Saudi Aramco invests in Indian startup to enhance water resilience for Asian rice farming
Saudi Aramco’s venture arm, Aramco Ventures, has led a $9.5 million investment in Mitti Labs, an Indian climate-tech startup, to expand its platform that uses satellite imagery, AI, and field operations to reduce water use and methane emissions in rice farming across Asia. The Series A round also included investments from Lightspeed India, Godrej Industries Group, Cisco, and others. Mitti Labs, which has raised $12.5 million total, employs a GeoAI platform that creates digital twins of rice fields to monitor crop conditions, water usage, and emissions. The startup claims its technology helps farmers cut water use by 40% and methane emissions by over 50% without affecting yields, while generating carbon credits. With operations in India and plans to expand to the Philippines, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian markets, Mitti Labs aims to reach millions of smallholder farmers by 2030. The partnership with Aramco Ventures also opens opportunities for collaboration in carbon markets and potential future projects with Aramco itself.
