Indian quick-commerce enablement platform Inamo has secured $8 million in a Series A funding round led by Prime Venture Partners to scale its dark store network and deepen its technology stack.
The funding round, which comprises $6 million in equity and $2 million in venture debt, also saw participation from returning investors Shastra VC, Antler India, and Gemba Capital.
Founded in 2024 by Sumit Anand (ex-Dunzo, Ola) and Rupesh Thakare (ex-Goldman Sachs, Ninjacart, Apnaklub), Inamo provides a plug-and-play infrastructure-as-a-service model for quick-commerce platforms and online marketplaces.
The startup manages the logistical backbone—ranging from warehousing and fulfillment to a dedicated last-mile fleet—allowing brands to avoid inventory duplication and scale profitably with minimal upfront investment.
“The future of quick commerce will be shaped by better technology and smarter network design. By solving core challenges such as inventory placement and demand aggregation, we aim to make quick commerce more efficient and accessible for brands," said Rupesh Thakare, Co-founder, Inamo, in a statement.
"This investment allows us to accelerate our technology roadmap and build long-term infrastructure for the ecosystem," he added.
The capital will be deployed to accelerate brand onboarding, enter new product categories, and expand Inamo’s geographical footprint.
Currently, Inamo operates more than 80 dark stores across six metro cities. It aims to expand into 10 new cities and surpass 200 dark stores by the end of 2026.
The company says it processes over 1.8 million orders monthly and has seen its annual recurring revenue grow more than 10x over the last 10 months. It earlier raised $3 million in seed funding in September last year.
"Quick commerce has permanently reset consumer expectations. What’s lagging isn’t demand, but the infrastructure supporting it. Established brands and platforms are still recalibrating their legacy fulfilment models for a channel that requires speed and data integration by design. Inamo is building that backbone to modernise systems by providing purpose-built full-stack capabilities in quick commerce," said Sumit Anand, Co-founder & CEO, Inamo.
"That structural shift will help brands, both current and new, scale up faster and will define how brands compete in this next phase of retail," he added.
