The Indian home improvement sector is undergoing a radical change with contemporary startups introducing novelty in the conventional hardware markets. Lorazzo, a home improvement startup, has recently successfully raised ₹5 crore during the seed round. This injection of capital is a turning point for the young company as it tries to find a firmer grip in the kitchen and bathroom fittings market. The funding round was led by Sprout Venture Partners and First Cheque by India Quotient. It is an indication of a high level of confidence that investors had in the brand to create a breakthrough in a long-established, fragmented industry.

Capital utlization and investors participation

Several other investors were drawn to the investment round. Other co-investors with Sprout Venture Partners and First Cheque were the Chandigarh Angel Network and a few individual angel investors. This mutual backing offers Lorazzo not just the financial runway it requires but also access to a pool of consultants and industry know-how.

The presence of such high-profile venture companies and angel networks underscores the increased interest in the startups that are focused on a particular, more localized issue in the Indian consumer market. With this seed capital, Lorazzo is well-positioned to leave behind its initial operational period and embark on a more aggressive growth path.

The seed round proceeds have been allocated towards several areas of business development that are important. Lorazzo intends to use the capital to fast-track its product innovation, which means that its products will always be at the forefront of design and functionality. A major fraction of the capital will be channelled into enhancing the design and technology stack of the company.

The expected technological improvement will simplify the processes and improve customer experience. The company also intends to expand its omnichannel presence in India, which will mean its products will be available to consumers in the digital ecosystem as well as in physical touchpoints to form a holistic retail ecosystem.
