A Mumbai-based quick commerce enablement startup, Inamo, has raised USD 8 million in a Series A funding round led by Prime Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Shastra VC, Antler India, and Gemba Capital.

The round includes USD 6 million in equity and USD 2 million in venture debt.

The startup had previously raised USD 3 million in a seed round led by Shastra VC, with backing from Antler India, Gemba Capital, and Scope Promoters.

Founded in 2024 by Sumit Anand and Rupesh Thakare, the startup offers a modular full-stack solution that helps brands and marketplaces manage quick commerce operations. Its platform provides infrastructure for dark store management, last-mile delivery, and inventory systems, aiming to simplify fulfillment challenges such as inventory duplication and fragmented demand.

The fresh capital will be used to expand its dark store network, onboard more brands, and enter new product categories. The startup also plans to strengthen its technology and operations while improving access to quick commerce infrastructure for partner brands.

Currently, Inamo claims to process about 1.8 million orders per month and operates more than 80 dark stores across six metro cities. Within 18 months, the startup has expanded rapidly and reported significant revenue growth.

It plans to scale to over 200 outlets across 10 cities by the end of 2026 while supporting expansion into additional markets.
