The Bengaluru-based startup plans to use the funding to expand its operations and grow its home store and financial services offering.
Approximately $3.6 million was raised in debt financing from a deal, when bike-rental platform Vogo raised debt this week, led by Alteria Capital.
The company expects to leverage this investment to grow rapidly across India. Earlier, in March, it had raised funding from Flipkart Co-founder Sachin Bansal.

Leegality, an e-signing and digital document workflow platform, raised an undisclosed amount in funding from Mumbai Angels Network, Chandigarh Angels, and HNIs. The Gurugram-based startup will use the funds to enhance their technology, scale operations, and accelerate growth.
