Rotoris, an engineering-led luxury analog watch brand, has raised $3 million in seed funding with strong backing from investor–actorpreneur Vivek Oberoi, alongside Nikhil Kamath (Zerodha), Venture Catalysts, 100 Unicorns, and Tanmay Bhat.
Set to Launch in January 2026, Rotoris will debut five collections, Auriqua, Monarch, Astonia, Arvion and Manifesta featuring Swiss-level specifications including sapphire crystal, automatic and Q-matic™ movements and 316L surgical grade stainless steel. Each watch arrives with a collector’s model symbolising progress and ambition.
Rotoris is co-founded by Aakash Anand, the man who scaled Bella Vita Organic into India’s largest fragrance company, alongside serial entrepreneur Prerna Gupta and founding partners Anant Narula and Kunal Kapania. Together, the team aims to build India’s first global watch brand.
Speaking about Rotoris’ engineering and product promise, Vivek Anand Oberoi said, “I’ve collected watches for years, but Rotoris surprised me. It carries the soul of Indian ambition with the finesse of global engineering. That combination is rare. Rotoris is proof that India can build luxury, not just import it.”
The round also saw participation from over 30 prominent Indian founders, including Varun Alagh (Mamaearth), Gaurav Khatri (Noise), Siddharth Dungarwal (Snitch), Nitin Jain (OfBusiness), Vishesh Khurana (Shiprocket), Chirag Taneja (GoKwik), Akash Gupta (Zypp) and Arjun Vaidya (Dr. Vaidya’s).
