With the infusion of this latest round of funding, we’re set to catalyse growth across various fronts — from expanding our team to investments in cutting-edge technology and AI applications.”

According to him, this funding will help Vaaree address the critical areas including curation, merchandising, supply chains, and seamless omnichannel experiences.

The home furnishing and decor startup claims to have delivered 150K products to homes across India within a year of launch and grew its offerings to more than 20K products. Vaaree opened its first retail store in Bengaluru last month, which boasts 2K products.

Currently, it features curated lifestyle looks that change every week.

The startup also counts Kunal Shah, Arjun Vaidya, Vineeta Singh, Ghazal Alagh, Varun Dua, Manish Dugar, Anjali Bansal, Suhail Sameer, Prabhu Rangarajan, Mohan K, Ruchi Deepak, among others as its investors.

According to a study by Research Markets, India’s home decor market is estimated to reach $40.98 Bn by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.14%.
