    Led · Series A · Jan 2026

    Founded in 2024 by Karthik Chandrasekaran, 33&Brew positions itself as India’s first vinyl-themed microbrewery, allowing guests to select and play records in the classic 33⅓ RPM format while enjoying craft beer. The outlet pairs its beer program with a progressive Indian menu created in collaboration with chef Sabyasachi Gorai and also serves signature cocktails. Located in Bengaluru, the microbrewery aims to offer a distinctive music-driven dining experience that differentiates it within India’s rapidly growing craft beer scene. The company’s core product is on-premise craft beer complemented by vinyl music curation and globally influenced food. Proceeds from its recent funding will finance construction and expansion, signaling impending growth beyond its initial location. Although detailed revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the fresh capital gives the startup resources to scale operations and build brand presence in Karnataka’s competitive microbrewery market.
