Satyukt Analytics Private Limited, a Bengaluru-based agritech analytics start-up has raised Rs 10 crore investment from NABVENTURES, a venture growth equity fund backed by NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) in its pre-Series A funding round.
The transaction was supported by Equity 360's Sumeet Seraf.
