Alienkind, a QSR and beverage company, has raised $3.2 million in a pre-Series A fundraising round from current investors, including Arpan Sheth, Prakash Sikaria, and senior VP Ravi Iyer of Flipkart.
The Bengaluru-based business had previously raised $1.2 million in April of last year at a $10 million value through a seed fundraising round.
According to a press release from Alienkind, the revenues will be utilized to fund the company’s next stage of expansion, which includes entering new markets.
Alienkind is a next-generation Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brand that was co-founded in 2024 by Vikram Kakkireni and Abhishek Kumar. It specializes in 100% fresh, functional wellness beverages and culinary items like Starship burgers.
Through immersive environments, products that define categories, and community-driven experiences, the company seeks to revolutionize the QSR experience. It combines preservative-free drinks and plant-forward meals with simple, sci-fi-inspired store designs to appeal to Gen Z and health-conscious urban consumers.
Alienkind asserts that its unique positioning, aggressive pricing, and brand approach have garnered national notice since its founding.
By the end of FY27, the company hopes to reach an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $10 million, and by FY28, it intends to open 100 outlets in key Indian cities.
