Delhi-based Cohoma Coffee has raised ₹5 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures and Swishin VC. The funds will be utilised to scale up manufacturing capabilities and accelerate the company’s international expansion, as it looks to strengthen its footprint in the fast-growing specialty coffee market.
Cohoma Coffee operates as a fully integrated specialty coffee roaster and machine manufacturer, offering a wide range of products designed to simplify coffee consumption across homes, hospitality, and on-the-go segments. The company claims to provide one of India’s widest ranges of equipment-free specialty coffee options, including naturally flavoured brews with no added sugar or preservatives, all prepared in under a minute.
Expanding Specialty Coffee with an Integrated Model
Built on an end-to-end model, Cohoma manages everything from sourcing beans across India, Africa, and South America to roasting and manufacturing its own brewing machines. It also produces super automatic machines for hospitality and corporate clients, positioning itself across both B2C and B2B segments.
The brand has introduced innovations such as grind-on-demand café kiosks in premium retail outlets, allowing consumers to explore multiple coffee options with guided assistance. It is already present across leading retail chains, including Nature’s Basket and Le Marche, and has built a strong omnichannel presence spanning e-commerce, retail, and hospitality partnerships.
Strong Market Position and Growth Strategy
Cohoma is targeting growth through a three-tier strategy covering B2B, retail, and direct-to-consumer channels. This approach aims to deliver a seamless coffee experience across offices, airports, malls, and households. The company reports a customer repeat rate of over 90 percent, reflecting strong product acceptance.
The Indian coffee market, currently valued at over $2 billion, is growing at 12 to 14 percent annually, driven by evolving consumer preferences, particularly among younger demographics shifting from tea to coffee.
