EF Polymer Raises $17.8 Million in Series B Round

Delhi: EF Polymer a trailblazing deep tech startup founded by Ankit Jain, Puran Singh Rajput, and Narayan Lal Gurjar, proudly announces the successful second close of its Series B funding round through a third-party allotment. With enthusiastic participation from investors across diverse industries, the total capital raised now stands at $17.8 million USD—an emphatic endorsement of EF Polymer’s mission to scale sustainable innovation across borders.

EF Polymer is the creator of 100% bio-based super absorbent polymers, developed from agricultural waste to address one of the world’s most urgent challenges: water scarcity. These biodegradable polymers dramatically improve soil water retention, reduce irrigation needs, and empower farmers to thrive in drought-prone regions.

With cumulative global sales of 500 tons and over 5,000 tons of agricultural residues upcycled into high-impact, eco-conscious products, EF Polymer is a shining example of “Made in India” innovation making waves across the globe. The company’s pioneering technology has earned praise from both the Prime Minister of India and the Prime Minister of Japan testament to its cross-border relevance and impact.

“This funding is more than a financial milestone it’s a celebration of purpose-driven progress,” said Narayan Lal Gurjar, Founder of EF Polymer. “We are deeply honored by the trust our investors have placed in us, and we remain committed to delivering sustainable solutions that uplift communities and restore ecosystems.”

Demonstration projects are already underway in drought-stricken regions of  France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. With this new capital, EF Polymer will accelerate its R&D initiatives, expand manufacturing capabilities, and deepen its presence in key global markets including Japan and the United States.

Looking beyond agriculture, EF Polymer is now preparing to extend its breakthrough technology into new verticals including thickeners for the cosmetic sector, as well as products like ice packs and absorption sheets. These innovations reflect the company’s commitment to harnessing bio-based science for everyday applications that are both sustainable and impactful.
