Agritech startup AgroStar has raised $70 million (around Rs 527 crore) from Evolvence, Schroders Capital, Hero Enterprise and UK's development finance institution CDC to expand its business across India and future growth, its founder and CEO Shardul Sheth said on Tuesday.
The round also saw participation from existing investors Aavishkaar Capital, Accel, Bertelsmann, Chiratae Ventures, and Rabo Frontier Ventures.
''We have raised $70 million in Series D funding round from new as well as existing investors,'' Sheth told PTI.
He declined to share the valuation at which the fund has been raised.
