Founded in July 2015, Ninjacart initially began as a hyperlocal grocery delivery company but later shifted to a B2B setup. The platform enables farmers to sell vegetables and fruits directly to business establishments such as shops, retailers and restaurants.

The company raised Rs 250 crore in its Series B funding round led by US-based venture capital firm Accel and Switzerland-based agricultural investor Syngenta Ventures in December last year.

So far, the startup has raised $150 million. Its other investors include Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani’s NRJN Trust, Russian venture firm HR Capital, venture debt firm Trifecta Capital, Japanese VC firm-cum-accelerator Misteltoe and Qualcomm Ventures. South Korean-based Neoplux, the venture arm of the Doosan Corp; Joe Hirao, founder of multi-business firm ZIGExN; have also invested in Ninjacart.
