Farmley, a fast-growing Indian startup specializing in dry fruits and healthy snacking, is projected to close the financial year 2024-25 with revenues approaching Rs 400 crore, according to a recent report titled “Farmley Nears Rs 400 Cr Revenue In FY25; Losses Under Control” published by Startup News FYI. The company, headquartered in Delhi-NCR, has achieved this milestone through robust demand for its value-added nuts and dry fruit offerings, as well as an increasingly diverse distribution strategy.
According to the original report, Farmley’s revenue leap signifies significant growth from previous years, reflecting the company’s ability to scale its business in a competitive consumer goods landscape. Importantly, while accelerating top-line expansion, the company has reportedly managed to keep losses in check, signaling an emphasis on improving operational efficiencies and financial sustainability.
Founded in 2017 by Akash Sharma and Abhishek Agarwal, Farmley operates within an increasingly health-conscious Indian market. Its focus on a farm-to-fork supply chain—bypassing traditional intermediaries—has allowed the company to manage quality, reduce costs, and provide better value to consumers. This control over sourcing and production is believed to be a key differentiator in the fragmented snacking market.
The company’s product line includes staples such as almonds, cashews, and raisins, along with newer, flavored and roasted variants that cater to urban snacking trends. The diversification of its portfolio has helped it tap into multiple consumer segments, from health-focused buyers to lifestyle-driven snackers, bolstering growth across online and offline channels.
Farmley’s direct-to-consumer model, initially driven by e-commerce, has in recent years been complemented by strategic retail expansion across major metropolitan areas. The company’s presence in modern trade outlets, along with tie-ups with quick commerce and kirana stores, has provided a wider platform for growth and brand recognition.
The Startup News FYI report highlights that Farmley, while nearing the Rs 400 crore revenue mark, is taking a cautious approach to spending, aligning with a broader trend among startups toward capital efficiency and profitability. The company’s commitment to reducing burn rates and improving its unit economics is particularly notable at a time when the startup ecosystem faces increased investor scrutiny and shifting funding norms.
Farmley’s trajectory underscores the rising demand for healthier alternatives in India’s snacking sector, a segment projected to grow significantly in the coming years. As consumers increasingly prioritize nutrition, transparency, and convenience, companies like Farmley are well-positioned to capitalize on these shifts.
As it approaches a key financial milestone, Farmley’s path forward will likely involve continued innovation in product lines, deeper retail penetration, and possible fundraising to support its ambitions. If current trends persist, the startup could emerge as a prominent challenger brand in India’s fast-evolving packaged food landscape.
