Overview

Dvara E-Dairy Solutions is a livestock insurance technology platform serving small and marginal dairy farmers, insurers, and financial institutions in India. The company operates within India's dairy sector, digitizing cattle insurance claims, livestock financing, and herd management for rural smallholder farmers who have historically lacked access to formal financial services.

The company's core technology is Surabhi ID, an AI-driven muzzle biometric system that creates a tamper-proof digital identity for individual cattle. This enables insurers to verify livestock claims accurately and reduces fraud, while allowing banks and NBFCs to extend cattle loans with greater confidence. The broader Surabhi Platform integrates insurance, lending, health monitoring, and a marketplace for dairy supplies into a single solution for the dairy value chain.

Founded in 2019 and based in Chennai, Dvara E-Dairy raised USD 2M in a pre-Series A round in June 2022 from Axilor Ventures and Stride Ventures, with participation from Accion Ventures. Insurance partners include IFFCO Tokio, HDFC Ergo, Bajaj General Insurance, and United India Insurance.
