Restaurant India News: Blue Tokai Secures $25 Million in Growth Capital to Accelerate Indian and International Expansion

Blue Tokai, India’s leading homegrown coffee brand, has raised $25 million in bridge funding to fuel its next phase of growth. The capital will drive retail expansion with new stores across India, upgrade infrastructure with advanced roasteries and bakeries in Bangalore and Gurgaon, and support international forays into markets like Japan and Dubai—bringing premium Indian coffee to a global stage.

Backed by existing investors including A91 Partners, Anicut, Verlinvest, and 12 Flags, this reaffirms their confidence in Blue Tokai’s growth trajectory and long-term vision. With a rapidly expanding retail presence and global ambitions, Blue Tokai continues to elevate India’s coffee reputation worldwide.

Matt, Co-founder & CEO, stated, “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. Our journey forward is about inspiring a cultural shift, fostering sustainability, and creating opportunities for millions of coffee lovers and entrepreneurs.”

“This strategic investment will enable us to expand rapidly across India and internationally. We are committed to quality, innovation, and sustainability as we build a truly global coffee brand that celebrates Indian excellence. We are on track for our initial plan of ₹1000 crore in revenue and ₹100 crore EBITDA by 2027, but with recent market response, we have revised our plans to accelerate growth and have started thinking about 800 + stores and 2000 cr revenue in next four years. In addition to this we are also putting effort to grow our business in UAE and Japan,” added Shivam, Co-Founder & COO.
