A strategic family office based in Dubai and Bestvantage Investments led the Pre-Series A fundraising round for D2C FMCG firm Mitra, which raised INR 11 Cr ($1.3 Mn).
The business intends to use the additional funding to advance its expansion goals, beginning with the opening of new manufacturing facilities in Mathura and Gurugram.
In addition, Mitra plans to use the money earned to expand the strength of its supply chain, look into export prospects in European markets, and take part in important government tenders like NAFED and Bharat Aata.
Mitra is a consumer brand that offers reasonably priced staples like rice, flour, lentils, and spices. The business states that it operates in 14 strategic locations and has a network of more than 15,000 stores and more than 300 distributors.
