Fireside Ventures leads funding in Cumin Co. and other India deals

Kitchenware brand Cumin Co. has raised $1.5 million in a strategic investment round led by Fireside Ventures with participation from Huddle Ventures, per a company announcement.

The funding will be used to scale research and development, accelerate product innovation, and strengthen manufacturing capacity while building deeper market penetration through its direct-to-consumer online presence, the startup said in a statement.

“Kitchenware has been overlooked for far too long in India, even though it’s central to every household. Our vision is to reimagine ware by combining rigorous R&D with design and safety. This investment allows us to scale our innovation pipeline and set a new benchmark for healthy kitchenware in India,” said Niharika Joshi and Udit Lekhi, co-founders of Cumin Co.

Since its inception in 2025, Cumin Co. claims to have reached out to 7,000+ households. Over the next 12 months, the company aims to expand its community of conscious consumers to 1,00,000+ households. With the fresh funding, the company plans to expand its product portfolio with 80+ product launches by the year end.
