Proost Beer crosses Rs 100 Cr revenue in FY25, achieves EBITDA breakeven Proost, a homegrown beer startup, has recorded strong growth in FY25 with its revenue surging by 2.7X. Alongside the rapid revenue expansion, the company also claimed to have achieved EBITDA breakeven during the fiscal year, according to the company’s press release. The company’s revenue from operations increased by 174% to Rs 115 crore in FY25 from Rs 42 crore in FY24. According to the company, the growth was led by a steep rise in sales volume, which increased from 2.5 lakh cases in FY24 to 8 lakh cases in FY25. “Growing from around Rs 42 crore in FY24 to Rs 115 crore in FY25 and turning EBITDA breakeven is a validating moment for the team… it proves a beer brand in India can be built sustainably and capital efficiently,” said Tarun Bhargava, CEO and co-founder of Proost. The company has achieved EBITDA breakeven, which was largely driven by sharper cost discipline. A major lever was keeping marketing and brand spends under 2% of revenue, while maintaining a lean organisational structure to control people costs. According to TheKredible, Proost has raised $8 million of funding till date, having Dauble Pte, UMJD Family, Dev Punj, and Manshi Parashar as its lead investors. Proost’s capital-efficient growth comes as some early players in the craft beer segment reassess their strategies. Bira 91, once a leading homegrown beer brand, has scaled back its operations over the past year following regulatory disruptions that impacted sales across multiple states. The company also deferred its IPO plans amid pressure on financials. Along with this, it competes with Maka Di, Arbor Brewing Company, Kati Patang, Witlinger, Simba, et al.
