FarMart, a SaaS-based food commerce platform, and Aerem, a rooftop solar provider for MSMEs, have entered into a partnership to integrate Aerem’s clean energy solutions into FarMart’s 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-plus processors, and 4,000-plus food businesses across India, West Asia, and Africa — digitising the sourcing, aggregation, and distribution of agricultural produce to enable a more efficient and transparent food economy, said a statement.
Aerem complements this with a full-stack rooftop solar ecosystem for micro, small, and medium enterprises, combining a digital platform, an Reserve Bank of India-licensed non-banking financial company, and a B2B marketplace of verified original equipment manufacturers, Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPCs), and distributors, it said.
Shared goal
Anand Jain, Founder and CEO of Aerem, said: “Our shared goal is to make clean energy accessible, helping processors cut costs, reduce emissions, and build resilient businesses for the future.”
Alekh Sanghera, Co-founder and CEO of FarMart, said reliable energy has become foundational infrastructure for the food economy.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Aerem to help our partners transition to clean energy and build a future-ready agri supply chain,” Sanghera said.
Anjali Bansal, Founding Partner of Avaana Capital, said: “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.”
