Alienkind Raises $3.2 Million in Pre-Series A Funding Round
The company is targeting an ARR of $10 million by FY27 as it builds a larger presence in India’s growing QSR and functional beverage market.
Bengaluru-based QSR and beverage startup Alienkind has raised $3.2 million in a pre-Series A funding round from existing investors, including Prakash Sikaria, Flipkart Senior Vice President Ravi Iyer, Arpan Sheth, and other backers.
The fresh capital will be used to support the company’s expansion plans, strengthen operations, and accelerate the growth of its quick service restaurant and beverage ecosystem across India.
Founded in 2024 by Vikram Kakkireni and Abhishek Kumar, Alienkind is building a next-generation QSR and wellness beverage brand focused on fresh, functional beverages and plant-forward food offerings.
The startup aims to create an experience-led food and beverage brand for Gen Z and health-conscious urban consumers by combining immersive retail spaces, innovative products, and community-driven experiences.
Alienkind had previously raised $1.2 million in a seed funding round in April 2025 at a valuation of $10 million.
The company currently operates eight outlets across Bengaluru and Delhi and has built traction through its differentiated branding, affordable pricing, and wellness-focused menu. Its product portfolio includes preservative-free beverages, functional drinks, and signature offerings such as Starship Burgers.
Looking ahead, Alienkind plans to expand its retail footprint across major Indian cities, with an ambition to scale to 100 stores by FY28.
