Flavoured sparkling water brand Polka Pop raises funding  

Polka Pop, a Chennai-headquartered flavored sparkling water brand, has raised funds in a pre-seed round led by Atishe Chordia, founder of Doodleblue Innovations. The funding round included Parasar Sarma, a former growth leader at Wakefit, Senthil Natarajan, managing partner at Kovai Pazhamudir, and Shikha Gupta, managing director of Life Fitness India. Polka Pop offers fizzy drinks that combine taste and health. The startup claims to be currently selling over 40,000 bottles per month and is present across quick commerce platforms such as Swiggy, Zepto, and BlinkIt. The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its reach to hotel chains, bars, restaurants, and office spaces, as well as establish a retail footprint across metro cities. Polka Pop is also in talks with funds for a follow-on seed round that will be used to build out existing channels.
