For Real Bags INR 3.2 Cr in Pre-Seed Funding from Titan Capital
Delhi-based online factory outlet marketplace For Real has secured INR 3.2 crore in a pre-seed funding round from Titan Capital.
The startup plans to use the capital to develop its technology platform, onboard additional brands, and accelerate early user adoption.
Founded by Anurag Sheth and Mohit Sheth, For Real focuses on branded excess inventory and provides a dedicated channel for liquidation. The platform allows brands to clear unsold stock without impacting pricing or visibility on their primary sales channels.
Unlike conventional marketplaces that combine fresh and discounted items, For Real offers a platform specifically tailored for off-price products with limited stock per style and distinct discovery requirements.
Currently in its early stages, the startup intends to scale operations gradually while expanding its brand partnerships and growing its user base.
EV-as-a-Service Platform Hala Mobility Raises INR 12.25 Cr
Hyderabad-based electric mobility platform Hala Mobility has raised INR 12.25 crore in a combination of equity and debt funding from Recur Club, following its appearance on the premiere week of the entrepreneurial reality series Bharat Ke Super Founders on Amazon MX Player.
The round also saw participation from Nazara Technologies CEO Nitish Mittersain, Anikarth Ventures' Dr Aarti Gupta, Thyrocare's Dr A Velumani, Aditya Singh of All In Capital, and LetsVenture's Pranav Mahajani.
Founded in 2020 by Srikanth Reddy, Snehith Reddy Meda, and Anand Pareek, Hala Mobility provides electric two-wheeler rentals and services for e-commerce and gig workers. The company operates through its proprietary HELIX framework and FOCO model, covering manufacturing, operations, analytics, and recycling to ensure end-to-end fleet management.
The funding is expected to accelerate fleet expansion from 3,000 to 9,000 vehicles, extend operations from six to nine cities, and scale the team from 106 to 292 employees.
Revenues are projected to grow from INR 22 crore in FY24-25 to INR 92 crore in FY25-26. To date, Hala Mobility claims to have supported over 25,000 drivers, contributing to job creation while reducing carbon emissions across its operational footprint.
Intellend Technologies Secures USD 1.2 Mn to Enable Credit for MSMEs
Mumbai-based embedded lending tech startup Intellend Technologies Advisors has secured USD 1.2 million in a seed funding round led by Incubate Fund Asia.
The round also included participation from M Venture Partners, Atrium Angels, and angel investor Dhananjay Tiwari.
The capital will be deployed to expand the core team, enhance product capabilities, and support the company's go-to-market strategy.
Founded in May 2025 by Brotish Das, Som Chatterjee, and Bodhisattwa Gupta, Intellend is developing a full-stack lending-as-a-service platform aimed at enabling embedded credit for micro, small, and medium enterprises within digital merchant ecosystems.
The platform allows merchant platforms and financial institutions to provide loans at the point of need, leveraging data-driven underwriting and automated risk assessment.
Intellend has already partnered with multiple merchant ecosystems that collectively serve over one lakh merchants, facilitating access to structured and affordable credit for businesses that often face limited formal lending options.
The startup plans to expand partnerships with additional merchant platforms and financial institutions while broadening its lending product suite.
