Bhagalpur: Adding another feather to its cap, Bihar Agricultural University (BAU) has secured a patent for its innovation ‘Hydrogel from mango seed kernels’, a breakthrough in secondary agriculture with potential applications in water management under the concepts of ‘waste-to-wealth’ and ‘zero wastage’.

The funds raised from the consumer-focussed fund will be used for scaling up and expanding farm operations across India, as well as accelerating its technology rollouts. This takes the total amount of funds raised by the agritech startup to around $15 million since its inception. Eeki’s technology enables the farm’s climate to be controlled, allowing vegetables to be grown all year without being affected by seasonal variations.

Agritech startup GROWiT India raised $3 million in a round led by GVFL, with participation from several investors. The funds will support expansion, enhance R&D, and improve technology infrastructure. CEO Saurabh Agarwal emphasised using technology to tackle climate challenges and promote sustainable, cost-effective farming for increased yields.
