Premium ice cream brand Hocco has raised a new round of funding from its early investor Sauce.vc. The company said the capital will be deployed to expand manufacturing capacity, strengthen cold-chain and logistics, accelerate product innovation, and grow its footprint across India as well as select international markets.

Ankit Chona, Managing Director of Hocco, stated, “This funding allows us to move faster on the vision we’ve set for Hocco: To make quality ice cream that is exciting, innovative, and crafted to turn everyday moments into something special. Sauce.vc has been a long-time believer in our journey, backing us from the very start, and their continued support is a huge validation of what we’re building. At Hocco, ice cream is our way of bringing something fresh, modern and joyful to a legacy category. With this capital, we’re doubling down on that idea and scaling it for many more consumers across India and beyond.”

Manu Chandra, Founder and Managing Partner, Sauce.vc, said, “Ankit and team are a rare combination of strong category know-how and unbridled ambition. They are keen to build Hocco into India’s most loved ice cream company, and we are excited to continue partnering with them on this journey from day zero.”
