Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, India’s leading homegrown specialty coffee brand, has secured $25 million in bridge funding to power its next phase of growth. The capital will be used to scale its retail footprint with new stores across India, invest in advanced roasteries and bakeries in Bangalore and Gurgaon, and drive international expansion into key markets including Japan and Dubai.
The round was backed by existing investors A91 Partners, Anicut, Verlinvest, and 12 Flags—signalling sustained confidence in the company’s vision and performance.
Matt Chitharanjan, Co-founder & CEO, Blue Tokai, said, “We believe in not just building a brand but creating a legacy that elevates India’s coffee culture on the world stage. This new round of funding is a testament to our vision of making India a true coffee destination worldwide.”
Shivam Shai, Co-founder & COO, Blue Tokai, added, “We are on track for our initial plan of Rs. 1,000 crore in revenue and Rs. 100 crore EBITDA by 2027, but with recent market response, we have revised our plans to accelerate growth—targeting 800+ stores and Rs. 2,000 crore revenue in the next four years. Our expansion will also deepen our presence in UAE and Japan.”
With this milestone, Blue Tokai strengthens its ambition of positioning Indian coffee on the global map while staying committed to quality, innovation, and sustainability.
