ONO raises $1.2 million in pre-series A round led by Aeravti Ventures

The company will use the new funds to improve its technology platform, expand into new markets, and strengthen its lending business.

Founded by Rama Rao Kancharapu and David Pokuri, ONO operates a data and AI-powered platform that helps manage post-harvest agriculture supply chains and provides lending support to Agri-SMEs. The company currently serves more than 1.3 lakh users across 12 states and over 125 districts in India.

The platform offers services such as market updates, crop pricing information, logistics support, and access to formal credit for farmers, traders, transporters, and buyers.

ONO has more than 2,000 paid subscribers and has helped process payouts worth over ₹200 crore. The platform has also supported the transportation of more than 25,000 metric tonnes of agricultural products across long-distance trade routes.

As part of its expansion plans, ONO has acquired a major stake in an NBFC to strengthen its lending business and improve access to credit for Agri-SMEs.

This move will also help the startup expand its financial services and offer better support to businesses in the agriculture sector.
