Good Farmer Food Concepts, the parent company behind artisanal coffee brand Maverick & Farmer Coffee and fast-food brand Square Burgers & Co., has raised $1.5 million in an ongoing pre-Series A funding round. The round is led by CreedCap, with participation from Indian tennis star Rohan Bopanna, former Indian cricket captain Rahul Dravid, and Meraki Sport & Entertainment.

According to the company’s press statement, the capital will be deployed to expand national café presence, strengthen R&D and production infrastructure, and accelerate growth across its retail vertical.

Building Scalable Indian Brands Rooted in Craftsmanship

Good Farmer Food Concepts operates two consumer-facing brands:

• Maverick & Farmer Coffee – A farm-to-cup specialty coffee brand with cafés, retail products, a strong D2C channel, and a growing B2B presence.

• Square Burgers & Co. – A modern, health-forward fast-food brand built on fresh ingredients and innovation.

Founded in 2024 by Ashish D’abreo, Sreeram Gangadharan, and Tej Thammaiah, the company aims to build scalable Indian food and beverage brands that emphasize craftsmanship, transparency, and long-term value creation.

Maverick & Farmer: Innovation From Farm to Cup

Maverick & Farmer conducts coffee experimentation on its 140-acre estate in Pollibetta, Coorg, developing bold flavors and inventive brews. The brand currently operates:

• 4 cafés in Bengaluru

• 2 cafés in Goa

Its B2B footprint includes partnerships with major establishments such as Second Cup Coffee, Magnolia Bakery, Courtyard Marriott, Cowrks India, Lavonne, and Boston Consulting Group. Maverick & Farmer also retails directly through its online store.

Retail Growth and Expansion Plans

The company’s retail division focuses on specialty coffee SKUs and developing the home-brewing experience with curated equipment. With rising demand for artisanal coffee and premium fast food, Good Farmer Food Concepts is expanding its presence in:

• Mumbai

• Delhi NCR

• Goa

• Bengaluru

The company currently operates seven outlets across Bengaluru and Goa and expects to reach ten outlets by the end of the year.

This investment marks a significant milestone for Good Farmer Food Concepts as it pushes forward with its mission to redefine India’s coffee culture and elevate modern fast-food experiences across the country.
