Bengaluru-based quick commerce startup HomeRun has raised ₹60 crore in a Series A round led by Sorin Investments, backing the firm’s plan to scale operations, deepen supply-chain capabilities and expand into new urban markets. Participating investors include Titan Capital Winners Fund, Sparrow Capital, Consumer Collective by Atrium and Helios Holdings.
Funding details and use of proceeds
Sorin Investments provided the largest share of the ₹60 crore round, signalling strong investor confidence in HomeRun’s rapid-delivery model for construction materials. The company will deploy the capital to expand its network of hyperlocal micro-fulfilment centres (dark stores), strengthen direct sourcing partnerships and upgrade logistics to shorten lead times and improve inventory control.
HomeRun also plans to invest in technology to boost order reliability, enhance supply-chain efficiency and refine the customer experience. Resources will be used to broaden product categories served, enabling the startup to address a wider range of needs across renovation and construction projects.
Quick commerce adapted for construction supplies
Founded in 2024 by Pukhraj Grewal, HomeRun applies the quick commerce model—typically associated with groceries—to the fragmented market for building materials. The platform promises delivery of essentials such as cement, plywood, electrical fittings, plumbing goods, hardware, adhesives and finishing tools within 60–90 minutes.
The service is aimed at small builders, contractors and homeowners who face frequent last‑minute shortages, inconsistent pricing and supply uncertainty. By offering rapid, reliable local fulfilment, HomeRun seeks to reduce contractor downtime, prevent project delays and limit cost overruns that stem from interrupted supplies.
Expansion strategy and market opportunity
Currently operating in Bengaluru, HomeRun intends to replicate its operational model in other major Indian cities over the coming months. The company believes scaling multiple hyperlocal networks will unlock significant opportunity in India’s largely unorganised building‑materials market.
Investors point to sustained urbanisation and ongoing real-estate activity as tailwinds for demand in organised, tech-enabled supply solutions. As quick commerce in India evolves beyond groceries, niche segments with recurring demand and complex logistics—such as construction supplies—are attracting growing interest from funds and founders alike.
Founder perspective
Grewal has emphasised the need for reliability and transparency in the construction supply chain, arguing that predictable material availability and reduced downtime materially improve productivity for contractors and developers. With fresh capital and strategic backing, HomeRun is positioned to scale its footprint and compete in the emerging construction quick-commerce category.
