Bengaluru-based smart kitchen startup Beyond Appliances has raised INR 16.8 Cr (around $ 2 Mn) in a seed funding round led by Fireside Venture Investment Fund III. 

The round also saw participation from Dharana Capital, along with a host of angel investors, including Design Cafe’s founder Shezan Bhojani, Livspace cofounders Saurabh Jain and Ramakant Sharma as well as former chief executive of TTK Prestige Chandu Kalro.

The company plans to use the fresh funding for scaling up its tech and manufacturing stacks.

Dexter Capital was the exclusive advisor to the company on this investment.

Founded in 2024 by Eshwar K Vikas and Rakesh Patil, Beyond Appliances combines advanced technology with practical functionality to transform kitchens into smart kitchens.

“With our technology-first approach and deep understanding of kitchen dynamics, we aim to reimagine how people interact with their kitchens. Having already revolutionised commercial kitchens through Mukunda Foods, we understand the profound impact that thoughtful innovation can bring to everyday cooking. With this funding, we are positioned to accelerate our R&D efforts and expand our manufacturing capabilities, bringing more groundbreaking products to Indian households,” said Vikas.

The products are currently available through major ecommerce platforms, including Amazon and Flipkart, as well as retail stores across Bengaluru.

This funding comes at a time when India’s kitchen appliance industry is undergoing a shift towards smart and connected devices. Some smart kitchen startups are cloud kitchens, which are commercial kitchens that prepare food for delivery and takeout only.

On the back of the growth of foodtech platforms like Zomato and Swiggy, a number of cloud kitchen startups have emerged in the country over the last few years. The size of the cloud kitchen market is expected to cross the $3 Bn mark by FY31.

Earlier this month, cloud kitchen startup Biryani By Kilo raised about $2 Mn from Dubai-based investment firm Pulsar Capital.

In February, cloud kitchen startup Ghost Kitchens India raised $5 Mn as a part of its Series A funding round led by GVFL, along with participation from NB Ventures, LetsVenture and Lead Angels.
