Farming and supply chain startup Absolute Foods is in talks with new and existing investors to raise a fresh round of USD 10 million, according to two sources aware of the development. The company has been in talks with Falcon Edge to raise a $10 million Series A round. Absolute Foods will be valued in the range of $40-50 million in this transaction, reported Entrackr.
This would be the second round of funding for the five-year-old company in 2021. According to regulatory filings, it had raised $2 million from Sequoia Capital India’s Surge Ventures and two individuals: Nadir Godrej and Sanjiv Rangrass in March. New Delhi-based incubator Indigram Labs was its early backer.
“Absolute Foods was selected in the fifth cohort of Sequoia’s accelerator program Surge which will be announced in a month or two. Sequoia will also participate in the company’s Series A round,” said the second source who also wished not to be named.

Currently operating in seven countries including Germany, France, UAE, and Kuwait, Absolute Foods works with over 8,000 farmers and claims to have 25,000 acres under its management.
Globally, Iron Ox, Plenty and Village Farms are operating in the same segment whereas home-grown company UrbanKisaan directly competes with Absolute Foods.
