Quick commerce startup Inamo has raised $8 million in a new funding round led by Prime Venture Partners.
Other investors who also took part in the round include Shastra VC, Antler India, and Gemba Capital.
Out of the total $8 million, $6 million came as equity investment, and $2 million was raised as venture debt.
Inamo plans to use this money to open more dark stores, add more brands to its platform, and expand into new product categories.
“Established brands and platforms are still recalibrating their legacy fulfilment models for a channel that requires speed and data integration by design. We are building that backbone to modernise systems by providing purpose-built full-stack capabilities in quick commerce,” said Anand, the firm’s chief executive, who was previously with Dunzo, ola, and ApnaKlub.
“Many brands use their ecommerce tech stack for quick commerce, and there is a clear need for a stack suitable for quick commerce. So, we will continue to invest in our tech,” said Thakare, who has earlier worked with Goldman Sachs, ninjacart, and ApnaKlub.
Commenting on the funding, Brij Bhushan, managing partner, Prime Venture Partners, said in a statement, “Inamo is building critical infrastructure for the next wave of e-commerce in India. Their ability to combine deep operational execution with a modular technology stack while scaling rapidly makes them uniquely positioned in a large, fast-growing market.”
Inamo was started in 2024 by Sumit Anand, former VP at Dunzo, and Rupesh Thakare, former product head at ApnaKlub.
The company helps businesses set up and manage dark stores, which are small warehouses used to deliver online orders quickly.
Inamo provides tools and services that help dark stores run smoothly and grow faster. It also has its own delivery team to handle last-mile deliveries, making sure products reach customers quickly.
