# Beyond Appliances raises Rs 110 crore in Series B funding round 2026-10-06T03:46:45+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Smart kitchen technology company Beyond Appliances has raised Rs 110 crore ($10.4 million) in a Series B funding round led by Fireside Ventures, with participation from Dharana Capital and other investors. The Bengaluru-based startup plans to use the capital to expand manufacturing capacity, set up a new plant and enter new product categories, including ovens. Founder Eshwar K Vikas said the company will launch ovens within the next 9 to 12 months, targeting an appliance focused on cooking rather than just reheating. The company plans to build a Rs 500 crore annual recurring revenue business over three years. It currently sells Android-powered chimneys, smart hobs and cooktops. Beyond Appliances recorded a net revenue of Rs 40 crore in FY26. The company is also expanding its offline presence, aiming for 1,500-2,000 retail touchpoints, up from the current 300-400. The Hindu Business Line reports the new plant location is yet to be finalised, while Inc42 reports the company is eyeing South or West India. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The coverage of Beyond Appliances’ Series B round is uniform straight reporting across both outlets. The Hindu Business Line and Inc42 both lead with the Rs 110 crore figure and Fireside Ventures as lead investor. Both quote founder Eshwar K Vikas on the oven launch timeline. The outlets differ only on two minor points: Inc42 provides additional detail on the startup’s product features and a broader market context of similar startups, while The Hindu Business Line includes a quote from Fireside Ventures. On the new plant location, The Hindu Business Line states it is yet to be finalised, whereas Inc42 reports the company is eyeing South or West India. Neither outlet adopts a pro-government, critical or sensationalist framing. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Straight news report on funding, no editorial slant - inc42.com (neutral report) Factual report with added market context, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
