ImpactAlpha, December 15 – Delhi-based Arya helps India’s smallholder farmers transport and store their goods post-harvest, and provides them with working capital for the period between harvest and sale.

Arya operates a network of 1,500 storage facilities in villages across 20 Indian states.
The company raised $21 million of mixed debt and equity funding. Quona Capital led the Series B round. Existing investors Omnivore and LGT Lightstone Aspada reupped in the round after an earlier commitment of $6 million.
