HomeRun, a Bengaluru-based quick commerce startup for construction and home-improvement materials, has raised ₹60 crore in a Series A round led by Sorin Investments, with participation from Titan Capital Winners Fund, Sparrow Capital, Consumer Collective by Atrium and Helios Holdings. The fresh capital will support geographic expansion, strengthen supply-chain capabilities and enhance technology and logistics.
Quick commerce applied to building materials
Founded in 2024 by Pukhraj Grewal, HomeRun offers rapid delivery of construction essentials—cement, plywood, electrical and plumbing fittings, hardware, adhesives and finishing tools—targeting delivery windows of 60 to 90 minutes. The model adapts the speed-driven quick-commerce approach, long associated with groceries, to India’s fragmented building materials market.
The startup’s hyperlocal network is designed to reduce supply uncertainty, manage inconsistent pricing and mitigate last-minute shortages that often stall construction projects. For small contractors, builders and homeowners, timely access to materials is critical to avoid cost overruns and downtime; HomeRun aims to keep projects moving by minimising these interruptions.
Use of funds: infrastructure, sourcing and technology
HomeRun will deploy the ₹60 crore to expand its dark-store and micro-fulfilment footprint, build direct sourcing partnerships with suppliers, and strengthen last-mile logistics. Strategic placement of micro-fulfilment centres is intended to speed deliveries while improving inventory control and order reliability.
In parallel, the company plans technology investments to improve supply-chain efficiency, automate replenishment, and enhance the customer experience. It also intends to broaden product categories to cater to a wider set of construction and renovation needs.
Expansion and market opportunity
Currently operating in Bengaluru, HomeRun aims to replicate its operational model across other major Indian cities in the coming months. Management expects that city-by-city rollouts will unlock scale in a market that remains highly fragmented and largely unorganised.
Investors backing the round cited strong conviction in the opportunity: India’s construction materials sector is large, underpenetrated by organised players and poised to benefit from urbanisation and sustained real-estate activity. As quick commerce evolves beyond groceries into niche verticals, construction supplies—characterised by recurring demand and logistical complexity—are seen as a promising segment.
Founder perspective
Grewal has emphasised the need for greater reliability and transparency in the construction supply chain, arguing that predictable material availability can materially improve contractor productivity and project timelines. With the new funding and strategic investor support, HomeRun is positioning itself to scale and compete in India’s emerging construction quick-commerce landscape.
