Luxury watchmaker Rotoris has raised Rs 70 crore (approximately $7.4 million) in a Series A funding round led by Blume Ventures. The round also included investments from Unicorns, Centricity, and family offices associated with Diwakar Goel, Atul Singh, and Adhiraj Burman. Actor and television host Rannvijay Singha also participated in the funding round.
The company plans to use the newly secured capital to strengthen its research and development capabilities, expand production, and increase its physical presence across India and international markets. These investments are expected to support its growth and meet rising demand for its luxury watches.
Founded by Prerna Gupta and Aakash Anand, Rotoris follows an invitation-only purchasing model through its Registry. The company reported that its first collection of 2,100 numbered watches sold out within days of launching in February 2026. Since then, nearly 100,000 people have registered for access, with international markets, including the United States, Dubai, and Australia, accounting for 40% of demand.

In December 2025, Rotoris successfully raised $ 3 million in a seed round led by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, actor-investor Vivek Anand Oberoi, Venture Catalysts, 100 Unicorns, and Tanmay Bhat. Over 30 founders including Varun Alagh of Mamaearth, Gaurav Khatri of Noise and Siddharth Dungarwal of Snitch were also involved in the round.
Rotoris has collections like Manifesta, where natural stone dials are used, and Astonia, a collection of Swiss chronograph movements. It is made in Rotoris Atelier, Gurugram with Swiss and Japanese movements.
