Trufrost & Butler raises $7 Mn from Carpediem Capital

Trufrost & Butler, a provider of commercial refrigeration and foodservice equipment, has raised $7 million in growth funding from Carpediem Capital, a consumer and services-focused private equity fund. 

The proceeds will be used to enhance customer experience by strengthening order fulfilment, expanding service infrastructure, boosting domestic manufacturing, and exploring international markets.

Founded in 2018 by Neeraj Seth and Satish Dudeja, the brand caters to India’s HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés) sector. 

With the rapid expansion of QSRs and foodservice operators beyond metros, Trufrost & Butler provides cost-efficient, innovation-led solutions that meet the needs of tier II and tier III markets. 

Its portfolio includes refrigeration, food preparation, and beverage equipment, designed to deliver reliable performance and quicker ROI for customers.

It plans to deepen its service backbone, accelerate manufacturing capabilities, and enhance beverage and culinary support initiatives with the fresh capital. 

Over the past few years, Trufrost & Butler has positioned itself as a service-led, experiential brand in a fragmented industry, competing against both multinational equipment providers and local suppliers.

With this funding, Trufrost & Butler is set to accelerate growth in India and prepare for selective global expansion.
