Secret Alchemist, which had brought in actor Samantha Prabhu as co-founder in 2024, raised seed funding of $3 million led by Unilever Ventures earlier in January this year. Inflection Point Ventures had invested in the startup in 2024.

According to the company, over half of its portfolio startups that are more than two years old have either secured follow-on funding or achieved exits. In FY26 alone, 26 startups from its portfolio raised additional capital, resulting in a blended IRR of 84.22% and a 3.33x multiple through secondary transactions.
To date, Inflection Point Ventures has deployed more than Rs 1,200 crore across over 280 startups. The platform also completed 18 investments during Q4 2025, backing startups such as Cohoma Coffee, Pinq Polka, Reneonix and Roopya.
