Sid’s Farm Raises Over Rs 81 Crore in Pre-Series B Round
- ByStartupStory | July 30, 2026
Sid’s Farm, the Hyderabad-based dairy startup that’s been building a direct-to-consumer milk delivery business around food safety and traceability, has raised Rs 81 crore (roughly $8.5 million) in a Pre-Series B round. The money came from a mix of existing backers Omnivore and the Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office and new investors including Dodla Dairy, Next Bharat Ventures, and the Leaders for India Organisation.
The startup plans to put the fresh capital toward strengthening its supply chain, expanding manufacturing and distribution, investing in product innovation, deepening partnerships with dairy farmers, and entering new markets. In other words, it’s using the money to grow pretty much everywhere at once.
Founded in 2016 by Dr Kishore Indukuri, Sid’s Farm sells premium milk and dairy products through a subscription model that emphasizes food safety and traceability. The company says it now serves more than 50,000 families across multiple cities and operates two processing units one in Telangana’s Shabad and another in Tumkur. Its core lineup includes cow’s milk, buffalo’s milk, curd, and ghee.
What sets the company apart, at least according to its own pitch, is the network it’s built around its farmer partnerships. Sid’s Farm works with around 5,000 dairy farmers, supporting them through education programmes, fair procurement practices, timely payments, and veterinary services. On the quality side, every batch of milk is tested across more than 45 parameters, with over 10,000 tests conducted daily as part of its quality-control process.
This round comes almost two years after Sid’s Farm raised $10 million in a Series A, which it used to expand into cities like Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Financially, the company’s operating revenue grew 33.6% to Rs 167.58 crore in FY25, up from Rs 125.41 crore the previous year.
Sid’s Farm operates in India’s organised dairy segment, competing with players like Country Delight, Akshayakalpa Organic, Heritage Foods, and Dodla Dairy which, interestingly, is also among the new investors in this round. The broader Indian dairy market was valued at around $32 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $45 billion by 2031, based on market research estimates cited in reporting on the round.
The Pre-Series B comes at a time when several D2C dairy and dairy-adjacent brands in India have been raising fresh capital to scale supply chain and distribution infrastructure, reflecting continued investor interest in the organised dairy space.
