Leading home design brand HomeLane.com has today announced its market expansion in two new cities - Kolkata and Pune. The start-up plans to invest INR 15 crores to boost business and brand in the new markets and aims to deliver 1000 homes in both cities in the next one year.
With Pune and Kolkata, HomeLane will be now 7 cities and 10 experience centres strong. The startup is already strengthening its market presence by doubling its experience centers in the existing markets. HomeLane also plans to add 200 interior designers from the two cities.
Close to 25000 new units are expected to come up for possession in Kolkata and Pune this year. This translates to a Rs. 1000Cr+ annual market for home interiors in both these cities.
Srikanth Iyer, co-founder & CEO, HomeLane says, “The growing consumer demand for quality living among urban Indians is what propelled us to consider Kolkata and Pune as potential markets. We have been noticing huge demand among the design conscious new homeowners in both Pune and Kolkata and we are expecting a huge volume of business coming from these two cities. We had closed FY 2018-19 with an ARR of 400% higher than last year and expect to double the numbers by the end of this year."
HomeLane.com had launched its proprietary virtual design platform, SpaceCraft in early 2017, which has boosted its business manifold. SpaceCraft not only facilitates e-meetings and virtual designing of the homes in 3-D but also comes with an in-built pricing engine which enables the customers to keep a track of the project pricing in real time. The removal of design gaps and reduction in iteration time has led to faster project finalization, cutting the ticketing window from 30-45 days to a mere 7 days. HomeLane has seen a whopping 300% growth in business with SpaceCraft in use.
