In the heart of rural India, where challenges abound and opportunities are rare, Oorja has been on a transformative journey, empowering households and fostering sustainability through clean energy and innovative farming solutions. 2024 was a year of bold innovation, strategic collaborations, remarkable achievements and resilient growth. Join us in celebrating another year of an unyielding dedication to empowering smallholder farmers.

Scaling Up with Fresh Investments

A key highlight of the year was the successful closure of Oorja’s US$1.5 million Pre-Series A funding round. This milestone, supported by impact investors like Acumen Fund, elea, Artha Impact (Rianta Capital), 1to4 Foundation, Signal Fund, PG Impact and Swiss Re Foundation,, will supercharge our expansion into new districts and states, enabling us to scale our Farming-as-a-Service model. By 2030, Oorja aims to have deployed 10,000 agri-solar projects, positively impacting 1 million lives and abating 500,000 metric tons of CO2e emissions.
