Bokaro, February 17, 2026 – Artociti, India’s leading mass-premium luxury 3D wall art and manufacturing brand, has raised ₹1 crore for a 7.5% equity stake at a valuation of ₹13.33 crore on Shark Tank India. The funding comes from renowned investors Namita Thapar, Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals, and Vineeta Singh, Co-founder and CEO of SUGAR Cosmetics. This marks the company’s first institutional investment.
The backing from two of India’s most influential women entrepreneurs brings deep expertise in consumer brand building, manufacturing scale, and retail expansion. The investors lauded the founders’ resilience and highlighted the highly scalable nature of Artociti’s business model within India’s fast-growing premium home décor segment.
The funds will be utilised to build a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bokaro, Jharkhand, to increase production capacity and ensure stricter quality control and quicker deliveries. The move supports Artociti’s experience-based retail format, which is currently led by its 3,000 sq. ft. Artociti Experience Centre in Kirti Nagar, Delhi. The company plans to open new centres in Pune, Bengaluru, and Chennai, while also exploring international export opportunities in the medium term.
Speaking on the milestone, Indrajeet Kumar, Founder and CEO of Artociti, said:
“While managing exhibitions in the Middle East, I recognised a massive gap in the Indian market for premium, high-quality relief 3D wall décor. We built Artociti during the pandemic with a vision to create a national design-manufacturing brand right from Tier-2 India. This investment validates our belief that ‘Made in Bokaro’ can mean world-class quality at an industrial scale. We are deeply grateful for the confidence our investors have shown in our long-term vision.”
Adding to this, Swatiki Prakash, Co-founder and Head of Technology and Finance, noted:
“Building our foundation in India and scaling operations from scratch wasn’t just about making art, it was about engineering scalable manufacturing. By keeping production entirely in-house, we maintain precision and quality in our designs while creating meaningful employment opportunities in Jharkhand.”
