FarMart partners with Aerem to integrate clean energy into India’s agri-food supply chain

SaaS-based food commerce platform FarMart has partnered with Aerem, a rooftop solar provider for MSMEs, to address a long-standing challenge in India’s agri-food system: ensuring access to reliable, cost-efficient energy for food processing. 

The partnership integrates Aerem’s clean energy solutions into FarMart’s expansive network of food processors and aggregators, helping them reduce energy costs, improve uptime, and scale sustainably. 

FarMart operates a decentralised, tech-enabled food supply platform that connects over 3.8 million farmers, 1,500+ processors, and 4,000+ food businesses across India, the Middle East, and Africa—digitising the sourcing, aggregation, and distribution of agricultural produce to enable a more efficient and transparent food economy.

Aerem complements this with a full-stack rooftop solar ecosystem for MSMEs, combining a digital platform, an RBI-licensed NBFC, and a B2B marketplace of verified OEMs, EPCs, and distributors—making solar adoption seamless, affordable, and scalable.

“Our partnership with FarMart Solaris is a powerful step towards accelerating solar adoption in India’s food processing sector. Our shared goal is to make clean energy accessible, helping processors cut costs, reduce emissions, and build resilient businesses for the future,” said Anand Jain, Founder & CEO, Aerem. 

“Reliable energy has become foundational infrastructure for the food economy,” said Alekh Sanghera, Co-founder & CEO, FarMart. “We’re excited to collaborate with Aerem to help our partners transition to clean energy and build a future-ready agri-supply chain.” 

“We’re delighted to see two Avaana portfolio companies—FarMart and Aerem—come together in a partnership that brings transformative value at the intersection of energy and food systems. Together, they are powering the agri value chain with clean energy, strengthening resilience, unlocking productivity, and creating systems-level change. Congratulations to both the teams —this is exactly the kind of collaboration that will shape a Viksit Bharat”, said Anjali Bansal, Founding Partner, Avaana Capital.
