Bombay Shaving Company (BSC), known for its men's grooming products, just raised ₹136 crore ($15.3 million) in fresh funding as it prepares for a potential IPO.
The round was led by Sixth Sense Ventures, with support from CEO Shantanu Deshpande, the Patni Family Office, GII, and even cricket legend Rahul Dravid.
The new funds are set to boost BSC's retail presence and help them reach more customers both online and offline.
BSC is gearing up for an IPO
Since starting in 2015, BSC has pulled in $51.5 million overall and now reports a net revenue run rate of over ₹550 crore and has achieved PAT profitability, doubling its performance compared to FY25.
They're focusing on growing their market share in trimmers, electric shavers, and their women's brand Bombae—competing with names like Ustraa, Beardo, and The Man Company as they look to level up before going public.
