A delivery-first pizza brand, a printed-menswear label, a sports retail platform and a rehabilitation-tech company may appear unrelated. Yet, their latest funding moves point to a familiar investor theme which is businesses solving everyday Indian needs with a sharper product and a clear plan to grow.

Hundo Pizza has raised Rs. 7.5 crore in its first institutional funding round led by Titan Capital. At the same time, QB MEN, PlayBlue and Rymo Technologies have also drawn investor attention at different early stages.

Hundo Pizza plans to grow beyond Mumbai

Mumbai-based Hundo Pizza was founded in 2020 by Kabir Moorjani and Ronak Rajani. It runs a delivery-first model, serving hand-tossed pizzas, garlic bread and pasta instead of operating a traditional dine-in restaurant.

The company’s Rs. 7.5 crore round was led by Titan Capital, with participation from Indian Silicon Valley Capital, Ankur Rangnekar, Akshay Rangnekar and Haresh Chawla. Reports showing that the company plans to strengthen production, technology and its team while preparing to enter a new city.

A major part of the plan is a 5,000 sq. ft. central kitchen in Andheri East. This can help the brand prepare dough and key ingredients in one controlled location, making it easier to maintain the same taste across outlets. Hundo also plans to use connected systems to track equipment such as ovens and refrigeration units.

Its biggest rivals include Domino’s, La Pino’z Pizza, Pizza Hut and independent premium pizza brands. Hundo’s challenge is simple: keep quality consistent while growing fast enough to build repeat orders in a new city.

QB MEN bets on distinctive everyday fashion

Jaipur-based QB MEN has secured a pre-seed round led by BeyondSeed, with Rajkot Ventures and Prajay Advisors joining the investment. The round size has not been disclosed.

Founded in 2020 by Yash Bothra, QB MEN sells printed shirts, kurtas, jackets and co-ord sets that mix Indian-inspired prints with modern cuts. The company follows a smaller-batch approach, using customer response before increasing production. Report identifies the brand as a Jaipur D2C menswear startup.

The new funding will focus on content, customer experience, brand-building, retention marketing and wider distribution. Its competition comes from D2C fashion labels, marketplace sellers and established menswear brands. For QB MEN, the real task is turning first-time buyers into regular customers.

PlayBlue wants to organize sports retail

Bengaluru-based PlayBlue was founded in 2025 by Satyam Trivedi and Jayam Vora. The company raised a $2.7 million seed round earlier this year from Centre Court Capital, MIXI Global and WEH Ventures to build its sports retail platform and launch flagship stores.

The business recently added cricketer KL Rahul as an investor and brand ambassador. PlayBlue plans to combine equipment, footwear, apparel, testing services and community spaces under one roof. Its competitors include Decathlon, Sports Station and online sports sellers.

Rymo aims to make rehabilitation more accessible

Mumbai-based Rymo Technologies, founded in 2020 by Chirag Shah and Abhishek Rai, develops robotic and AI-assisted rehabilitation tools for patients recovering from neurological and orthopaedic conditions.

Early-stage fund 1Crowd has added Rymo to its healthcare portfolio. The investment amount was not disclosed. Rymo’s products aim to help clinics provide technology-supported physiotherapy without relying entirely on expensive imported equipment.
