WeHouse plans to move beyond individual homes to communities and villas following its latest funding round, founder and chief executive officer of the Hyderabad-based property technology platform Sripad Nandiraj has told Moneycontrol.
The company recently raised Rs 25 crore in Series A funding and plans to use the money to expand tech-driven home construction across the country.
“With this new raise, we’re planning to expand beyond individual homes. Probably target communities, villa communities alongside builders. So we’re trying to collaborate with some of them too,” Nandiraj said.
Fresh capital will be directed towards scaling operations, upgrading technology, and expanding into new cities, with Coimbatore and Ahmedabad launches scheduled this month.
“It’s going to be expansion into new cities and build up the order book. Fortunately, we’ve also collaborated with Franchise India and while Ahmedabad and Coimbatore are slated to open very soon, followed by Chandigarh and Jaipur as well,” he said.
WeHouse differentiates itself from other proptech platforms by focusing solely on individual home construction rather than offering generic project management solutions.
Its technology is built for plot owners who are looking to build their homes, providing end-to-end visibility into the construction process. The platform integrates finance tracking, timeline management, and milestone-based progress updates.
Proptech is increasingly transforming the construction sector through data and digital tools.
“AI makes the operations smoother, more efficient and faster. For example, when you have a schedule for a project and due to unforeseen circumstances, there’s a delay, the system recalculates timelines and tells you what to do. All these re-automatic calculations become much easier,” Nandiraj said.
He also outlined the key pain points that WeHouse addresses. “There is no price escalation and there are no hidden charges. The second promise is the timeline. You end up paying additional EMIs or losing rent if delayed. And the third main point is quality – you are paying the right price for the right quality,” he said.
The company does not see itself as directly competing with traditional contractors. “We are giving them a platform to operate on. Of course, local market is always a competition but the residential market itself is $268 billion, and we will definitely need at least three to five players at a national scale,” he said.
