WickedGud, a Mumbai-based direct-to-consumer food company, has announced securing 20 crore rupees (around US$2.3 million) in a pre-series A funding.

The round was led by Orios Venture Partners, with additional funds from Asiana Alternative Investment Fund and existing investors.

Founded in 2021, WickedGud produces pasta and noodles using “nutrition-rich ingredients,” according to its website.

The company plans to use the new funding to enhance its distribution network, boost branding and marketing, expand product development, and introduce Korean flavors to its noodle range.
