National, October 13, 2026: wudhomes, a Bengaluru-based home-furnishing startup founded by Vasu Arneja and Aditya Singh, has raised ₹2.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by AJVC, founded by Aviral Bhatnagar. The round also saw participation from Seekho co-founders Rohit Choudhary, Keertay Agarwal, and Yash Banwani, along with other angel investors.
The company will use the funds to build a vertically integrated supply chain, develop in-house technology, strengthen its retail experience, and enhance operational capabilities to connect different stages of the home-furnishing journey.
Bridging Inspiration and Fulfilment
For consumers, creating a home often begins with inspiration from social media, design platforms, showrooms, or recommendations. Translating these ideas into cohesive living spaces involves multiple decisions:
- Determining what works within available space
- Identifying complementary pieces
- Balancing design preferences with budgets
- Evaluating alternatives
- Coordinating purchases and delivery
These decisions often span multiple platforms, retailers, designers, and vendors, leaving customers to connect the elements themselves.
wudhomes is building its business around this gap – connecting inspiration, product discovery, curation, personalisation, and fulfilment. Its approach helps customers navigate decisions holistically rather than treating each purchase as a separate transaction.
Integrated Model and Customer Touchpoints
Furniture is the company’s starting category, with broader ambitions across the entire home-furnishing process. Its integrated model combines:
- Digital inspiration
- Personalised product curation
- Spatial visualisation
- Physical retail
- Home visits
- Vertically integrated supply chain
In recent months, wudhomes has furnished over 200 homes, opened a retail outlet on Sarjapur Road in Bengaluru, and introduced a home-visit service where consultants assess customer spaces and recommend suitable furnishing options.
Vasu Arneja & Aditya Singh, Co-founders of wudhomes, said: “We believe there is an opportunity to build a much larger business around home furnishing than traditional retail has allowed for. Today, customers have to navigate multiple platforms, stores and vendors to bring their homes together. At wudhomes, we’re building a model that brings together inspiration, design, technology, physical retail and an integrated supply chain into one connected journey, with the potential to change how the category works and how it scales.”
Aviral Bhatnagar, AJVC, added: “wudhomes is approaching home furnishing as an end-to-end customer experience rather than just a product category. By bringing together digital discovery, curation and visualisation with physical retail and home visits, the team is addressing the gap between finding inspiration and actually creating a home. We believe this integrated model has the potential to build a differentiated business in a large, underserved market.”
Strategic Outlook
The pre-seed funding will support the development of technology, supply-chain, and operational infrastructure to connect these stages. Over time, wudhomes aims to expand beyond furniture to address more decisions and requirements involved in furnishing a home.
The company has not disclosed its valuation, revenue, or expansion timeline.
