Bambrew, a homegrown startup that’s making waves in the sustainable packaging space, has secured ₹90 crore (around $10.3 million) in its latest funding round. The round was led by Ashok Goel — former MD of packaging giant Essel Propack — along with Japanese investment firm ENRISSION INDIA CAPITAL.
This new investment builds on the ₹60 crore Bambrew had previously raised from backers like Blume Ventures. The company, founded in 2019 by Vaibhav Anant, is reimagining packaging by using innovative, eco-friendly materials like bamboo fiber, seaweed, agro-waste, and recycled paper. Unlike most alternatives, Bambrew’s products are designed to be compostable at home, yet durable enough to meet industrial standards.

With fresh capital in hand, Bambrew plans to scale up its production capabilities, speed up R&D, and expand into new international markets, including North America and the Middle East. The startup is also preparing to take a big step into the consumer space with the upcoming launch of its direct-to-consumer (D2C) line — bringing its sustainable packaging solutions directly into Indian homes.
“The world doesn’t need another gimmick in the name of sustainability. We’re building for real impact, with materials and infrastructure that can handle global demand,” said founder and CEO Vaibhav Anant.
Co-founder Kunal Prasad added that the coming year is all about execution: “We’re doubling down on operations, rolling out new products, and creating real value for both businesses and consumers.”
Today, Bambrew supplies over 500 brands across sectors like FMCG, personal care, food and beverage, and e-commerce. While it started with garment and mailer bags, its lineup now includes compostable mango boxes and recyclable film solutions that can replace traditional plastic and aluminum-based packaging.
The company is projecting ₹120 crore in revenue over the next 12 months and is on track to turn profitable. It’s also eyeing high-growth segments like quick commerce and consumer goods, with plans to offer advanced, recyclable, high-barrier packaging solutions tailored to those fast-moving categories.
