GST Registrations

Not obtained. knowyourgst.com and findgst.in searches for the entity returned 404s; a DuckDuckGo query for the GSTIN hit a CAPTCHA wall (not bypassed, per policy). No confirmed GSTIN, home state count, or registration count could be sourced.

Financials

• Partial / conflicting, standalone, no consolidated financials found; no listed subsidigroup consolidation mentioned:
• Revenue: TheCompanyCheck, two independent fetches, consistent, states FY2025 revenue of ₹61.29 crore, +122% YoY.
• Tofler, as of data updated ~Mar 2024/latest filed year, states total revenue grew +131.05% YoY but does not disclose the absolute rupee figure (paywalled) — direction is roughly consistent with TheCompanyCheck's growth claim but the two sources report different fiscal cut-offs, so treat the two growth percentages as not reconciled.
• Net worth: declined 21.42% YoY (Tofler); absolute figure not obtained.
• Borrowings: TheCompanyCheck shows open charges of ₹72.28 crore and satisfied charges of ₹13.19 crore
• Tofler separately shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.06 and states borrowings decreased 10.94% YoY — these two figures are not on the same basis and are not fully reconcilable from what was fetched.
• EBITDA and PAT: not obtained, paywalled "GET PRO"/locked fields on both Tofler and TheCompanyCheck.
• Employees: 87 as of 31 March 2024, TheCompanyCheck.

Funding History

• Partial, with a source conflict on totals/date:
• Confirmed via 3 independent secondary sources, Indian Startup News, Tech in Asia summary via search snippet, and a Tracxn search snippet: Eeki raised US$7 million led by Sixth Sense Ventures, quote from Nikhil Vora, Founder/CEO of Sixth Sense Ventures, confirms the round.
• Indian Startup News dates this 1 July 2025
• The Tracxn snippet dates the same round 21 June 2025 — a ~10-day date discrepancy between sources, not resolved.
• Indian Startup News states this brings total funding to "over $10 million raised in the last year", i.e., trailing-12-month figure, not lifetime total.
• A Tracxn search-result snippet separately claims lifetime total funding of $20.5M across 11 rounds from 85 investors — this figure could not be corroborated by a live Tracxn page fetch (404) and is materially higher than the other sources' implied lifetime total, so it is reported here only as an unverified Tracxn claim per the "Tracxn for round names only" sourcing rule, not taken at face value.
• No round/series name, valuation, or full historical investor list was obtained with confidence.

Shareholding

• Not obtained — shareholding pattern is paywalled/locked on both Tofler and TheCompanyCheck. Known shareholders are limited to the two director-shareholders, Amit Kumar and Abhay Singh, per Tofler's director listing, which tags both as "Shareholder"
• Percentage split not disclosed.

Loans & Charges

• Confirmed, TheCompanyCheck, consistent across two fetches:
• Open charges: ₹72.28 crore total — largest chargeholder listed as "Others", ₹72.20 crore aggregate, plus HDFC Bank Limited (₹0.08 crore).
• 28cr "open charges" figure are not reconcilable from the data fetched — likely different cut-off dates/charge sets — flagged as a conflict rather than merged
• Satisfied charges: ₹13.19 crore, TheCompanyCheck.
• Recent charge registrations per TheCompanyCheck: 13-Oct-2025 (₹5 cr), 25-Jul-2025 (₹3 cr), 24-May-2025, ₹2.58 30-Apr-2025 (₹10 cr) — all shown as open

Related Parties

• Partial, TheCompanyCheck: Eeki Automation Pvt Ltd is shown with 1 subsidiary — Eeki Farms Private Limited, CIN U46692RJ2020PTC072013, — and "common directors in 13 related entities," naming a few by pattern: Eeki Agri Projects, Eeki Fresh, Eeki Lakheri Project, exact legal names/CINs of these were not individually confirmed — treat as a group-name lead, not a verified list.
• No related-party transaction values obtained.

Credit Ratings

• None found.
• Direct site queries to CRISIL Ratings and ICRA for "Eeki"/"Eeki Automation" returned no matching rating, 404/no result on both.
• No CARE Ratings check was completed.
• Treated as "none found" rather than "not rated" since coverage of ratings-agency search was incomplete.

Legal & Compliance

• Partial (Indian Kanoon): One matching result — "Abhay Singh & Ors vs State Of Haryana & Ors," Punjab & Haryana High Court, dated 12 January 2026 — which references "Amit Kumar, Owner, EEKI AUTOMATION PVT LTD" at an address in Kota, in connection with proceedings involving the Superintendent of Police, Panipat office.
• The nature/outcome of the case and its relevance to the company, vs. a personal/individual matter involving the same named people, could not be determined from the search snippet alone — flagged as needing manual verification before publishing as "litigation involving the company."

Competitive Landscape

• Partial — named via a general web search on the Indian vertical/controlled-environment farming space, not each independently deep-profiled:
• UrbanKisaan — hydroponic vegetable farming, Hyderabad-based; comparable early/growth-stage agritech scale.
• Barton Breeze — hydroponics/aeroponics farm-setup and automation provider, describes itself as India's largest commercial hydroponics startup; comparable scale.
• Triton Foodworks — vertical/greenhouse farming operator, cited among major Indian vertical-farming players; comparable scale.
• , Adjacent, not confirmed as a direct competitor from sources fetched: Kheyti — greenhouse-in-a-box model for smallholder farmers, different customer segment/scale — included only as a plausible category peer, not verified.
• Market context: Indian vertical-farming market estimated at US$82.7M (2024) growing to ~US$200M by 2030, with 68+ active players cited in the source snippet, source not independently verified.
