Luxury watch brand Rotoris raises Rs 70 Cr in Series A round led by Blume Ventures

Luxury watch brand Rotoris has raised Rs 70 crore (about $7.4 million) in a Series A funding round led by Blume Ventures. The round also saw participation from 9Unicorns, Centricity and a group of family offices, including Diwakar Goel, Atul Singh and Adhiraj Burman. Actor and television host Rannvijay Singha also participated in the round.

The company will use the fresh capital for research and development, production expansion and the growth of its physical presence in India and overseas.

Founded by Prerna Gupta and Aakash Anand, Rotoris operates an invitation only model through its Registry. The company said its first collection of 2,100 numbered watches sold out within days of its launch in February 2026. Nearly 100,000 people have since registered for access to its watches, with 40% of demand coming from markets outside India, including the US, Dubai and Australia.

In December 2025, Rotoris raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, actor-investor Vivek Anand Oberoi, Venture Catalysts, 100 Unicorns and Tanmay Bhat. The round also saw participation from more than 30 founders, including Mamaearth's Varun Alagh, Noise's Gaurav Khatri and Snitch's Siddharth Dungarwal.

Rotoris offers collections such as Manifesta, which features natural stone dials, and Astonia, a chronograph built around a Swiss movement. Its watches are assembled and tested at the Rotoris Atelier in Gurugram, with movements sourced from Switzerland and Japan.

The company plans to expand its physical presence through Rotoris House, with plans to move beyond Delhi to Mumbai and New York.

Aakash Anand previously built and scaled beauty and personal care brand Bella Vita before exiting the business. Prerna Gupta leads Rotoris, with a focus on premium brand building and customer experience.
