The round also saw participation from Titan Capital Winners Fund, Manish Choksi, promoter of Asian paints, existing investor Rukam Capital and Synergy Capital. Earlier in December 2022, the Mumbai-based company had raised $3 million in its Series A round led by Rukam Capital and others. Entrackr had exclusively reported the Series A round in August 2022. The proceeds will be used towards innovation and expanding production capacity; developing a strong offline sales infrastructure in key geographies, and lastly, towards brand building and enhancing brand awareness. Founded in 2019 by Aditya Ruia, Akshay Varma, and Anuj Ruia, Beco claims to be a pure eco-friendly and zero-plastic company which offers a wide range of products for home & kitchen and personal care. Its offerings include tissues, towel rolls and toiletries among others. Beco claims to have achieved an exponential 3x growth in the last year. It has a presence in 10,000 retail stores, with order values matching or exceeding those of legacy brands. In just five years, Beco has established a strong foothold in e-commerce and quick commerce platforms such as Amazon, Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and DMart Ready. It is available in general trade across 20 cities and has entered modern trade, with plans to expand to other major players by the end of this quarter.
