Polka Pop raises pre-Seed funding to target monthly sales of 1 lakh bottles
Polka Pop, India’s leading flavored sparkling water brand, has secured pre-Seed funding from a group of prominent angel investors, with plans to increase its monthly sales volume to over 1 lakh bottles per month. The funding round was led by Atishe Chordia, founder of Doodleblue Innovations, and included Parasar Sarma, a former growth leader at Wakefit, Senthil Natarajan, managing partner at Kovai Pazhamudir, Shikha Gupta, managing director of Life Fitness India, and others.
Polka Pop is known for its clean and healthy fizzy drinks that combine taste and health, offering a unique value proposition in India’s crowded beverage market. The startup is currently selling over 40,000 bottles per month and is present across quick commerce platforms like Swiggy, Zepto, and BlinkIt.
With the new funding, the company plans to expand its reach to hotel chains, bars, restaurants, and office spaces, as well as establish a retail footprint across all major metro cities in India. Polka Pop is also in talks with several funds for a follow-on seed round that will be used to build out existing channels.
“The shift towards leading a healthier and better life is constant. We have seen some of the largest brands in the world built on this. However, the current Indian beverage shelf, including ‘diet’ drinks, comes with long-term health concerns. At Polka Pop, we are working on building a clean beverage brand where taste & health go hand-in-hand,” said Gaurav Khemka, founder and CEO of Polka Pop.
“The rapid growth and widespread acceptance of Polka Pop in the market is impressive. As a homegrown category pioneer in the competitive D2C beverage segment, offering a clean and healthy fizzy drink, Polka Pop has a unique and promising position that is sure to lead to further expansion. I am delighted to take part in this round of funding and to support the company’s mission,” said Parasar Sarma, one of the angel investors.
