Otipy, a farm-to-fork company, has raised $2 million in venture debt from Nuvama Asset Management Limited. This raise comes ahead of its $10 million equity round as reported by Entrackr earlier. Otipy will use these funds for general corporate purposes. Otipy operates a farm-to-fork delivery model by procuring directly from farmers and delivering fresh produce to consumers every morning. Currently, it operates in Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, with plans to launch in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai. The Varun Khurana-led company has raised $46 million to date, including its $32 million Series B round led by Westbridge Capital in 2022. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, SIG Global is the largest external stakeholder in the firm, followed by WestBridge Capital. Recently, Otipy introduced electric carts in Gurugram as part of a pilot project to sell fruits and vegetables offline. The firm plans to organize the pushcarts through a franchise model and expand its services to other cities, including Mumbai. For the fiscal year ending in March 2024 (FY24), Otipy claims to register Rs 175 crore in topline.
