Bengaluru-based sustainable packaging start-up, Bambrew has raised ₹90 crore in a funding round led by Ashok Goel, former Managing Director of Essel Propack along with Japanese venture capital firm Enrission India Capital.
This investment will power R&D, scale the company’s manufacturing and expand its presence in global markets including West Asia and North America.
Founded in 2019 by Vaibhav Anant, Bambrew develops planet-positive, high-performance alternatives to single-use plastics using bamboo fiber, agro-waste, seaweed, recycled paper and other natural resources. Their customer spans across key sectors including FMCG, e-commerce, personal care, and food and beverages.
Commenting on the investment, Vaibhav Anant, Founder and CEO of Bambrew, said, “With this capital, we’re investing in the science, infrastructure, and scale required to replace plastic meaningfully, not just in India, but globally. We also see strong potential in the D2C space, where consumers are actively seeking environmentally conscious alternatives.”
Bambrew currently has its own three-acre manufacturing facility in Bengaluru and also partners with manufacturing companies across India. “We currently have manufacturing capabilities for all of your e-commerce packaging. And we are expanding that manufacturing capability to cater to FMCG and other customers, such as Unilever or P&G, to cater to the products which are applicable for them,” Anant told businessline.
With current revenues at ₹10- 12 crore, the company is aiming to close FY25 with ₹18-20 crore.
In its next phase, the company is set to debut its direct-to-consumer (D2C) range, which includes everyday packaging essentials that will be available in the marketplace in the coming months. They also have plans to expand their product portfolio and tap into quick commerce and personal care segments.
