Food Startup Fingerlix Secures Rs
8.5 Crore
Funding From Alteria Capital
Venture debt firm Alteria Capital made its first
investment in ready-to-cook food brand Fingerlix in a quick succession after
the first close of its maiden Rs 1,000 crore fund. The Mumbai-based startup,
which is backed by Accel Partners and Zephyr Peacock, raised Rs 8.5 crore in
its first debt financing exercise.
With this funding, the total capital raised by Fingerlix
reached Rs 71.5 crore, including equity and debt. Fingerlix will use the
proceeds to build production capacity for its existing presence in the
country’s top six cities. The firm, which has a kitchen in Mumbai, will build
one in Delhi immediately and follow it up with another for the southern market.
“The investment in Fingerlix represents the ideal type of
transaction that we will seek out of a high-quality business with the potential
to generate high returns, being driven by a great team and strong investor
support," shares Ajay Hattangdi, Managing Partner, Alteria Capital.
Commenting on the same,
Vinod Murali, also a managing partner at the venture debt firm adds, “India has
been starved of a lot of good quality brands. While we are sector agnostic, the
consumer pipeline for Alteria Capital is quite strong and will be evident in
the deals to come.”
