Founded in 2021, Aria uses drones and IoT devices to increase efficiency and productivity of farmers and large-scale plantations. It counts prominent companies such as Triputra Group, Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) Sinar Mas, and Bayer as its clients.
The company was established by William Sjaichudin, Arden Lim, and Yosa Rosario. Sjaichudin and Lim also founded a legal tech startup called Hakita in 2020.
Aria plans to use the fresh funding to establish distribution points across the country, buy more drones, and expand its client network.
