Indian startups across consumer products, wealth management, food, jewellery and financial information have raised fresh capital. The funding rounds show that investors are backing both fast-growing brands and focused platforms solving everyday problems.

Here is a simple look at the five deals, their business models and how they plan to use the money.

DailyObjects raises Rs. 332 crore at Rs. 1,050 crore valuation

As discussed in earlier article, lifestyle accessories brand DailyObjects has now raised Rs. 332 crore in a Series C round led by Xponentia Capital Partners, Anicut Capital and Axiom Asia Private Capital. The round values the company at around Rs. 1,050 crore after the investment. It includes both fresh capital for the company and a secondary transaction that allowed early investor Roots Ventures to sell part of its holding.

Founded in 2012 by Pankaj Garg and Saurav Adlakha, DailyObjects sells phone cases, bags, wallets, charging products and other design-focused lifestyle accessories.

The company plans to use the funds to open 150 standalone stores in India over the next five years, improve its research and development capabilities and explore international retail markets. Its competition includes brands such as DailyObjects, The Souled Store, Chumbak and global accessory companies.

Zomint raises Rs. 36 crore for digital wealth management

Wealthtech startup Zomint has raised Rs. 36 crore from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Prime Venture Partners. Founded in September 2025 by Aman Mittal and Shavir Bansal, the company is building a wealth platform for young professionals and families.

Zomint is focused on investors whose savings may be too small for traditional wealth management firms. The funding will help it expand investment advisory services and develop tools that make financial planning easier for retail investors.

Its competitors include Groww, Zerodha, Kuvera and other digital investment platforms. Zomint’s focus is closer to guided wealth management than simple trading.

The Dough Therapy raises Rs. 5.25 crore

Gourmet pizza brand The Dough Therapy raised Rs. 5.25 crore in its first institutional seed round at a valuation of Rs. 35 crore. Michigan Capital Advisors led the round, with participation from Equiglobe Investment.

Founded in 2020 by Abhishek Dedhia, Mohit Chheda and Gaurav Majrekar, the company has grown from one Mumbai outlet to 10 outlets.

Around 60% of the funding will support expansion. The rest will go towards marketing, supply chain systems, centralized operations and kitchen technology. The brand plans to reach 20 outlets and enter more cities through company-owned stores, dine-in formats and selected franchise partnerships.

It competes with gourmet pizza chains such as La Pino’z Pizza, Tossin Pizza and Brik Oven.

Zinara raises Rs. 3.61 crore for lab-grown diamond jewellery

Lab-grown diamond jewellery brand Zinara has raised Rs. 3.61 crore in a pre-seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures. Nine Jewellery, actor Nikita Dutta and other angel investors also participated.

Founded by IIT Delhi alumni Harshit Abrol and Sumanyu Vyas, Zinara wants to make lab-grown diamond jewellery suitable for regular purchases, not only weddings or special events.

The company will use the money to hire more employees, strengthen marketing and improve its supply chain. It competes with brands such as Mia by Tanishq, CaratLane and other lab-grown diamond jewellery startups.

MoneyTruVa raises undisclosed seed funding

MoneyTruVa has raised an undisclosed seed round from investors including Sunil Singhania and entrepreneur Raj Shamani. The startup is building a structured financial information platform for Indian investors.

The platform plans to organize information from company filings, news reports and social media so users can understand business developments more easily. Its broader aim is to help investors make better-informed decisions.

The company’s funding purpose and founder details were not fully disclosed in the reports available. It will operate in a space that includes financial research platforms, market-data services and investment education companies.

Conclusion with key takeaways

These five funding rounds cover very different sectors. DailyObjects is moving deeper into offline retail, Zomint is targeting younger wealth customers, The Dough Therapy is expanding its food network, Zinara is building a modern jewellery brand and MoneyTruVa is simplifying financial information.

Together, the deals show that startup investors are looking beyond just software. Consumer brands, financial platforms and specialized businesses are also attracting capital when they can show a clear customer need and a practical path to growth.

Disclaimer

Funding amounts, valuations, business plans and company claims are based on media reports and statements from the startups or investors. Future results may differ.

DailyObjects is reportedly in talks to raise Rs. 350 crore in a new funding round led by Xponentia Capital and Anicut Capital. The Gurugram-based brand is known for design-led lifestyle and tech accessories, including phone cases, laptop sleeves, bags, wallets, desk products and everyday carry items.

The proposed round may value DailyObjects at around Rs. 1,000 crore. The transaction is expected to include both primary capital and secondary share sale by existing investors. Since the deal is still in discussion, the final amount, valuation and investor mix may change before closing.

What DailyObjects does

DailyObjects was founded in 2012 by Pankaj Garg and Saurav Adlakha.

The brand started with customized phone cases and later expanded into a wider lifestyle accessories company.

Today, DailyObjects sells products across categories such as mobile accessories, laptop accessories, bags, wallets, charging solutions, desk organizers and home-office products. Its main focus is design, utility and personal expression.

For example, a customer may not want a plain phone cover or basic laptop sleeve. DailyObjects tries to offer products that look stylish but still solve daily needs. This mix of function and design is what separates it from ordinary accessory sellers.

Funding purpose

The reported Rs. 350 crore round is expected to help DailyObjects expand its product line and improve distribution access. In simple words, the company wants to reach more customers with more products across more channels.

This could mean deeper online presence, more marketplace sales, offline retail expansion or stronger supply chain systems. For a D2C brand, distribution is very important because customers now discover products through many places – websites, marketplaces, social media, quick-commerce apps and retail stores.

As per Mint, the Rainmaker Group is advising the company on this transaction.

Why investors are interested

India’s lifestyle accessories market is growing because young buyers see gadgets and daily-use items as part of their personal style. A phone case, laptop bag or desk accessory is no longer just a utility product. For many Gen Z and millennial customers, it is also a style statement.

DailyObjects fits this trend well. The brand is not only selling accessories; it is selling a more polished everyday look. That gives it room to grow if it can keep product quality, pricing and design fresh.

Funding history so far

DailyObjects has raised funding earlier from investors such as SeedFund, Unilazer Ventures, Phanindra Sama and Peyush Bansal, as per YourStory. The company has raised more than $13 million till date across multiple rounds, as per Inc42 data.

In September 2024, DailyObjects raised $10 million in Series B funding led by 360 ONE Asset. That round helped the brand strengthen its growth journey before the latest reported discussions.

Competitors and market view

DailyObjects competes with brands such as The Souled Store, Chumbak, Mokobara, DailyObjects-like marketplace sellers, and several D2C accessory brands on Amazon, Myntra and Nykaa Fashion. In tech accessories, it also faces competition from low-cost mobile accessory sellers.

Its advantage lies in design consistency and brand recall. But the challenge is also clear – customers have many choices, and pricing pressure can be strong in accessories.
