Smart kitchen brand Beyond Appliances has raised Rs 110 crore ($10.4 Mn) in a Series B funding round led by Fireside Ventures, with participation from Dharana Capital and several other undisclosed investors.
The Bengaluru-based startup plans to use the fresh capital to set up a new manufacturing plant and expand into new product segments. Founder Eshwar K Vikas told Inc42 that Beyond Appliances plans to launch its ovens within the next 9-12 months.
On the manufacturing front, Vikas said the startup is looking to establish a new facility in South or West India. Beyond Appliances currently operates two manufacturing facilities in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru and manufactures about 90% of its products in-house.
Founded in August 2024 by Vikas and Rakesh Patil, Beyond Appliances is developing connected kitchen appliances such as smart chimneys and smart hobs. Its flagship product is an Android-powered chimney equipped with a display that functions as a domestic kitchen management system.
The chimney allows users to access OTT and music applications, set cooking reminders and manage grocery lists through integrations with Zepto and Blinkit. It also features Chef Verse, an app offering curated recipes from chefs, along with 3D suction technology.
The startup recently introduced the Cube Chimney, which is designed for compact kitchens and rental homes.
Beyond Appliances follows an omnichannel sales strategy, with 60% of its products sold online and the remainder offline. The startup claims to have a retail presence across 20 select stores in Bengaluru. Its customer base of around 1,200 users spans Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Delhi NCR.
“We are currently scaling our offline presence very fast. We have about 300-400 touchpoints for customers across GT (general trade) and AT (alternate trade), and exclusive outlets as well,” Vikas said.
The company is looking to increase its customer touchpoints to at least 1,500-2,000, having signed up with some large-format retailers. On the exclusive outlet front, Beyond Appliances currently operates 3 stores, with a pipeline of 15-20 stores.
On the financial front, Vikas told Inc42 that Beyond Appliances recorded net revenue of Rs 40 crore in FY26. He did not disclose the company’s bottom line performance.
The latest funding round comes a year after Beyond Appliances raised $4 Mn in its Series A round, which was also led by Fireside Ventures, with participation from Dharana Capital.
Beyond Appliances’ fundraise comes as more Indian startups expand in the home appliance market, driven by consumers spending more on interiors and devices to complement them.
Consumer tech startups such as Karban, Fanzart, Magnific, XSCACE, NUOS, Noctics Labs and Glazonoid are developing products ranging from designer fans and integrated air purifiers to in-wall speakers, smart switches and home automation systems.
These startups are combining aesthetics with functionality rather than relying on design alone to justify premium pricing. Karban, for instance, combines air purification, circulation and lighting in ceiling-mounted products, while NUOS integrates automation into premium switch panels.
The category is also creating a new distribution channel through architects and interior designers, who can specify products before construction or renovation begins. Around 40% of NUOS’ home automation sales and 20% of Karban’s sales come through these channels.
As the segment attracts increasing consumer interest, investors are also looking to benefit from the growth.
Nester raised Rs 19 crore in a pre-Series A round in February 2026. The startup is targeting the broader home appliance market with products including steam air fryer ovens, toasters and juicers.
Similarly, cooling solutions startup Optimist is developing air conditioners designed for Indian conditions. The startup was reported to be in talks to raise about $10 Mn from TDK Ventures.
