Feline Spirits, a homegrown craft alcoholic beverage startup, has raised ₹5.2 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV).
The fresh funds raised will be utilised to fuel its portfolio expansion and expand into new geographies.
Founded in 2019 by Prabhat Sharma (CEO) and Rohit Saxena (COO), Feline Spirits is an Indian startup in the Craft Alcoholic Beverage portfolio. With a focus on delivering handcrafted liquors in premium packaging at affordable prices, the brand has developed a diverse portfolio across vodka, whisky, and brandy in the premium and mass-premium segments.
Currently operational across 8 states and the union territories, Feline Spirits has already established a notable market presence, driven by a diverse portfolio and having served more than 20 Lakhs customer base. The brand continues to expand strategically across both private and government-owned markets.
In FY2023–24, Feline Spirits recorded a monthly top-line of over 2 lakh bottles (10,303 cases) with revenue crossing ₹11 crore. In FY2024–25, the company sold over 19,751 cases (4.1+ lakh bottles), generating a sales value of over ₹25 crore. It has secured operating licenses in 8 markets, including 5 government-owned and operated ones.
“At Feline Spirits, our vision has always been to redefine India’s alcohol industry by crafting high-quality, premium spirits. Our partnership with IPV has provided us with the right strategic backing to accelerate our expansion and establish Feline Spirits as a formidable player in the market. As we expand our footprint across the country and strengthen our partnerships, we’re excited to lead a transformation in the way consumers engage with and enjoy craft alcohol,” said Prabhat Sharma, CEO of Feline Spirits.
Ankur Mittal, Co-Founder- IPV, said, “India’s alcohol market has long been split between low-quality mass products and overpriced international brands. Feline Spirits bridges this gap by offering premium, handcrafted liquor that’s high in quality, thoughtfully designed, and reasonably priced. Feline is setting a new standard, where well-made, great-looking spirits are no longer a luxury, but the norm.”
