Quick service restaurant (QSR) startup Boba Bhai and software testing platform Quash have secured early-stage funding, the companies said.
Boba Bhai, a QSR startup serving tea, has raised Rs 30 crore, or $3.5 million, in its Series A investment round led by 8i Ventures.
The round also saw participation from Titan Capital Winners Fund, Global Growth Capital, DEVC and existing investors, the Bengaluru-based startup said.
The startup will use the funds to expand the brand's presence to new cities, scale operations in existing markets, introduce innovative offerings in the menu and look at new sub-brands.
Founded in 2023 by Dhruv Kohli, the company fuses flavours of Bubble Tea, K-pop Burgers, and Ice Creams, processing over 80,000 monthly orders. It has presence across nine cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Delhi, through 42 outlets.

The Bengaluru-based company also saw participation from Java Capital, PeerCheque, DeVC by Matrix Partners, and Tracxn's Abhishek Goyal, it said in a statement.
The capital raised will be deployed to build AI agents for testing and expanding Quash's customer base to the US and European markets.
Quash was founded in 2023 by Ayush Shrivastava, Prakhar S. and Ameer Hamza. It runs a tool named Quash Automate that tests apps autonomously by making decisions and taking the steps to identify, scope, generate and execute tests.
