Hangyo Ice Cream secured India's largest venture funding for an ice cream brand, raising $25 million from Faering Capital in August last year. The investment was driven by the company’s expanding scale, as it surpassed Rs 300 crore in revenue in FY24 while maintaining profitability. Hangyo’s revenue from operations grew 23.5% year-on-year to Rs 294 crore in FY24 from Rs 238 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Founded in 2003 by Pradeep Pai and Dinesh Pai, Hangyo sells cups, cones, sorbets, stick ice creams, tubs, and kulfis across general trade, modern trade, and online channels including quick commerce apps. Income from the sale of ice creams is the sole source of revenue for Hangyo in FY24. For the ice cream seller, the cost of procurement was the largest cost center forming 57% of its overall expenditure. This cost grew by 9.1% to Rs 168 crore in FY24. The employee benefits also saw a surge of 38.9% to Rs 25 crore in the previous fiscal (FY24). Its power, fuel, advertising, transportation/distribution, traveling, and other overheads drove the total expenditure up by 23.5% to Rs 294 crore in FY24 from Rs 238 crore in FY23. The decent scale and controlled costs helped Hangyo to register a 2.1X surge in its profits to Rs 11.8 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 5.6 crore in FY23. At a unit level, it spent Rs 0.95 to earn a rupee. Its ROCE and EBITDA margins improved to 28.77% and 11.86% respectively. By the end of FY24, its total current assets stood at 59 crore. Hangyo has raised a total of $30 million to date including $5 million from Capvent Partners in 2013. Over the past two years, several new-age and established ice cream brands, including Hocco, Go Zero, and NIC, have secured significant funding. Hocco raised $12 million from the Chona family and others, while NIC secured $31 million across two rounds. Mumbai-based Go Zero also raised $2.5 million through two funding rounds.
