Chelvies Coffee, a speciality coffee and dining brand, has raised $1 million in a pre-Series A funding round led by Endurance Capital. The company also announced an additional $500,000 in debt financing currently underway.
The funds will be used to establish over 30 high-street locations across major Indian metropolitan cities by 2026, enhance supply chain infrastructure, develop proprietary food production systems, and strengthen operational teams, the brand revealed in a press release.
Founded in 2023 by Dhruv Singh, Chelvies Coffee combines premium speciality coffee with high-quality dining options to elevate the Indian coffee experience. Currently, the Delhi-based brand operates six locations across Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad and has set its sights on empowering Indian coffee culture through innovation and customer-centric service.
Chelvies boasts an extensive menu featuring over 70 speciality coffee brews and a curated dining selection, including burgers, artisanal sandwiches, and pasta—all produced in-house. Its proprietary supply chain, supported by centralized dispatch units and base kitchens, ensures an efficient, scalable model while maintaining quality.
With India’s café industry projected to grow at a CAGR of 15-20%, reaching $2.6–3.2 billion by 2028, Chelvies is well-positioned to capitalize on this Chmomentum. The brand has already achieved a monthly revenue run rate of INR 1.30 crore, with profitability demonstrated at each store level.
Chelvies aims to revolutionize India’s coffee culture by merging a European-inspired café concept with an elevated dining experience, catering to the growing demand for premium coffee and quality dining options in urban India.
