4amFresh, has achieved operational profitability just nine months after raising its Rs 6 crore pre-seed round led by OTP Ventures and Gemba Capital in November 2025. The company has delivered exceptional early momentum, recording 50x growth over the past six months while building one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing fresh grocery businesses. Building on this performance, it is now preparing to raise its seed funding round to accelerate technology, operations, customer acquisition and geographical expansion.
Sharath Parameswaran and Padmanabhan Balakrishnan, co-founders, 4amFresh, said, "India's fresh grocery market is estimated at over US$ 300 billion, making it one of the largest fresh food markets globally. Achieving operational profitability within just nine months of our pre-seed round is more than a financial milestone. It validates the strength of our business model and the deep customer trust we have earned. Our first store became profitable within six months, with more than 75 per cent of our revenue driven by repeat customers. Today, we process more than 1,100 orders every day, and our highest-value customer cohorts spend over Rs 5,000 per month. These milestones give us the confidence that we will achieve our expansion targets ahead of schedule while continuing to build India's most trusted platform for truly fresh groceries. We are now entering an accelerated phase of growth, with plans to raise our seed round, invest further in technology, strengthen our supply chain, deepen our presence across Bengaluru and expand into key metropolitan markets over the coming months. With a sharp focus on operational excellence and customer obsession, we are firmly on track to surpass an ARR of Rs 100 crore and redefine how fresh groceries are delivered in urban India."
