Otipy, operated by Crofarm Agriproducts Private Limited, raised roughly $32M in a March 2022 Series B atop a prior Series A, then shut down operations on 17 May 2025 after failing to close a further $10M round, laying off about 300 staff amid unpaid vendor bills and unrefunded customer wallet balances.
