In a major boost to India’s growing agri-consumer landscape, Eggoz, a startup bringing farm-fresh eggs and protein-rich ready-to-cook products to your plate, has raised $20 million in a Series C funding round. The round was led by Gaja Capital, with enthusiastic participation from its existing backers—IvyCap Ventures, Rebright Partners, Avaana Capital, NABVENTURES, Merisis Opportunities Fund, Arvind Thakur, S. Ramadorai, Artek Chemicals, Blue Dot Capital, and several other marquee angels.
Founded in 2017 in Bihar—far from the typical startup hubs—Eggoz is rewriting the rules of how eggs are sourced, processed, and delivered. Its core promise? That every egg is fresh, traceable, and meets over 11 hygiene and safety checks before it lands on the shelf—within just 24 hours of being laid.
The startup was brought to life by three childhood friends turned co-founders—Abhishek Negi, Aditya Singh, and Uttam Kumar—who shared a common frustration: the poor quality and inconsistent safety of eggs in India’s food chain. What began as a mission in rural Bihar has since scaled into a national brand, with operations now spanning Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, and several other non-metro cities.
With this new round of funding, Eggoz plans to deepen its presence in existing markets, enter new cities, and double down on technology and supply chain infrastructure to make fresh, hygienic eggs a norm rather than a luxury.
The startup isn’t stopping at eggs either. It has recently entered the ready-to-cook space, offering a range of protein-packed options like momos, nuggets, burger patties, and more—catering to a new generation of urban consumers seeking convenience without compromising nutrition.
Eggoz’s asset-light model—anchored by direct farmer partnerships and tech-enabled traceability—has struck a chord with consumers and investors alike. The company says it uses 100% herbal feed for hens, and its tech ensures each egg’s journey is monitored right from the farm to the store shelf.
The numbers tell a story of their own. Eggoz clocked an impressive 76% year-on-year revenue growth, jumping from ₹74 crore in FY24 to ₹130 crore in FY25. It hit a peak annual recurring revenue (ARR) of ₹200 crore and, notably, achieved EBITDA breakeven in Q4 FY25—a significant milestone in the current startup funding climate.
Industry estimates peg the Indian egg market at a whopping $12 billion (₹1 lakh crore)—an opportunity Eggoz is clearly poised to tap.
In a statement, the founders expressed gratitude for the backing and emphasized that the fresh capital will help further their mission of “making safe, nutritious eggs accessible to every Indian household.”
With health-conscious consumers rising, and protein-rich diets gaining ground, Eggoz seems ready to hatch into a household name—one egg at a time.
