The proceeds will be utilized to establish over 150 of its stores across India by FY26, strengthen the brand’s digital platforms, invest in supply chain optimization and talent acquisition, and experiment with new store formats. Co-founded in 2017 by Ankesh Jain, Anand Jain, Akshay Kedia, and Shubham Bhandari, NBC offers a wide range of beverages, including coffee, shakes, and other specialty drinks, with over 100 items on the menu. The brand aims to be a beacon of inclusivity and a locally priced coffee hub, providing affordable, high-quality coffee to customers. “With strong unit economics and consistent consumer love, we are now well-positioned to scale rapidly. The capital will help us deepen our presence, invest in technology and talent, and unlock the next phase of growth as we work towards becoming India’s most loved and accessible coffee chain,” said Ankesh Jain, Co-founder, Nothing Before Coffee.
