Quick commerce enablement startup Inamo is in the process of raising ₹50 crore (approximately $5.4 million) in what appears to be its Series A funding round, according to sources familiar with the development.
The round is being led by Five SB Limited, with participation from existing investors Shastra VC, Antler, and Gemba Capital. Regulatory filings indicate that the company is raising capital at a pre-money valuation of ₹110 crore (around $12 million), based on its October 2025 valuation report.
Capital to Fuel Expansion
Sources said the fresh capital will be deployed to scale operations amid intensifying competition in India’s fast-growing quick commerce ecosystem. The fundraise comes roughly five months after Inamo secured $3 million to expand its dark store network.
The company did not respond to queries sent earlier this week.
Building the Backend of Quick Commerce
Founded in 2024 by former Dunzo VP Sumit Anand and ex-ApnaKlub product head Rupesh Thakare, Inamo positions itself as an operational and technology partner for quick commerce platforms.
The startup enables businesses to establish, manage, and optimise dark store operations while also offering last-mile fleet services. In addition to tech-driven dark store management solutions, Inamo provides outsourced operational support, delivery optimisation, curation, listing, and replenishment services to D2C brands.
Currently operational across six metro cities, Inamo claims to manage more than 50 dark stores supported by a dedicated last-mile delivery fleet. It competes with players such as Zippee and Blitz in the quick commerce infrastructure space.
Riding the Quick Commerce Wave
India’s quick commerce sector is witnessing rapid expansion, driven by evolving consumer preferences for faster deliveries and hyperlocal convenience. The market is projected to grow from $6.1 billion in 2024 to $40 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 37%—nearly double the 19% growth rate of the broader ecommerce industry.
With investor interest intensifying and competition heating up, Inamo is positioning itself to capitalise on the backend infrastructure opportunity powering India’s quick commerce boom.
