Drickle Secures Rs 6 Crore Funding for Expansion

Bengaluru-based coffee-first beverage QSR brand Drickle, previously known as BONOMI, has successfully raised close to Rs 6 crore in seed funding through equity. This funding round included contributions from a variety of angel investors and operators such as Param Kandhari, Naresh Krishnaswamy, Abhinav Mathur, Hemanshu Jain, Vinay Bhopatkar, Vaibhav Sisinty, Dalvir Suri, and Rishit Jhunjhunwala. Additionally, Shaili Chopra participated through Ideabaaz. In April 2025, Drickle had previously secured Rs 5.3 crore along with an extra Rs 50 lakh as an extension of that round via Ideabaaz.

Utilization of Funds for Expansion

The newly acquired capital will be directed towards enhancing Drickle’s outlet network within Bengaluru. In addition, it will strengthen backend manufacturing processes, develop leadership and operations teams, and focus on marketing and brand promotion.

About Drickle

Founded by Rahul Nijhawann and Vardhman Jain, Drickle operates seven compact-format outlets spanning 150–200 sq ft in Bengaluru. These outlets are strategically clustered within micromarkets to encourage frequent consumption. The pricing for the brand’s offerings ranges from Rs 100 to Rs 150.

Innovative Beverage Offerings

Drickle follows a coffee-first model, providing fresh-brewed flavoured coffees along with a selection of matcha, boba, and Thai tea beverages. The brand also has its own backend manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, which produces coffee brewing solutions and essential ingredients in-house. This strategy allows Drickle to maintain an asset-light outlet model, eliminating the need for espresso machines and enabling tighter control over margins and the supply chain.
