Skippi raises ₹12 Cr in extended pre-Series A to scale ice pops empire and expand to Middle East

Natural ice popsicle brand Skippi has raised ₹12 crore (~$1.4M) in an extended pre-Series A round led by Dubai-based Surya family offices (₹10 Cr), with additional participation from angel investors (₹2 Cr).

The new capital will fuel:

• Brand visibility campaigns
• Expansion into the Middle East
• Product innovation and leadership hiring
• Working capital enhancements

Co-founded in 2021 by Ravi Kabra & Anuja Kabra, Skippi makes natural ice pops with RO water and clean ingredients, featuring desi flavors like Kala Khatta. The brand rose to fame after bagging ₹1.2 Cr from all six sharks on Shark Tank India Season 1 and it hasn’t looked back since.

Now available in 20,000+ retail stores, as well as Zepto, Instamart, Amazon, and bigbasket, Skippi is also expanding its lineup with Crazy Corn, Cornsticks, and Cream Rolls.

This funding marks a key step toward making Skippi a household name across India and global markets.
