Bengaluru-based HomeRun has raised Rs 60 crore (~$6.6 million) in a Series A funding round, signaling a rapid acceleration for the construction and interior materials platform. The round was led by Sorin Investments, which contributed Rs 40 crore, with significant participation from the Titan Capital Winners Fund, Sparrow Capital, Consumer Collective by Atrium, and Helios Holdings.
This capital injection follows a remarkably short trajectory; the startup raised its Rs 9 crore seed round just three months ago in November.
Rapid Growth and Strategic Expansion
Founded in 2024 by Pukhraj Grewal, HomeRun is applying the quick commerce model to the traditionally slow-moving construction industry. By leveraging a hyperlocal network of dark stores, the platform promises delivery of essential materials—including cement, plywood, electricals, and plumbing supplies—within 60 to 90 minutes.
The company plans to utilize the Series A funds to:
-
Expand product categories and strengthen sourcing partnerships.
-
Scale dark-store infrastructure to improve geographic coverage.
-
Invest in fulfillment technology to maintain its 90-minute delivery window.
-
Launch operations in new cities, moving beyond its initial Bengaluru footprint.
Disrupting the Supply Chain
HomeRun targets two primary pain points for homeowners and contractors: pricing opacity and procurement delays. By offering a digital-first approach to hardware and finishing materials, the startup seeks to modernize a market currently dominated by fragmented traditional retailers.
While the “q-commerce” space is crowded with groceries and electronics, HomeRun carves out a niche by tackling heavy-duty logistics. It currently competes with specialized players like IBO and Material Depot, as well as the sprawling network of local hardware shops.
The Bottom Line: With two funding rounds in under four months, HomeRun is betting that the construction industry is ready for the same “on-demand” convenience that has transformed the consumer retail sector.
