Atomberg的节能风扇赌注到2025财年收入达₹1,000亿，亏损仍在扩大

做的是什么生意

Mumbai consumer-appliance maker whose energy-efficient brushless-DC (BLDC) ceiling fans cut power use sharply; now also sells smart fans, mixer grinders, smart locks, purifiers and juicers.

启动资金：Over $120M raised by early 2025 (Moneycontrol): Jungle Ventures led a $20M round in Dec 2021 at a $150M valuation, followed by an $86M Series C in May 2023 led by Temasek and Steadview Capital.

起因

Manoj Meena and Sibabrata Das founded Atomberg in 2012. They spent the early years re-engineering the everyday ceiling fan around energy-efficient BLDC motors (Jungle Ventures dates the fan push to 2015), betting that in a price-sensitive country the payback from lower power bills would win buyers despite a premium price.

经过

Jungle Ventures led a $20M round in late 2021 at a $150M valuation and the company moved from a small Mumbai factory to a vertically integrated plant in Pune. In May 2023 it raised $86M led by Temasek and Steadview, and broadened from fans into BLDC mixer grinders, smart locks, water purifiers and cold-press juicers. Revenue climbed from ₹348 Cr in FY22 to ₹645 Cr in FY23, ₹848 Cr in FY24, and past ₹1,000 Cr in FY25, while losses widened more slowly: ₹39 Cr, ₹139 Cr and ₹204 Cr over the same years. Distribution went from 15,000+ retail touchpoints in 2023 to 30,000+ counters in 2025, with an offline-first model because fans are high-ticket, low-frequency purchases.

结果

Still scaling and not yet profitable as of September 2025: FY25 total income crossed ₹1,000 Cr while the FY24 net loss of ₹204 Cr was the latest reported. Co-founder Sibabrata Das framed the open questions — multi-category brand, deeper manufacturing, global expansion — as the next decade's bets.
