Brick&Bolt has raised a total of $16 million with this investment round. Earlier, the company raised approximately $6 million from Sequoia Surge, Foundamental, HDFC Capital Advisors, and Stride Ventures.

Jayesh Rajpurohit, Co-founder of Brick&Bolt, said, “We are extremely pleased to onboard seasoned investors, including Accel and Celesta Capital, as valuable partners in our journey to expansion."
“The Indian real estate is earmarked to be a $650 billion market in 2025 and a $1 trillion worth sector in 2030. With 85%+ construction still unorganised in India, Brick&Bolt is on a path to capture the massive and super-broken market using our technology and processes. This investment will help us accelerate growth as we look to expand in other cities and add more senior leadership to the team.”
