Chennai-based South Indian food brand Sweet Karam Coffee (SKC) has raised $8 million in its Series A funding round, led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from existing investor Fireside Ventures, which increased its stake.
This investment comes nearly two years after SKC secured $1.5 million from Fireside Ventures.
The fresh funds will be utilized to expand distribution, introduce new products, and enhance its supply chain through technology integration.
Founded in 2015, SKC is known for its traditional South Indian sweets, snacks, and filter coffee, made without palm oil, preservatives, or maida.
The brand also offers condiments and ghee, selling through its website, e-commerce platforms, and quick commerce channels.

In a strategic move to strengthen execution, SKC has appointed Nandhitha Indermohan, formerly with Unilever, as its Chief Operating Officer.
