Specialty coffee brand Cohoma Coffee has raised Rs 5 crore in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures along with Swishin VC, as it looks to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and accelerate global expansion.

The company plans to utilise the fresh capital to scale production and expand its presence in international markets. Positioned in India’s growing specialty coffee segment, Cohoma has built a fully integrated model that controls the entire coffee journey, from sourcing beans to manufacturing brewing machines.

Cohoma Coffee offers one of the widest ranges of equipment-free specialty coffee products in India. Its portfolio is designed for convenience, allowing consumers to prepare coffee in under a minute without requiring specialised tools. The brand also claims to offer the country’s only naturally flavoured brews made without added sugar or preservatives.

The company sources coffee beans from regions across India, Africa, and South America, enabling a diverse range of blends, including rare naturally infused varieties. Alongside roasting, it also manufactures its own super-automatic machines catering to hospitality and corporate clients.

Commenting on the investment, Vinay Bansal, Founder and CEO at Inflection Point Ventures, said the brand has created a distinct position in India’s specialty coffee market by owning the entire value chain. He highlighted the company’s focus on convenience-led innovation and its growing repeat customer base as key strengths supporting its expansion plans.

Cohoma has also introduced grind-on-demand café kiosks in premium retail locations, offering customers over 15 coffee options with guided assistance to find their preferred brew. Its omnichannel strategy spans retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and partnerships with hotels, corporate offices, cafés, and multiplexes.

The brand provides turnkey coffee solutions for the hospitality sector, ensuring consistent quality across formats. According to the company, this focus on experience and reliability has helped it achieve a repeat customer rate of over 90 percent.

Kanika Birla, Founder of Cohoma Coffee, said the company’s aim has been to make specialty coffee more accessible without the usual complexity. She added that the new funding will help strengthen manufacturing capabilities while expanding globally, as the brand continues to focus on delivering a high-quality coffee experience across different consumption occasions.
