What happened

The company raised ₹75 crore through Non-Convertible Debentures from Trifecta Venture for working capital

Why it matters

FY25 revenue grew 14% to ₹421.33 crore while net loss narrowed slightly year-over-year

The details

  • FreshToHome raised ₹75 crore in a debt round from Trifecta Venture.
  • The funding came via 750 Non-Convertible Debentures (fixed-income securities that cannot be converted into equity) with a face value of ₹10 lakh each.
  • The company plans to use the funds for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.
  • Specific initiatives include tech upgrades and strategic business expansions.
  • This follows a $104 million Series D led by Amazon Smbhav Venture Fund earlier.
