Bengaluru-based Fixxly has raised $5.5 million in seed funding led by Accel, with Fireside Ventures and Lightspeed India Partners joining the round. The startup is applying quick commerce logic to a category nobody’s cracked yet: building materials. Founded in 2026 by Shezan Bhojani — who previously co-founded home-interiors startup DesignCafe before its 2024 merger with HomeLane — and Sachith Varma, who brings operating experience from Zepto and Flipkart, Fixxly plans to go live on September 1, starting in Bengaluru before expanding to Hyderabad and Mumbai.

The India angle here is about fixing a genuinely unglamorous but expensive problem. Construction and renovation sites routinely lose paid working hours because a single item — a specific plywood grade, a plumbing fitting — didn’t arrive on time. Procurement in this category has stayed almost entirely offline, run through fragmented local dealers with no real delivery guarantees. Fixxly is betting that the same rapid-delivery infrastructure that reshaped grocery shopping in Indian metros can now solve a much larger, B2B-leaning problem: keeping contractors, electricians, and painters from losing a full day’s labor over one missing item.

For context: this was one of eleven India-linked funding announcements this week, as AI-focused rounds led total capital deployed even as most deals stayed concentrated at the seed and Series A stage — a pattern that’s held through much of 2026 as investors favor smaller, more targeted early bets over large late-stage rounds.
