Basil Health raised $1.5M in a pre-Series A funding round.
The round was led by Whiteboard Capital and Brigade REAP.
Barbershop Fund participated in the round.
Angel investors Deep Bajaj and Siddharth Kothari also invested.
The company will use the funds to expand to new cities and strengthen its supply chain.
It also plans to invest in brand building and team growth.
Basil Health aims to reach 1,000 touchpoints in three years.

India's fresh beverage segment is fragmented and lacks a scaled national brand.
Global examples like Jamba Juice, HeyTea, and Mixue show the potential for such chains.
Joe & The Juice has entered India, signaling market interest.
Urban consumers are shifting from packaged sugary drinks to matcha lattes, protein smoothies, and cold-pressed juices.
The company shows early signs of product-market fit and growing enterprise demand.

Basil Health operates fresh beverage retail through compact kiosks and automated beverage machines.
Its kiosks are 50 sq. ft., and its automated machines are 8 sq. ft..
Machines are placed in offices, hospitals, universities, and malls.
The menu includes juices, shakes, smoothies, and protein drinks, with about 70% beverages.
It also offers healthier food options with hung-curd dressings.
The company uses in-house IoT-enabled systems that blend fresh ingredients in the cup.
These systems enable real-time monitoring and operational control.
Basil Health currently has over 70 kiosks and machines across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Chandigarh.
