The round witnessed participation of Dr Akshay Singhal, founder and CEO of Log9 Materials and Monika Rao, co-founder and CEO of AIFMetrics. The fund raised will be utilized to capture a wide market and both B2B and B2C customer base for beverages that still need a kind of solution which Swizzle provides, in addition to increase the startup's manufacturing capacity, marketing enhancement and new product's development.

"We are happy and glad to raise Swizzle's maiden seed funding.

The startup plans to launch Swizzle's mocktail syrups in the cities of Delhi, Chandigarh and Mumbai in the upcoming months of 2022, claimed by the company in a statement.

"The cocktail market in India over the last few years have been on an interesting and upwards journey. Consumers have become more adventurous and experimental with flavors and combinations. Swizzle brings all this to your doorstep and have brought the whole concept of 'farm to table' to the mixology world. Thei packaging, choice of ingredients and quality of product was very impressive, and hence we became Swizzle fans from the moment we had our first sip," Monika Rao, co-founder and CEO, AIFMetrics.
