Fireside Ventures Leads $10M Series B In Smart Kitchen Brand Beyond Appliances

Beyond Appliances, a smart kitchen brand, has raised $10M in a Series B funding round led by Fireside Ventures, with participation from Dharana Capital and a host of other undisclosed investors.

The company said the money will go toward expanding its product portfolio and boosting manufacturing.

Founder Eshwar K Vikas told Inc42 that Beyond Appliances will come out with its ovens within the next nine to 12 months, a launch that would widen the brand's lineup in the connected kitchen category.

On the production side, Vikas said the startup is eyeing a new manufacturing facility in South or West India. The choice between the two regions would matter for a brand that has to move bulky appliances to consumers, since proximity to component suppliers and port infrastructure shapes both cost and delivery times.

Fireside Ventures, a consumer brands-focused investor, led the round, with Dharana Capital joining alongside investors the company did not name. The presence of an undisclosed set of backers leaves the final cap table only partly visible from the announcement.

The funding was announced on 6 October 2026. Beyond Appliances competes in India's kitchen appliance market, a segment where established players and a growing crop of D2C brands are pushing connected and design-led products at premium price points.

Use of proceeds, as stated: expanding the product portfolio and increasing manufacturing capacity.
