Inspired Spirits raises seed round of undisclosed amount

The fresh capital will be utilised towards team building, expanding into new domestic and international markets, accelerating product innovation

Inspired Spirits, the makers of Quro – India’s first homegrown aperitif crafted with wellness botanicals, has raised an undisclosed amount in its Seed Round led by The Chennai Angels (TCA), along with participation from select angel investors.

The fresh capital will be utilised towards team building, expanding into new domestic and international markets, accelerating product innovation, and growing market share in India’s fast-evolving craft and functional Alco-bev segment.

Founded in 2023 by Anmoll Alok Bansal, Inspired Spirits spent 16 months in intensive research and development before launching Quro. The company experimented with over 200 indigenous Indian ingredients to craft a modern aperitif rooted in traditional botanicals while aligned with contemporary wellness principles.

“At Inspired Spirits, we operate intentionally off the traditional playbook and with TCA backing us, we’re doubling down on exploring the depth of Indian ingredients, unlocking flavours, benefits, and use cases that we have barely scratched the surface of,” said Anmoll Alok Bansal, Founder, Inspired Spirits.

Investment Director from The Chennai Angels, Pankaj Daga said, “Quro has successfully navigated the early challenges most startups face. They’ve carved out a distinct niche with a product that truly resonates with their audience. We’re impressed by Anmoll’s clarity of vision, and we’re proud to partner with Quro, supporting its next phase of growth.

With this investment, Inspired Spirits aims to strengthen its presence in key metro markets, deepen its research capabilities, and continue building a category-defining brand that blends tradition, functionality, and modern consumption patterns.
