Sid's Farm, one of India’s fastest-growing D2C dairy brands, announced today that it has raised $10 million in Series A funding. The round was co-led by Omnivore and Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office (NSFO). Sid's Farm plans to use the funds to establish a strong presence in Hyderabad and Bengaluru by enhancing manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing demand for high-quality dairy products and building a robust team to attract and retain top talent across various functions.

Founded in 2016, Sid’s Farm is a popular mass premium Hyderabad-based dairy brand, serving more than 25,000+ customers across two cities. The startup controls the entire value chain of milk and milk products by sourcing directly from farmers and conducting rigorous quality testing throughout the supply chain to ensure nutrient-dense, additive-free milk.

Founder Dr Kishore Indukuri is an IIT Kharagpur alumnus and went on to complete his post-graduation and doctorate in material sciences from the University of Massachusetts. Before Sid’s Farm, Kishore worked with Intel Corporation for close to 7 years before returning to India to try his hands at agriculture. Sid’s Farm started its operations with whole buffalo and cow milk and gradually diversified into curd, paneer, ghee, butter, dairy beverages, and dairy-based desserts.

Reihem Roy, Partner at Omnivore, observed, “According to IMARC Group reports, the dairy industry in India reached a size of ₹16,792 Bn in 2023 and is expected to reach ₹49,953 Bn by 2032. Premium dairy brands and products over D2C platforms are expected to lead this growth. We see Sid’s Farm emerging as a key player in this space with its commitment to antibiotic-free, hormone-free, preservative-free milk and milk products.”

Narayanan Venkitraman of NSFO, commented, “We have been following the great work being done by Sid’s Farm over the years and found the time opportune to invest in them and work with them to help propel them to the next orbit. We strongly believe that ventures such as Sid’s Farm with honest solutions to genuine concerns will drive consumption habits in the times to come.”

Dr. Kishore Indukuri, Founder of Sid's Farm, said, "We are thrilled to have this immense support from Omnivore and Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office. Their belief in our vision and commitment to providing consumers with great quality adulterant-free milk and dairy products is a tremendous validation of our efforts. This investment will be instrumental in accelerating our growth trajectory and enabling us to provide fresh, healthy, and responsibly sourced food to a wider audience in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. We strongly believe that there is an opportunity to serve over 1,00,000 families every day in these two markets alone”.
