Indian agritech startup Eeki, based in Kota, has raised $7 million in a Series A2 funding round to expand its innovative farming operations across India. The funding, led by Sixth Sense Ventures, marks a significant milestone for the company after a funding hiatus of over three years.
Eeki is pioneering climate-resilient farming with its cutting-edge aeroponic technology, which allows for pesticide-free cultivation of staple vegetables. This investment will enable the startup to scale up farm operations nationwide and deploy its advanced Gen 3 Growing Chambers.
The company aims to strengthen its research and development (R&D) efforts, with over 30% of its team dedicated to technological advancements. This focus on innovation is set to maximize yield while minimizing resource use, addressing key challenges in modern agriculture.
Eeki’s mission is to solidify its position as a leader in nutrition and sustainable farming. With plans to expand into international markets like the UAE, Singapore, and Europe, the startup is poised to make a global impact in the agritech sector.
This funding round also highlights the growing investor confidence in agritech solutions that tackle food security and environmental sustainability. Eeki’s approach, which includes a patent-pending IoT control mechanism, has already shown promising results with a 300% yield increase and 80% less water usage.
As Eeki continues to grow, it plans to transform barren lands into productive farms, further contributing to India’s agricultural landscape. This investment is a stepping stone toward achieving large-scale, sustainable food production in the country.
