The investment comes on the back of increased interest in India’s agri-tech space from both global and local fund houses. The funding is part of an ongoing Rs 200-220 crore Series-B round that WayCool is looking to raise which also saw participation from angel investors and institutional lenders such as Northern Arc Capital and Caspian. The company said around 75% of the capital raised is in equity, while the rest is in debt.
