Arya.ag, which claims to be India's only profitable grain commerce platform, today announced the appointment of Priyanka Seth Wadhera as Group Chief Financial Officer, effective May 2025.
Priyanka brings over 23 years of rich financial leadership experience across fintech, NBFCs, and global banking institutions, with deep expertise in finance, treasury, compliance, and risk management. Prior to Arya.ag, she served as Group Chief Financial Officer at Indifi Technologies, where she successfully raised over Rs 430 crore in equity, led its transition to profitability, and strengthened its financial and investor frameworks. She has also held senior roles at Clix, Barclays, Religare, Citi, and PwC, gaining deep expertise across diverse financial environments.
Her appointment comes at a pivotal time as Arya.ag strengthens its financial systems to support scalable growth, enhance capital efficiency, and deepen its reach across India’s agricultural value chains.
As the company expands its product and service footprint into new regions, scales its embedded finance offerings, and explores partnerships to build more resilient post-harvest infrastructure, it is entering a critical phase of growth. Arya.ag said that strengthening internal controls, managing capital with discipline, and building a finance function to support these ambitions will be key priorities for this growth.
“Arya.ag is addressing fundamental challenges in agriculture through technology and market-linked solutions,” said Priyanka Seth Wadhera. “The opportunity to contribute to a company that sits at the intersection of impact and scale is deeply meaningful. I look forward to working with the team to strengthen financial systems, drive performance, and support long-term value creation.”
“Priyanka has worked across both regulated institutions and high-growth businesses,” said Prasanna Rao, Co-founder and CEO, Arya.ag. “Her structured approach to finance and experience in building strong teams and systems will be valuable as we scale further.”
Priyanka is a Chartered Accountant and a graduate of Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University. She has led finance functions across companies of varied size and complexity and brings a strong understanding of financial discipline and cross-functional execution.
Last month, Arya.ag reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 32 crore for FY 2024–25, a 70% rise over the previous year. The company reported gross revenue of Rs 5,738.7 crore, net revenue of Rs 447 crore, and a platform-enabled commodity throughput of Rs 26,961 crore during the year.
