The round saw participation from multiple angel investors and operators, including Param Kandhari, Naresh Krishnaswamy, Abhinav Mathur, Hemanshu Jain, Vinay Bhopatkar, Vaibhav Sisinty, Dalvir Suri, and Rishit Jhunjhunwala. Shaili Chopra also participated via Ideabaaz. In April 2025, Drickle had earlier raised Rs 5.3 crore with an additional Rs 50 lakh coming in as an extension of the round via Ideabaaz. The fresh capital will be used to expand Drickle’s outlet network in Bengaluru, strengthen backend manufacturing, build leadership and operations teams, and invest in marketing and brand building. Founded by Rahul Nijhawann and Vardhman Jain, Drickle operates seven compact-format outlets across Bengaluru. Each outlet spans 150–200 sq ft and is clustered within micromarkets to drive high-frequency consumption. The brand operates in the Rs 100–150 price range. Drickle follows a coffee-first model, offering fresh-brewed flavoured coffees, while also selling matcha, boba, and Thai tea beverages. The brand runs an owned backend manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, producing coffee brewing solutions and key ingredients in-house. This allows Drickle to operate asset-light outlets without espresso machines and maintain tighter control over margins and supply chain.

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.
