All In Capital and TDV Partners Back Healthy QSR Expansion
Bengaluru-based healthy QSR brand Acai Theory has raised ₹4 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by All In Capital and TDV Partners.1 The funding enables aggressive store expansion across Bengaluru’s high-growth neighborhoods targeting health-conscious millennials and Gen Z consumers.
The company plans to deploy the fresh capital toward expanding its retail presence, strengthening its team, enhancing brand visibility and building supply chain and R&D capabilities. As part of its immediate growth strategy, Acai Theory aims to launch 8-10 outlets across Bengaluru, establish a central kitchen and integrate AI-led tools alongside digitised SOPs to streamline operations.2
The round also saw participation from angel investors, including Rinshul Chandra, former COO of Zomato Food Delivery; Harpreet Grover, founder of Curious Parent; Anurag Prasad, CEO of Visit Health; Harish Varadarajan, CEO of Fragaria; and others.3 This experienced angel syndicate signals confidence in the healthy QSR category.
The brand currently runs its main outlet in Bengaluru and says it has served over 10,000 bowls in the six months since launching in October 2025.4 The brand specializes in açaí bowls, a superfood from the Amazon region of Brazil, known for its rich nutrient content and appealing taste.
There is a growing preference among Gen Z and millennial consumers in India for functional, high-quality food that integrates easily into everyday life, with the global smoothies and healthy bowls market projected to exceed $23 billion by 2030.5
