Chennai-based agricultural value chain enabler Samunnati has raised Rs 42.5 crore in its first equity funding round for the fiscal year 2025–26. The fresh investment has come from Agri-Biz Capital Delaware LLC, a global agri-focused investment firm. This new round pushes Samunnati’s total Series E equity raised to over Rs 381 crore.
This funding comes at a time when investor interest is returning to India’s agri-fintech and rural supply chains, especially in the context of building long-term resilience and growth in the farm sector. Founded in 2014 by Anil Kumar SG, Samunnati works to support smallholder farmers, agri-SMEs, and agritech startups by offering a mix of financial, market, and advisory services.
Samunnati Works Across India
Samunnati says it is now active in over 25 states and involved in more than 100 agricultural value chains. The company has also partnered with over 6,000 farmer producer organizations (FPOs) to help them access markets, credit, and capacity-building support. Its mission is to make agriculture more inclusive and to ensure small farmers gain better market access and financial tools.
Besides Agri-Biz Capital Delaware LLC, other key investors in Samunnati include Nuveen, Accel, Elevar Equity, Equitane, and responsAbility. Founder Anil Kumar SG said the latest funding shows confidence in Samunnati’s model that blends credit, markets, and advice. He added that the firm is now entering a new phase called Samunnati 2.0, with a stronger focus on building a fully connected agri-ecosystem.
Previous Funding Performance
Samunnati had closed the previous fiscal year with over Rs 1,150 crore in total funding, supported by both Indian and global lenders. Notable funders included U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (US DFC), Credit Saison, Tata Capital, Poonawalla Fincorp, and Hinduja Leyland Finance, along with fintech lenders like Wint Wealth, Altifi, Alteria Capital, and Anicut Capital.
Samunnati now looks to use the fresh capital to further support farmer collectives, strengthen its digital and financial tools, and continue building an agriculture ecosystem that helps smallholders grow sustainably.
