Cumin Co. raises $5 Mn pre-Series A round led by Fireside Ventures Gurugram-based kitchenware startup Cumin Co. has raised $5 million (around Rs 41 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round led by Fireside Ventures. Existing investors Huddle Ventures and Alteria Capital also participated, along with several angel investors. Earlier in August last year, Cumin Co. had raised its first institutional funding of $1.5 million (about Rs 13.16 crore) led by Fireside Ventures along with participation from Huddle Ventures. The proceeds will be used to expand the product portfolio across cookware and kitchen essentials. It also plans to strengthen its supply chain, increase investments in R&D, and improve manufacturing and product innovation capabilities. Founded by Niharika Joshi and Udit Lekhi, Cumin Co. operates in the premium kitchenware segment and focuses on research-led product development. The brand sells cookware and kitchen essentials directly to consumers through online channels. Cumin Co. builds its products around proprietary material and coating technology under its Enviromax platform. It holds three granted patents and has five more pending, covering material science, surface coatings, and product design. Going ahead, Cumin Co. will continue to focus on controlled expansion, selective channel rollout, and improving unit economics as it scales its operations. It competes with other notable startups in this space such as Indus Valley and Palette Brand’s Ember. Indus Valley secured Rs 23.1 crore in a pre-Series A round led by DSG Ventures, while Palette Brands raised nearly Rs 17 crore in a pre-Series A round led by Rockstud Capital.
