Chelvies Coffee, a new name in India’s specialty coffee scene, has successfully raised $1 million in funding, with another $500,000 in debt financing in progress. This round was led by Endurance Capital, a prominent player in venture funding.
The funds will be directed toward ambitious expansion plans aimed at launching over 30 outlets across India’s major metro cities by 2026. The company also intends to enhance its supply chain, develop proprietary food production systems, and strengthen its operational capabilities.
Founded in 2023 by Dhruv Singh, Chelvies Coffee is set to make waves in India’s coffee culture. Coming from a family with deep roots in the restaurant industry—he is the fourth generation of the well-known Kake Di Hatti chain—Dhruv’s vision is to introduce a European-inspired coffee and dining experience to India. Drawing from his experience scaling Kake Di Hatti from 5 to 100 stores across India, Dhruv is now bringing his expertise and passion for quality to Chelvies Coffee.
With six locations already operational in Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad, Chelvies has garnered a strong following, achieving a monthly run rate of Rs 1.30 crore. What’s even more impressive is the profitability demonstrated at each of these locations.

“Chelvies Coffee is not just another coffee shop.

Now, with this fresh round of funding, we’re ready to expand rapidly and bring our vision to cities across India.”

That’s something rare in India’s F&B sector. Chelvies’ impressive sales-to-investment ratio and healthy margins validate both their customer appeal and their potential for high returns.”
