Chapter Home has secured fresh funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, Stride Ventures, Tanmay Bhat and other investors at a valuation nearing Rs 1,000 crore. The capital will support new product categories, brand development and a wider retail presence.

Chapter Home, a home and kitchen consumer brands company founded by former PharmEasy executives, has raised Rs 63 crore in a funding round combining equity and debt. The investment comes as the young company prepares to expand beyond its first home furnishings brand, HOKIPO, and build a presence across online and offline retail channels.

The round saw participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Stride Ventures, content creator and investor Tanmay Bhat, and a group of other investors. The funding values Chapter Home at close to Rs 1,000 crore.

The company plans to deploy the fresh capital towards product development, entering additional home and kitchen categories, marketing, brand building and strengthening its distribution network. Establishing physical retail touchpoints is also part of its expansion plans.

Former PharmEasy Executives Behind Chapter Home

Founded in 2025, Chapter Home was established by Nitin Chugh, Akarsh Bharadwaj, Shrey Mittal, Dhiraj Jain and Dheeraj Goyal.

The founders were previously associated with the founding and leadership team of PharmEasy before moving into the home and kitchen consumer products business.

Unlike a business focused on a single product category, Chapter Home is developing multiple consumer brands across segments such as bed and table linen, cookware, home furnishings and small kitchen appliances.

Its operating model brings sourcing, supply chain management, technology, content and distribution together on a shared platform, allowing different brands to use the same underlying infrastructure.

HOKIPO Leads the Company’s Entry Into Home Furnishings

Chapter Home has entered the consumer market through HOKIPO, its online home furnishings brand and the first category launched under the company.

The brand is the starting point for Chapter Home’s wider plans in the household products segment. The company intends to introduce more categories while expanding the channels through which its products reach customers.

Its distribution strategy includes online marketplaces, quick commerce platforms, its own direct-to-consumer channel and offline retail stores.

The proposed offline expansion marks an additional step for a business that has initially entered the market through an online brand. It would give Chapter Home another channel for reaching customers alongside its existing digital approach.

Shared Infrastructure and AI Form Part of the Operating Strategy

Technology is another component of Chapter Home’s business model.

The company uses artificial intelligence for product cataloguing, content creation, demand forecasting, product development, customer targeting and retention.

These functions sit alongside its shared sourcing, supply chain and distribution systems, which are designed to support consumer brands operating in different product categories.

Rather than building separate operational systems for every brand, Chapter Home’s approach centres on common infrastructure for its portfolio.

What’s Next for Chapter Home?

With Rs 63 crore in fresh funding, Chapter Home’s immediate priorities include expanding its product portfolio, developing its brands and establishing a broader distribution network.

The company is also working towards setting up physical retail touchpoints while pursuing sales across marketplaces, quick commerce, direct-to-consumer channels and offline stores.
