“Established brands and platforms are still recalibrating their legacy fulfilment models for a channel that requires speed and data integration by design. We are building that backbone to modernise systems by providing purpose-built full-stack capabilities in quick commerce,” said Anand, the firm’s chief executive, who was previously with Dunzo, ola, and ApnaKlub.

“Many brands use their ecommerce tech stack for quick commerce, and there is a clear need for a stack suitable for quick commerce. So, we will continue to invest in our tech,” said Thakare, who has earlier worked with Goldman Sachs, ninjacart, and ApnaKlub.

Commenting on the funding, Brij Bhushan, managing partner, Prime Venture Partners, said in a statement, “Inamo is building critical infrastructure for the next wave of e-commerce in India. Their ability to combine deep operational execution with a modular technology stack while scaling rapidly makes them uniquely positioned in a large, fast-growing market.”
