Millet-based snack brand Troo Good has raised Rs 72 crore (approximately $8.6 million) in its latest funding round, spearheaded by current investor Oaks Asset Management. The round also saw participation from Puro Wellness and V Ocean Investments.
Founded in 2018 by Raju Bhupati and headquartered in Hyderabad, Troo Good is known for its millet-based snacks, including chikkis, protein bars, and nutri bars. The company has achieved remarkable traction, selling over 2 million millet snacks daily.
In FY23, Troo Good reported 7% revenue growth, reaching Rs 52.7 crore, while becoming profitable through effective cost management.
The brand operates in a competitive space, with Slurrp Farm—another millet-based snack company—raising $7.2 million earlier this year.
Troo Good’s board has approved the issuance of 10,176 equity shares to raise the funds. Oaks Asset Management contributed Rs 37 crore, while Puro Wellness and V Ocean Investments invested Rs 25 crore and Rs 10 crore, respectively. The capital infusion will primarily go toward meeting the company’s working capital requirements.
