Cohoma Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster and machine manufacturer, has raised ₹5 crore in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV) and Swishin VC. The funds will be deployed to accelerate international expansion and scale up manufacturing capabilities.
Integrated model drives differentiation
Cohoma Coffee offers one of India’s widest ranges of home-brewing specialty coffee products, all designed to be prepared in under a minute without the need for specialised equipment.
Built on a fully integrated model, the company manages the entire coffee experience in-house, from sourcing beans directly from India, Africa, and South America to roasting and manufacturing its own brewing machines. This enables access to a diverse and differentiated range of coffees, including rare naturally infused varieties.

Their equipment-free brewing range and naturally flavoured coffees address a clear consumer need for convenience without compromising quality.”
Omnichannel presence and category play
The brand has introduced naturally flavoured coffees made without added sugar or preservatives, along with grind-on-demand café kiosks in premium modern trade stores, where customers can explore over 15 coffee options with live assistance to find their ideal brew.
Cohoma is a category leader across key retail chains such as Nature’s Basket and Le Marche. The company has built a strong omnichannel presence across retail, e-commerce, and partnerships with hotels, corporate offices, cafes, and multiplexes, providing turnkey coffee solutions for the hospitality sector and ensuring quality coffee is always within reach.
