Gramiyaa, a vertically integrated cold-pressed oil brand, has secured ₹7.2 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by Homegrown Ventures, Campus Fund, and Mumbai Angels.

The funding aims to enhance the company’s production capabilities, strengthen distribution channels, and bolster brand awareness.

Founded by third-generation oil maker Sibi Manivannan, Gramiyaa is known for its high-quality wood cold-pressed oils. The company operates its own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, ensuring consistency, hygiene, and process integrity.

Gramiyaa's products are available through direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels, key retail outlets, and major e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms.

Scaling Up Production and Distribution

With this fresh investment, Gramiyaa plans to expand its production capacity to 4 lakh litres per month. The startup is also focusing on improving its sourcing capabilities and optimizing manufacturing processes to maintain high-quality standards at scale.

Additionally, the funding will help Gramiyaa strengthen its distribution networks across its D2C platform, offline retail, and quick-commerce, which has emerged as its fastest-growing sales driver.

Gramiyaa has set an ambitious target of achieving ₹36 crore in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by March 2025. The company aims to solidify its position as a leading player in India's expanding cold-pressed oil market.

Investor Confidence in the Cold-Pressed Oil Market

"The cold-pressed oil category in India is no longer a niche; it's evolving into a robust market driven by consumer demand," said Nader Amiri, General Partner at Homegrown Ventures.
"Gramiyaa isn’t just riding this wave; they're shaping it by setting new benchmarks in quality and transparency. Reinvesting in them was an easy decision given their exceptional team and remarkable progress."

The fresh capital will not only drive operational growth but also support Gramiyaa’s efforts to build greater brand awareness, reinforcing its position in the healthy cooking oils segment.
