Cohoma Coffee has secured Rs 5 crore in seed funding led by Inflection Point Ventures, with participation from Swishin VC. The Ghaziabad-based roaster plans to deploy the capital to strengthen in‑house manufacturing capabilities and accelerate international expansion of its ready-to-brew specialty coffee range.
Fully integrated model from bean to brew
Founded by Kanika Birla and Paritosh Birla and operating under Kappa Coffee Pvt. Ltd., Cohoma follows a vertically integrated business model. The company sources green beans from India, Africa and South America, and conducts roasting, packaging and quality control within its own facilities.
Beyond consumables, Cohoma manufactures coffee equipment for commercial clients and supplies brewing accessories for home users, including French presses, AeroPresses and kettles. This end‑to‑end control allows the brand to manage product consistency and experiment with formats such as drip coffee bags, cold brew, capsules and instant blends.
Omnichannel distribution and B2B presence
Cohoma sells through multiple channels: direct online retail, premium grocery partners such as Nature’s Basket and Le Marche, and a growing B2B book of business supplying offices, hotels and cafes. The company’s machine‑building capability underpins its commercial offerings and supports on‑premise deployments.
Performance metrics and product positioning
The company reported revenue of about Rs 6.5 crore for FY25 and monthly recurring revenue near Rs 80 lakh. Cohoma cites high customer retention—more than 90% repeat purchase rate—as a core strength, reflecting loyalty to its product formats and flavours.
Product lines emphasise convenience and natural ingredients: ready‑to‑brew specialty formats, naturally flavoured coffees without added sugar or preservatives, and variants such as French Vanilla and Cinnamon Hazelnut. The fresh funding will be used to expand manufacturing capacity, refine product offerings and accelerate entry into overseas markets.
