Subtle participation also came from notable investors Aman Gupta (through Shark Tank India) and Namita Thapar (outside the tank). With this round, Go Zero has raised a total of $6 million to date. Earlier in June 2024, Go Zero raised $1.5 million in its follow-on pre-Series A funding round from DSG Consumer Partners, Saama, and V3 Ventures. The proceeds will be used to fuel supply chain expansion, innovation in product offerings, and brand growth as Go Zero continues its expansion on quick-commerce platforms in tier I and tier II markets. Founded by Kiran Shah, Go Zero has a diversified product portfolio featuring low-calorie, high-protein, and vegan ice creams. The startup claims that all its products are sweetened with plant-based sweeteners, which are low in calories. Since its inception in July 2022, Go Zero claims to have offer 100% sugar-free products with 50% fewer calories than traditional ice creams. The brand has achieved 5X revenue growth in its second year and 3X in the third. Despite January being the off-season for ice cream sales, Go Zero recorded its highest-ever sales in January 2025, crossing Rs 5 crore in revenue. With a strong presence across Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, Go Zero is also set to launch new guilt-free formats, including kulfi sticks and cassata. The firm currently operates two manufacturing units in Mumbai and Bangalore. Go Zero competes with Hangyo Ice Cream, Hocco, and NIC. In 2023, NIC raised $11 million in a funding round led by Jungle Ventures, while Hocco also secured $12 million from the Chona family and other investors. Meanwhile, Hangyo Ice Cream secured India's largest venture funding for an ice cream brand, raising $25 million from Faering Capital in August last year.
