Cohoma Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster and machine manufacturer, raised ₹5 Crore in seed round from Inflection Point Ventures and Swishin VC. The fund will be deployed to accelerate international expansion and scale up the manufacturing capabilities.
Cohoma Coffee offers a wide range of home-brewing specialty coffee products, all designed to be prepared in under a minute without the need for specialised equipment. It manages the entire coffee experience in-house by sourcing beans directly from across India, Africa, and South America, enabling access to a diverse range of coffees, and manufacturing its own brewing machines.
Vinay Bansal, Founder & CEO of IPV, said, “Cohoma Coffee has built a differentiated brand in India’s fast‑growing specialty coffee market by managing the entire experience end‑to‑end sourcing, roasting to machine manufacturing. Their equipment‑free brewing range and naturally flavored coffees address a clear consumer need for convenience without compromising quality. With a strong repeat customer base and expanding footprint, we are excited to back Cohoma as they scale internationally and continue to redefine coffee experiences for Indian consumers.”
Founded by Paritosh and Kanika Birla, the brand has launched grind-on-demand café kiosks in premium modern trade stores and is also available across key retail chains, including Nature’s Basket and Le Marche. It has built a strong omnichannel presence across retail, e-commerce, and partnerships with hotels, corporate offices, cafés, multiplexes and provides turnkey coffee solutions for the hospitality sector.
Kanika Birla, founder, Cohoma Coffee, said: “This investment will allow us to further enhance our manufacturing capabilities and expand our international presence, while continuing to focus on delivering the perfect end-cup experience for our customers across India and beyond”.
The Indian coffee market is valued at over $2 billion and growing at 12-14 per cent. The roasted coffee market is expected to become the market’s largest segment by 2030.
