Sweet Karam Coffee to Raise Rs 30 Crore in Series A Extension
Sweet Karam Coffee, a prominent South Indian food brand, is planning to secure Rs 30 crore ($3.31 million) in its Series A extension round from its current investors, Peak XV Partners and Fireside Ventures. The board of Sweet Karam Coffee has resolved to approve the issuance of 19,221 Series A1 compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS) at an issue price of Rs 15,609 per share to achieve this funding, as indicated in a filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
Investment Details and Valuation
Peak XV Partners will spearhead the funding round with an investment of Rs 20 crore, while Fireside Ventures will contribute Rs 10 crore, thereby raising the total amount to Rs 30 crore for this phase. According to estimates from Startup Superb, the company’s valuation is projected to grow by 85% to reach Rs 580 crore (approximately $64 million) post-money, up from Rs 313 crore (around $36.7 million) during its previous $8 million round. Given that both investors are already affiliated with the company, there may be possibilities of further capital injection in the near future.
Use of Funds
The filing highlights that the funds acquired from this round will be directed towards expanding the company’s operational footprint.
