How Will Sid’s Farm Use Its Fresh ₹81 Crore Funding?
Hyderabad-based dairy startup Sid’s Farm has raised over ₹81 crore ($8.4 million) in a pre-Series B funding round led by Omnivore, Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office (NSFO), Dodla Dairy, Next Bharat Ventures, and LIO, along with participation from a consortium of other investors.
The fresh capital will help the direct-to-consumer (D2C) dairy brand strengthen its supply chain, expand manufacturing capacity, enhance product innovation, and enter new markets as it scales operations across India.
The latest round comes just over a year after the company secured $10 million in Series A funding, underscoring growing investor confidence in India’s premium dairy and fresh food segment.

Sid’s Farm has steadily attracted investor interest over the past few years.
Its funding journey includes:

- June 2024: Secured $10 million in a Series A round co-led by Omnivore and NSFO.
- 2026: Raised over ₹81 crore ($8.4 million) in its latest pre-Series B round.
The continued participation of existing investors alongside new strategic backers highlights confidence in the company’s growth strategy and business model.
Capital to Strengthen Operations and Expand Reach
Sid’s Farm plans to deploy the newly raised funds across several strategic initiatives.
The company will use the investment to:
- Strengthen its dairy supply chain

These initiatives are expected to support the company’s next phase of growth while improving product availability across additional cities.
Building a Premium Dairy Brand
Founded in 2016 by Dr. Kishore Indukuri, Sid’s Farm operates a direct-to-consumer dairy business offering fresh milk and a range of dairy-based food products.
The company differentiates itself through a strong focus on product quality and safety.
According to the company:
- Every batch of milk undergoes testing across more than 45 quality and safety parameters.
- It conducts over 10,000 quality tests every day to maintain product consistency and consumer trust.
This emphasis on quality has helped the brand build a loyal customer base in the premium dairy segment.
Supporting More Than 5,000 Dairy Farmers
Sid’s Farm works directly with over 5,000 dairy farmers, providing support through:
- Fair procurement practices
- Veterinary healthcare services
- Farmer education and training programmes
The company says these initiatives help improve milk quality while ensuring sustainable income opportunities for farmers.
Its farmer-first approach has become a key pillar of its supply chain strategy.
Serving Over 50,000 Families
Sid’s Farm currently serves more than 50,000 families across multiple cities through its direct-to-consumer distribution network.
With the fresh funding, the company aims to expand into new regions and increase access to its dairy products, strengthening its position in India’s organised fresh dairy market.
The growing consumer preference for high-quality, traceable, and fresh dairy products continues to create opportunities for premium dairy brands across the country.
Competing in a Fast-Growing Dairy Market
Sid’s Farm operates in an increasingly competitive premium dairy segment alongside players such as:
- Country Delight
- Akshayakalpa Organic
As demand for fresh, high-quality dairy products continues to grow, companies are investing heavily in supply chain infrastructure, technology, and farmer partnerships to differentiate themselves.
Sid’s Farm’s latest fundraising is expected to strengthen its competitive position as it scales operations and expands its footprint.
What’s Next?
The latest ₹81 crore pre-Series B funding round provides Sid’s Farm with fresh capital to accelerate its expansion strategy. By investing in supply chain infrastructure, manufacturing, product innovation, and farmer partnerships, the company aims to strengthen its presence in India’s premium dairy market. As it enters new cities and scales production, investors will closely watch its ability to grow sustainably while maintaining the quality standards that have become central to its brand.
