Agri-tech startup Concinnity Agro2o Pvt. Ltd, based in New Delhi, has raised funding from Mumbai Angels Network.
The company, founded by Yash Vyas in 2018, says it develops products focused on making hydroponics-based farming accessible to both small farmers and commercial institutions.
The deal sum was not disclosed.
“Argo2o has a clear potential to grow because we as consumers are always looking out for fresh and organic vegetables these days,” Mumbai Angels Network co-promoter and chief executive Nandini Mansinghka said.
Vyas said the investment from Mumbai Angels Network would help the company in supporting its vision of offering healthy and sustainable solutions.
Agro2o’s product, the Smart Garden, allows for intelligent nutrient infusion, water refill reminders, and comes with features such as automated lighting and water and air quality detectors.
Up to 50 different plant types can be grown through the product, and their growth can be monitored through a user’s smartphone.
