D2C dairy startup Sid's Farm raises $10 Mn in Series A round

D2C dairy brand Sid's Farm has raised $10 million in Series A funding co-led by Omnivore and Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office (NSFO).

In January last year, it raised $1 million in a bridge round from its customers and their referrals.

Sid's Farm plans to use the proceeds to strengthen its presence in Hyderabad and Bengaluru by raising manufacturing capabilities and hiring across key departments.

Founded in 2016, Sid’s Farm is a mass premium Hyderabad-based dairy brand, serving more than 25,000 customers across two cities.

According to the startup, it controls the entire value chain of milk and milk products by sourcing directly from farmers and conducting quality testing throughout at every point of production.

Sid’s Farm started its operations with whole buffalo and cow milk and gradually diversified into curd, paneer, ghee, butter, dairy beverages, and dairy-based desserts.

It competes with Country Delight and Akshayakalpa Organic. While Country Delight raised $29 million across two tranches this year, Akshayakalpa Organic raised $12 million as a part of larger Series C round led by A91 Partners in January.
