Prior to this, the Bengaluru-based startup raised $2 million in its seed round led by Fireside Venture in November 2024. The fresh funds will be deployed to scale its manufacturing capabilities, Beyond Appliances said in a press release.

According to the company, it is witnessing strong repeat rates and consistent month-on-month growth, with its flagship kitchen appliance range continuing to be the primary revenue driver. The company claims to have doubled its revenues post its seed round in November 2024 and now aims to strengthen its core product categories while expanding into new appliance segments, supported by its upcoming manufacturing capacity. Beyond Appliances’ products are currently available via its D2C website, on Amazon and Flipkart, and through multiple retail outlets in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

Byondnxt, which operates the kitchen appliances brand Beyond Appliances, has secured additional funding from a group of new investors. Zomato, which recently acquired an 8% stake in the Bengaluru-based startup, did not participate in this latest funding round. In a stock exchange filing on Sunday, Zomato said that the fundraising was completed on November 30, and the Deepinder Goyal-led company’s shareholding in Byondnxt reduced to 6% on a fully diluted basis. In October, Zomato acquired an 8% stake in Byondnxt for about Rs 6,000. Byondnxt, founded by Eshwar Vikas, who also founded Mukunda Foods, is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand specializing in the design and manufacturing of kitchen appliances. In March 2022, Zomato invested $5 million to acquire a 16.66% stake in Mukunda Foods, a company that supplies smart kitchen equipment to business-to-business (B2B) clients. Rakesh Patil is the other co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of Beyond Appliances. This is the second funding round for a Zomato-backed company in the past three months. In September, adtech startup AdOnMo raised $25 million in a funding round led by the Singapore-based venture capital (VC) firm Rigel Capital and Indonesia-based Sinar Mas. Meanwhile, Zomato chief Goyal also incorporated a new venture named Continue, which will focus on health tracking and mental wellness. Zomato Limited recently raised Rs 8,500 crore (around $1 billion) through a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) of equity shares.
