Mumbai: Digital-first, sustainable and plant-based home care brand Koparo has raised a funding of Rs 5.2 crore from 4P Capital Partners apart from Rs 70 lakh from Shark Tank India. Boat co-founder Aman Gupta and Sugar co-founder Vineeta Singh have come onboard as investors in the company.
The brand, which has raised the money at the valuation at Rs 70 crore, is planning to invest the funds in brand building and distribution.
Koparo’s USP is naturally powered and child-safe, pet-friendly cleaning products that appeal to a growing base of conscious consumers in India. As the millennial families adopt healthier lifestyles, Koparo’s affordable premiums were well received by the Shark Tank India judges.

I’m excited to have 4P Capital Partners on-board as their backers have experience of building large consumer brands. In the next 2 years, we are targeting to reach 10 lakh Indian consumers and our focus is on expanding distribution both online and offline."
4P Capital Partners CIO and partner Aditya Arora said, “We are impressed with the solid business that Simran has built in a short span of time. Her focus on positive economics stands out for us. We strongly believe that sustainable and plant-based home cleaners are the need of the hour and are happy to back Koparo on its journey.”
