Bengaluru, India, 21st August 2025 – Nuvola Spirits Pvt. Ltd., the company behind Mikiamo Limoncello, India’s first Limoncello, has raised ₹1.57 crore in a strategic Pre-Series A funding round from key names in the alco-bev industry. The round saw investments from Mr. Ishwaraj Singh Bhatia, Co-Founder and COO, Simba Beer & ZigZag Vodka (5.75% stake) and Mr.SurajAwatramani, an established distributor of leading alcohol brands in Maharashtra and Goa (5% stake).

This underscores the brand’s potential in India’s premium liqueur segment and will fuel Mikiamo’s continued expansion, building on its successful debut in Goa in May 2024. Mikiamo has since entered the Delhi, Haryana and Karnataka markets, marking a significant step in its expansion journey with new markets set to follow. The partnership aims to expand Mikiamo's market presence and add more premium liqueurs to its portfolio.

Founded in 2023 by husband-and-wife duo Aakriti Kochhar Sachdeva andRaghav Sachdeva, Nuvola Spirits was born from a shared vision to introduce premium global liqueurs to India by blending authenticity with accessibility. Mikiamo Limoncello captures the essence of Italy’s iconic lemon liqueur while catering to the modern Indian palate.

“From the very beginning, we set out to create products that marry global craftsmanship with an understanding of the Indian consumer and Limoncello is just the start. We see immense potential to introduce more premium, world-inspired liqueurs that fit seamlessly into how India drinks today. We are not just introducing a product but an entire culture of refined taste and tradition.” said Aakriti Kochhar Sachdeva, Co-founder of Nuvola Spirits.

“The premium liqueur category in India is still nascent but poised for exponential growth as consumers become more experimental and discerning in their choices,” said Mr. Ishwaraj Singh Bhatia, Co-Founder and COO, Simba Beer & ZigZag Vodka. He added,“Mikiamo is well-positioned to lead this wave — it is authentic, high-quality, and culturally relevant to India’s evolving drinking culture.”

Nuvola’s vision for this next phase is to expand Mikiamo’s footprint across India, strengthen distribution and build lasting awareness for Limoncello within the country’s fast-evolving cocktail culture. With momentum building across key markets and a pipeline of new regions to enter, the brand is set to redefine India’s premium alco-bev space, tapping into the surging appetite for global flavours, craft-led products and elevated drinking experiences.
