ProjectHero, a construction tech startup has introduced HomeRun, a quick commerce platform offering 60-minute delivery of construction materials. HomeRun caters to contractors, professionals and homeowners and currently delivers to around 800 SKUs across 76 pin codes in Bengaluru.
HomeRun addresses the problems faced by customers who typically depend on local retailers and vendors for ad hoc construction material supplies of cement, hardware, plywood, etc — this is a time-consuming and logistical nightmare, with no tracking or visibility around pricing or availability.
Additionally, HomeRun supports on-demand material delivery directly to construction sites, ensuring quick access to supplies needed unexpectedly or at short notice.
The platform currently has two live dark stores in Bengaluru, with three more coming up in the next two months.
ProjectHero has previously raised $3.6 million from Ankur Capital, Omidyar Network, and Titan Capital.
“Quick commerce has disrupted everything from groceries to gadgets. Now, we’re bringing that same game-changing speed & customer experience to construction. HomeRun isn’t just a platform; it’s how we are solving the massive inefficiencies in material procurement for the contractors and homeowners,” said Satya Vyas, Founder of HomeRun.
Krishnan Neelakantan, Partner at Ankur Capital, said, “ProjectHero’s entry into quick commerce via HomeRun, addresses a critical gap in the construction market – a sector where delays can have significant cost implications. Satya and his team are leveraging their extensive domain experience and strong insights around buyer behavior in the segment and have seen strong initial traction at HomeRun.”
