Digital-first, sustainable and plant-based home care brand Koparo has raised a funding of Rs 5.2 crore from 4P Capital Partners apart from Rs 70 lakh from Shark Tank India. Aman Gupta, Co-founder, Boat and Vineeta Singh, Co-founder, Sugar have come onboard as investors in the Company.
Koparo’s USP is naturally powered and child-safe, pet-friendly cleaning products that appeal to a growing base of conscious consumers in India. As the millennial families adopt healthier lifestyles, Koparo’s affordable premiums were well received by the Shark Tank India judges.
Founded by Simran Khara, who has worked at McKinsey & Co, Star TV, and more recently as CEO of digital media startup Juggernaut Books, Koparo has shipped more than 5 lac+ orders since they began operations in 2021.
Koparo was selected to be a part of the Founder Stack program by Accel where they received mentorship from the VC firm for 3 months to help them build and scale a consumer startup for today’s times.
Koparo closed last fiscal at Rs 5 crore and is planning to clock Rs. 12 crore this fiscal and grow to Rs 50 cr in the next 2 years.
"Securing a Shark Tank deal from Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh who have built formidable consumer brands is very satisfying," said Simran Khara, Founder, Koparo.
