|---|---|---|
| DeHaat | Full-stack, farmer-first | Rs 3,041 Cr revenue, 12 Mn farmers |
| Ninjacart | Fresh produce supply chain | Last valued around $812 Mn |
| Arya.ag | Grain commerce and storage | Profitable at scale, raised Rs 725 Cr in 2026 |
What sets DeHaat apart is depth over breadth. Rather than owning one slice of the chain, it owns the full farmer journey, from the seed a farmer buys to the crop that farmer sells to a European exporter.
What’s Next
DeHaat plans to deepen its presence in existing states and grow its Farm Plus output brand rather than chase rapid geographic expansion. It also aims to lift export volumes, already shipping to 32 markets including the UK and Southeast Asia. The near-term milestone: a genuine full-year operating profit in FY26, reported around September 2026. Can a farmer-first model finally prove agritech can pay?
