Gramiyaa has raised Rs 18.65 crore in fresh funding. The round values the cold-pressed oil brand at Rs 110 crore. The Series A was led by new investor Optiscape Network Holdings, with existing backers Homegrown Ventures and Campus Fund also taking part.
The Bengaluru company’s board allotted 32,968 Series A preference shares at Rs 5,657 each, according to regulatory filings. Optiscape led the round with Rs 9 crore. Homegrown Ventures followed with Rs 4.5 crore, while Campus Fund added Rs 4 crore.

What the brand actually sells
Founded in 2016 by Sibi Manivannan, Gramiyaa makes cold-pressed oils in-house. It uses traditional oil-making methods rather than large-scale refining. Its range covers groundnut, coconut, sesame and mustard oils, along with virgin coconut and olive oils.
The brand sells through its own website. It is also listed on Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, BigBasket, DMart Ready and FirstClub. Co-founders Mohamed Yaseen and Naveenrajaman RL hold 13.02 per cent each, while Manivannan retains 26.04 per cent.
Shareholding and the numbers behind it
Homegrown Ventures stays the largest external shareholder with 17.34 per cent. Campus Fund follows at 9.86 per cent, and Optiscape holds 8.28 per cent.
The financials tell a familiar early-stage story. Revenue is climbing fast, and losses are climbing faster. In FY25, Gramiyaa’s revenue jumped 72.7 per cent year-on-year to Rs 19 crore, while losses widened nearly 12.7 times to Rs 4 crore.
The company is yet to file its FY26 accounts. That leaves one open question for the next round: whether it can turn fast-growing sales into cleaner unit economics.
Why cold-pressed oils are drawing money
Cold-pressed oils have moved from niche health stores into mainstream grocery baskets. Quick-commerce platforms turned them into an easy impulse buy. Brands can now reach buyers without spending heavily on retail shelves.
That shift has pulled venture money into the category. Gramiyaa competes with a growing set of D2C pantry labels. The fresh capital is meant to help it defend shelf space online and offline.
