QSR and beverage brand Alienkind has raised $3.2 million in pre-Series A funding round from existing investors like Prakash Sikaria, Flipkart senior VP Ravi Iyer, Arpan Sheth, and others. 

Prior to this, the Bengaluru-based startup had secured  $1.2 million in a Seed funding round at the valuation of $10 million in April last year.

The proceeds will be used to support its next phase of growth, including expansion into new markets, Alienkind said in a press release.

Co founded in 2024 by Vikram Kakkireni and Abhishek Kumar, Alienkind is a next generation Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain specialising in 100% fresh, functional wellness beverages, and food offerings such as Starship burgers.

The company aims to redefine the QSR experience through immersive spaces, category defining products, and community driven experiences. It targets Gen Z and health conscious urban consumers by combining minimalist, sci fi inspired store designs with preservative free beverages and plant forward meals.

Since its launch, Alienkind claims to have gained nationwide attention with its differentiated positioning, competitive pricing, and brand strategy.

The company says it is on track to achieve an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $10 million by the end of FY27 and plans to expand to 100 stores across major Indian cities by FY28.
