This infusion will allow Corvi LED to expand into new geographies, diversify its product portfolio, and refine its technological capabilities, the company said in a press release. Corvi LED will also strengthen its market presence in B2C and B2B segments and is set to introduce a range of new LED products that meet the modern demand. Founded in 2012 by Vimal Soni, Corvi offers a portfolio of more than 100 products spanning across 7 categories like bulbs, tubes, flat, surface and others.

The company claims to hold over 100 patents and registrations and has exported to 24 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia. In 2017, Hero Enterprise had invested $10 million for a significant stake in Corvi LED Light.

The brand has raised a total of $22 million in funding to date, including the current round. In January 2022, the startup raised $6.7 million in its Series A round, led by Mankind Pharma, along with existing investor Sixth Sense Ventures. The new funds will be used to scale up manufacturing capabilities by expanding existing factories and constructing a new production facility. The company also plans to strengthen its Amazon Global Selling strategy to drive growth in international markets and expand further into the United States and Canada in 2025. Founded in 2015 by husband-wife duo Bhupendra Khanal and Sneh Sharma, Dogsee Chew now has a presence in more than 30 countries. The startup claims to offer 100 percent vegetarian dog treats that are all-natural, human-grade, and protein-rich. "With the premiumization of the pet food category on the rise, the demand for our human-grade chews is exploding. This investment ensures we are well-prepared to meet this demand by scaling production and expanding our presence globally.

According to data intelligence platform TheKredible, Dogsee Chew’s revenue in FY24 stood at Rs 53.76 crore, compared to Rs 98 crore in FY23.
