Chapter Home Raises Rs 63 Crore From Bessemer and Stride Ventures

Chapter Home, a startup that builds home and kitchen brands, has raised Rs 63 crore in a mix of equity and debt. The round values the company at close to Rs 1,000 crore, a big number for a business that only started in 2025.

Bessemer Venture Partners and Stride Ventures led the round. Comedian and creator Tanmay Bhat and a group of family offices also invested.

What Chapter Home does

Most home brands try to sell everything under one name. Chapter Home does the opposite: it builds a separate, focused brand for each part of the home, from furnishings to kitchen products, and runs them all on one shared backbone for sourcing, technology and distribution.

Its first brand is HOKIPO, which sells home furnishings online. The company uses AI across the business, for product listings, content, demand forecasting and reaching the right customers, which it says helps each new brand launch faster and at lower cost.

Chapter Home's journey so far

What the founder and investor said

"The home and kitchen market in India remains highly fragmented despite being a very large consumer opportunity."

"Consumers are increasingly looking for better-designed products, trusted quality, strong functionality and a superior overall experience, online and in store, and we see a meaningful opportunity to build for those needs. That is why we are building focused brands for each category across Home & Kitchen."

"Chapter Home's approach of building a focused brand for each part of the home on a shared technology, sourcing and distribution backbone fits how this market actually works."

Where the money will go

Chapter Home will spend the money on building products, moving into new categories and opening its first physical stores, so customers can see and touch the products before buying.

Why this deal matters

Home and kitchen is a huge category in India, but it is still split across thousands of small sellers and unbranded products. A team that has already built a large consumer business at PharmEasy is betting that well-made, focused brands can win trust in that crowded market.

What to watch next

Watch for Chapter Home's next brands after HOKIPO and how its first physical stores perform, since offline retail is where many online-first home brands find their growth.
