Quick commerce enablement startup Inamo has raised $8 million in a Series A round led by Prime Venture Partners, as firms look for plug-and-play infrastructure to participate in rapid delivery without building their fulfilment networks.

The round comprises $6 million in equity and $2 million in venture debt, with participation from existing investors Shastra VC, Antler India and Gemba Capital.

Founded in 2024, Inamo provides a full-stack platform that supports brands, marketplaces and quick commerce operators with warehousing, inventory placement and fulfilment capabilities designed for ultra-fast delivery.

The fresh capital will be used to expand its dark store network, onboard more brands and strengthen its technology and operations stack, the company said. It plans to enter 10 additional cities and scale its footprint to more than 200 dark stores by the end of 2026.

Within 18 months of launch, Inamo has expanded to six metro cities and is processing over 1.8 million orders a month. The company said its annual recurring revenue has grown more than 10x over the past 10 months compared with March 2025. It currently operates over 80 dark stores.

“Quick commerce has permanently reset consumer expectations. What’s lagging isn’t demand but the infrastructure supporting it,” Inamo co-founder and CEO Sumit Anand said. “Established brands and platforms are still recalibrating their legacy fulfilment models for a channel that requires speed and data integration by design.”

Inamo aims to help brands scale on quick commerce platforms with lower upfront investment by reducing inventory duplication and aggregating demand across locations.

“The future of quick commerce will be shaped by better technology and smarter network design,” Inamo co-founder Rupesh Thakare said. “By solving core challenges such as inventory placement and demand aggregation, we aim to make quick commerce more efficient and accessible for brands.”

The company raised $3 million in seed funding in September led by Shastra VC, with participation from Antler India, Gemba Capital and Scope Promoters.

Prime Venture Partners said the investment reflects growing demand for infrastructure-layer players in India’s fast-evolving quick commerce market. “Inamo is building critical infrastructure for the next wave of e-commerce in India,” Prime Venture Partners managing partner Brij Bhushan.

The fundraise comes as quick commerce companies rapidly expand dark store networks and push into new categories, creating demand for specialised fulfilment and technology partners that can help brands adapt to the speed and complexity of the channel without replicating costly supply chains.
