UKHI, a company that makes eco-friendly materials, has raised INR 10.5 crore in seed funding. The round was led by Venture Catalysts with support from 100 Unicorns, 888 VC, and DCG Pack which is also its industrial partner.

The company will use the new money to increase production of EcoGran, its main product. It will also improve its formulas and technology and build stronger partnerships in the packaging industry.

UKHI’s technology is designed to be scalable, affordable, and environmentally friendly. It helps brands reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics while maintaining the same strength, quality and performance.

Within six months, UKHI said it has built a commercially viable biopolymer platform, developed proprietary material intellectual property, and commenced market adoption across India’s packaging ecosystem. The company focuses on developing high-performance biodegradable and compostable materials that can replace conventional plastics while remaining compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure.

Within just a few months, the company started earning revenue from large clients. It has already sold more than 2 lakh kilograms of biopolymer material to early customers showing strong demand for its products.
