Digital real estate platform Stake secures $31 Mn to accelerate global expansion

Rami Tabbara, Ricardo Brizido & Manar Mahmassani, co-founders, Stake

Stake, the region’s leading digital real estate investment platform, has announced the successful closure of its oversubscribed Series B funding round, raising USD 31 million. The round was led by Emirates NBD, with participation from prominent regional and global investors, including the MENA Venture Capital Fund at Mubadala Investment Company, Middle East Venture Partners, Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties.

This investment marks a major milestone in Stake’s evolution as a regulated fintech platform that modernises how investors access, own, and invest in real estate across borders. As a result, Stake continues to position itself as a critical infrastructure layer that connects global capital to high-quality real estate markets amid rising demand for transparent and regulated real-asset exposure.

With this round completed, Stake’s total funding has now reached USD 58 million. Consequently, the company has reinforced its standing as one of the fastest-growing fintech platforms in the Middle East.

Commenting on the investment, Neeraj Makin, Group Head – Strategy, Analytics, and Venture Capital at Emirates NBD, stated, “Real estate remains a foundational component of global investment portfolios, yet there is an opportunity to improve how many investors access and gain transparency into these assets. Stake’s technology and regulatory infrastructure are built to streamline these processes and make sophisticated real estate investment more approachable. Our strategic investment in Stake represents a significant step in expanding our digital investment capabilities, directly aligning with our ambition to be a digital leader in the region. Through our Innovation Fund, we are committed to making such strategic investments and fostering a culture of innovation. We recognise the growing demand for accessible real estate investment opportunities, and Stake’s platform provides a robust, compliant, and scalable solution that we are proud to support.”

Sharing his perspective, Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, said, “This round is more than capital. It is validation of a mission we have poured our lives into. To have institutions like Emirates NBD, Mubadala, Property Finder, MEVP, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, STV, and Ellington Properties join us is a reminder that our region believes in ambitious ideas and in the power of technology to transform industries. Together, we are building the infrastructure for a new era of real estate ownership, one where borders do not limit opportunity and where every person, regardless of background, can participate in real estate wealth creation. This is just the beginning of what Stake will unlock.”

Saudi Arabia represents Stake’s most immediate and strategic growth market, supported by regulatory first-mover advantage and accelerating international capital inflows. In Q4 2024, Stake became the first CMA-regulated investment platform to open Saudi Arabia’s property market to global investors. Since then, the company has closed three real estate funds in the Kingdom, attracted 6,930 international investors, and channelled more than SAR 416 million into the local real estate sector.

Expanding on this strategy, Manar Mahmassani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, said, “Saudi Arabia is a strategic growth market for us, and this round allows us to deepen our investment in the Kingdom by expanding our local capabilities and scaling our CMA-regulated offering to meet growing demand from both regional and international investors. We are committed to being a long-term partner to the market, helping channel capital into high-quality opportunities while supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to broaden foreign investment to the masses.”

Beyond the GCC, Stake is actively advancing its global expansion strategy. In October 2025, the company entered the U.S. industrial real estate market, one of the world’s most resilient asset classes. Early traction has validated Stake’s cross-border model, as investor demand for income-generating U.S. assets continues to grow.

At the same time, Stake has expanded its product suite. In October 2025, the company launched StakeOne, a product designed to digitise full property ownership and after-sales asset management. The offering provides access to premium Dubai properties, including assets from developers such as Emaar, Ellington Properties, and Dubai Holding, while introducing streamlined ownership structures.

In parallel, Stake is advancing regulated real estate tokenisation in collaboration with Property Finder. The company has already received In-Principle Approval (IPA) from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), enabling fractional and tradeable exposure to high-demand assets.

Commenting on the investment, Ali Eid AlMheiri, Executive Director at Mubadala Investment Company, said, “At Mubadala, through our MENA Venture Capital Fund, we are committed to advancing economic growth and diversification by supporting innovative, high-potential platforms across the MENA region. Our investment in Stake reflects this commitment, as we back businesses that demonstrate strong fundamentals, disciplined execution, and the ability to scale sustainably as a real estate investment platform in the MENA region.”

Additionally, Joseph Thomas, Co-Founder of Ellington Properties, stated, “At Ellington, we have always believed that the future of real estate lies at the intersection of design excellence and intelligent capital access. Stake is redefining how investors participate in real estate ownership through a regulated, technology-led model that aligns with the evolving expectations of a global audience. Our participation in this round reflects our confidence in platforms that enhance transparency, broaden access, and elevate the overall investment experience. As the industry continues to digitise, we see significant value in supporting infrastructure that responsibly expands real estate participation while maintaining quality and long-term vision.”

With more than 2 million users from 211 nationalities across 181 countries, the platform has firmly established itself as a global leader in digital real estate investing. As Stake scales across regulated markets and launches innovative products, it is redefining how people worldwide access and create real estate wealth.

Quick commerce startup HomeRun secures $6.6 Mn to expand dark stores and enter new cities

Pukhraj Grewal, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, HomeRun

Quick commerce platform for construction and home-improvement materials, HomeRun, has secured Rs 60 crore ($6.6 million) in a funding round led by Sorin Investments, with participation from Titan Capital Winners Fund, Sparrow Capital, Consumer Collective by Atrium, and Helios Holdings.

Founded in 2024, the Bengaluru-based startup focuses on delivering construction and renovation materials within 60 to 90 minutes, thereby addressing a long-standing efficiency gap in the sector. Moreover, its wide range of stock-keeping units (SKUs) includes cement, plywood, electrical items, plumbing supplies, hardware, adhesives, and finishing products, which enables the platform to serve both homeowners and contractors effectively.

According to founder and chief executive officer Pukhraj Grewal, the company will deploy the fresh capital to expand into new cities, introduce additional product categories, and strengthen its fulfillment technology. He explained, “We want to open more dark stores to go deeper within Bengaluru, expand on the engineering front, and improve supply chain efficiency.” Notably, Grewal previously founded ProjectHero, a marketplace focused on construction workers, which adds to his experience in the building ecosystem.

At present, HomeRun processes nearly 200–250 orders each day. Furthermore, the platform maintains a high average order value (AOV) of approximately Rs 7,000 per order. Emphasizing this momentum, Grewal stated, “We have a high average order value (AOV) of around Rs 7,000 per order, which translates to a significantly high daily business for us.”

Currently, the company operates five dark stores across Bengaluru. In addition, it plans to launch six to ten more dark stores by the end of the year to deepen market penetration. Subsequently, after strengthening its city-level operations, HomeRun intends to expand into new markets, including Hyderabad and Pune.

Commenting on the investment, Subeer Monga, partner at Sorin Investments, highlighted the structural challenges in the sector. He noted, “The retail market for building materials in India remains highly fragmented, opaque, and unreliable, despite its size. HomeRun is addressing a mission-critical gap by bringing speed, trust, and predictability to procurement, particularly for homeowners and small contractors, where delays directly translate into higher costs.”

Meanwhile, the rapid-delivery business model continues to gain traction across multiple sectors. For instance, former Nexus Venture Partners vice president Komal Solanki recently launched the 10-minute beauty services platform Dazzl in Bengaluru. Similarly, the rapid house-help services space is witnessing strong momentum, as platforms such as Pronto and Snabbit raise fresh capital. At the same time, quick fashion delivery startups like Knot and Slikk are actively expanding their presence across new cities.

HomeRun’s latest funding round underscores growing investor confidence in quick commerce models beyond groceries and food delivery. By combining speed, reliability, and a focused approach to construction and home-improvement materials, the startup is well-positioned to scale across major Indian cities and redefine procurement for homeowners and contractors alike.

WeWork India opens new managed workspace in Gurugram to meet corporate demand

0

WeWork India Management Ltd has opened a new co-working centre in Gurugram, thereby expanding its footprint to meet the rising demand for flexible and managed office spaces. Notably, the new facility offers more than 1,200 seats across a 90,000 sq ft area, reinforcing the company’s growth strategy in key commercial hubs.

In a regulatory filing on Monday, the company confirmed the launch of its latest centre, “WeWork Atrium Place,” located in Udyog Vihar, Gurugram. Through this addition, WeWork India continues to strengthen its presence in one of India’s most active corporate and industrial corridors.

Furthermore, the newly opened centre spans 90,000 sq ft and provides over 1,200 desks, specifically designed to cater to enterprises seeking scalable, plug-and-play workspace solutions. As a result, the facility aligns with growing corporate preference for flexible leasing models.

To support this expansion, WeWork India has leased office space from real estate major DLF and will now sublease the desks to corporate clients. Consequently, this asset-light approach allows the company to scale rapidly while offering premium infrastructure to its occupiers.

Launched in 2017, WeWork India has steadily emerged as one of the country’s leading premium flexible workspace operators. Since inception, the company has expanded its operations across eight cities—Chennai, New Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad. As of December 2025, WeWork India operates 73 centres, covering a total area of 8.2 million square feet.

Meanwhile, industry data highlights the growing momentum in the flexible workspace segment. According to Colliers India, co-working operators leased 13 million sq ft of Grade A office space in 2025, marking a slight increase over the previous year. Additionally, flex space operators accounted for nearly 18 percent of total gross office leasing across seven major cities during the year, underlining strong occupier demand.

The launch of WeWork Atrium Place in Gurugram underscores WeWork India’s continued focus on high-demand office markets and flexible workspace solutions. With corporates increasingly opting for managed and scalable offices, WeWork India remains well-positioned to capitalise on India’s evolving commercial real estate and hybrid work landscape.

Sleep science startup DUSQ secures ₹24-Cr to take India-built deep science global

0
Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, Shalmali Kadu, and Mitansh Khurana, co-Founders, DUSQ

DUSQ, a sleep science and recovery startup, has raised ₹24 crore in seed funding, led by Fireside Ventures. Additionally, the round saw participation from Antler India, Climber Capital, Startup Sherpas, Vaishav Investments, Avnish Anand, and Shivam Puri.

The company plans to deploy the capital to scale what it describes as the world’s first sleep regulation platform, while simultaneously expanding its neuroscience and hardware teams, strengthening intellectual property development, upgrading its fully equipped in-house sleep laboratory, and preparing for a U.S. market launch within the rapidly growing global sleep economy.

Notably, while most of the sleep-tech market focuses on wearables that generate sleep scores and dashboards, DUSQ positions itself as a regulation-first company. More importantly, the company operates on a core hypothesis that modern sleep failure stems from brain–body desynchrony, and therefore, true recovery demands biological regulation rather than passive tracking.

DUSQ’s evolution traces back to InnerGize, a stress-focused wearable that gained nationwide attention through Shark Tank India. Although early adoption validated strong consumer interest, the experience revealed a deeper insight—stress often appears as a symptom, while sleep dysfunction forms the root cause. Consequently, over two years of research, the team analyzed more than 50 million physiological data points to develop a regulation model that links autonomic signaling with neural downshifting, addressing fragmented recovery at a biological level.

Instead of scaling prematurely, the company deliberately chose to pause and invest in long-horizon scientific research. As a result, this phase led to a complete rebrand into DUSQ—a company founded on the belief that sleep functions as a biological process requiring regulation, not mere measurement.

Over the past year, DUSQ has actively conducted structured clinical trials inside its proprietary sleep laboratory. During this period, the team tested autonomic recovery pathways under controlled conditions, and early findings demonstrate the platform’s ability to support sustained recovery cycles and stabilize uninterrupted sleep patterns. Therefore, the company has shifted its focus from simply observing rest to actively enabling recovery.

Commenting on the journey, Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, co-founder of DUSQ, said, “InnerGize gave us proof of consumer trust, but DUSQ is what happens when you build for the long term. We believe the next frontier of health tech is not more data—it’s restored biological function. We’re not building another tracker; we’re building infrastructure for human recovery. This funding allows us to take an India-built deep-science product into global markets with confidence.”

Meanwhile, Ankur Khaitan, Principal at Fireside Ventures, added, “Sleep is emerging as one of the most important health frontiers globally. What stood out for us about DUSQ was the team’s willingness to rethink the problem and build with genuine scientific depth and clear differentiation from day one. With a launch-ready product and strong IP foundation, we believe it can define the global sleep solutions category.”

Importantly, the ₹24 crore seed round also marks a pivotal moment for India’s med-tech ecosystem. Historically, U.S. and European companies have dominated the global sleep technology market. Therefore, institutional backing for a deep-science platform at this early stage signals growing investor confidence that globally competitive health technology can emerge from India. As DUSQ advances toward its U.S. launch, the company is actively reframing the global narrative—from sleep optimization to true sleep restoration.

Enrise by Sayaji expands Maharashtra footprint with 30-key hotel in Latur

0

Enrise by Sayaji has launched a 30-room hotel in the Old MIDC Area of Latur, thereby strengthening the hospitality infrastructure of the Marathwada region. Importantly, the new property positions itself to cater to the city’s rapidly expanding industrial and business corridor.

Specifically, the hotel features 30 well-appointed rooms across three categories, including 18 Deluxe Rooms, 9 Executive Rooms, and 3 Premium Executive Rooms. In addition, the property houses four banquet venues designed to serve a wide range of events. Notably, Jewel, the largest banquet hall, can host up to 700 guests in a theatre-style configuration. Meanwhile, Solitaire and Crystal accommodate mid-sized gatherings and corporate events, while Connect functions as a dedicated boardroom for smaller meetings. Furthermore, the hotel offers two dining options—Momentt and Horizon—enhancing its overall guest experience.

Commenting on the launch, Mr Ajay Kanojia, Associate General Manager, Sayaji Hotels, said, “Latur represents the kind of high-potential market that aligns perfectly with our strategic expansion philosophy. Enrise by Sayaji, Latur, is designed to meet the city’s evolving hospitality needs while bringing our signature ‘Yours Truly’ service ethos to the Marathwada region.”

Similarly, Mayur Garje, Managing Director, Garje Unit, said, “We’ve witnessed firsthand the transformation of this district into a vital commercial centre, and we recognised the opportunity to create a hospitality destination that could serve this dynamic business ecosystem. Partnering with Sayaji Hotels allows us to bring world-class facilities and service standards to our city.”

From a connectivity standpoint, the hotel enjoys a strategic location just 3 kilometres from Latur Railway Station and 120 kilometres from Solapur Airport. As a result, the property offers convenient access to key manufacturing, processing, and commercial hubs across the region.

The opening of Enrise by Sayaji in Latur reflects the brand’s focused expansion into high-growth regional markets. With modern accommodations, large-format event spaces, strong connectivity, and trusted service standards, the property actively supports Latur’s growing business travel and event-driven demand while contributing meaningfully to Marathwada’s hospitality landscape.

Nishant Pitti, Founder & Chairman at EaseMyTrip.com

Indian online travel platform EaseMyTrip has announced plans to raise up to Rs 500 crore as part of a broader strategy to scale high-growth verticals and further strengthen its financial position. Accordingly, the company’s board has approved, in principle, a proposal to raise capital through the issuance of equity shares and/or other eligible securities, subject to necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Notably, the proposed fundraise aims to support expansion across key segments such as hotels and holidays, which the company has identified as high-potential growth drivers. In addition, the capital will enable continued investments in technology, platform upgrades, and selective strategic opportunities that align with EaseMyTrip’s long-term business priorities. As a result, the initiative will provide greater financial flexibility while ensuring disciplined capital allocation during the execution of growth plans.

Commenting on the development, Nishant Pitti, Founder and Chairman of EaseMyTrip, said, “We have built this company by staying focused on the basics and thinking long term. As we move ahead, our priority is to make our core business even stronger while scaling the segments that are clearly showing momentum and sustainable potential.” He further stated that the proposed fundraise would offer the flexibility to invest in technology and strategic opportunities at the right time, with a continued emphasis on responsible growth and long-term value creation for shareholders and partners.

Meanwhile, the company may execute the fundraise in one or more tranches through permissible routes under applicable laws. These options include a rights issue, qualified institutions placement (QIP), preferential issue, private placement, or other approved mechanisms. Importantly, the final size, structure, and timing of the issue will depend on regulatory clearances and prevailing market conditions.

At the same time, EaseMyTrip continues to strengthen its position as a diversified travel platform with offerings spanning both air and non-air segments. Furthermore, the company remains focused on building a fully integrated travel ecosystem by deepening supply-side partnerships, driving technology-led efficiencies, and expanding its service portfolio. Through these efforts, EaseMyTrip aims to reinforce its role in India’s evolving tourism & hospitality infrastructure while staying committed to a long-term value creation approach.

EaseMyTrip’s proposed Rs 500 crore fundraise underscores its intent to accelerate growth in high-performing segments while maintaining financial prudence. With a strong balance sheet, expanding ecosystem, and long-term strategic focus, the company appears well-positioned to capitalise on India’s growing travel and tourism demand.

L-R: Sharad Sanghi and Anindya Das, co-founders, Neysa

US alternative asset manager Blackstone is leading a USD 600 million equity investment in AI cloud infrastructure startup Neysa, thereby valuing the company at approximately USD 1.4 billion. As a result, this transaction is shaping up to be one of the largest funding rounds in India’s artificial intelligence ecosystem to date.

Importantly, this equity infusion represents half of a planned USD 1.2 billion financing package. In addition, Neysa plans to raise another USD 600 million in debt funding, leveraging the strength of Blackstone’s equity commitment. According to a joint statement issued by Blackstone and the company, the combined financing will significantly bolster Neysa’s long-term growth strategy.

Moreover, Blackstone’s investment is expected to translate into a majority ownership stake in the Mumbai-headquartered startup. Alongside Blackstone, the equity round also attracted participation from prominent investors such as Teachers’ Venture Growth, TVS Capital Funds, 360 ONE Assets, and existing backer Nexus Venture Partners.

Founded in 2023 by Sharad Sanghi and Anindya Das, Neysa operates in the GPU-led cloud and AI infrastructure segment. Specifically, the company provides high-performance compute capacity and advanced software tools that help enterprises, startups, government bodies, and other organisations build, deploy, and scale artificial intelligence applications efficiently.

Furthermore, Neysa’s platform delivers mission-critical AI cloud services, supported by specialised capacity management and orchestration tools designed for large-scale AI model deployment. Consequently, the startup positions itself as a robust alternative to global hyperscaler clouds, particularly for workloads that require localised, scalable AI infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the company plans to deploy the fresh capital to expand GPU capacity, broaden the rollout of AI compute infrastructure, and accelerate product innovation. At the same time, Neysa intends to significantly scale its GPU installations, drawing strategic advantage from Blackstone’s global relationships, operational expertise, and ecosystem access.

Blackstone’s landmark investment not only propels Neysa into the unicorn club but also underscores a broader shift toward AI-first infrastructure development in India. With substantial capital, strategic backing, and accelerating demand, Neysa now stands well-positioned to play a defining role in shaping India’s AI cloud ecosystem at scale.

Defense tech firm Anduril seeks fresh funding at over $60 Bn valuation

0

Anduril Industries Inc. is in discussions to raise as much as $8 billion in a new funding round that could push its valuation beyond $60 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. If completed, the proposed financing would nearly double the defense technology firm’s valuation from the $2.5 billion funding round it closed last summer, thereby highlighting its growing traction with the U.S. government as well as investors’ strong appetite for artificial intelligence applications in military and defense environments.

At the same time, the company is engaging with a mix of traditional Silicon Valley venture capital firms and large institutional investors, which signals growing mainstream confidence in the business. Moreover, this broad investor outreach suggests that Anduril may already be laying the groundwork for a potential initial public offering in the future, the people said.

If the funding round reaches completion, Anduril would secure substantial capital to advance a wide range of ambitious initiatives. These plans include building a large-scale manufacturing facility and accelerating the development of autonomous weapons systems, both of which form a central part of the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Previously, the company stated that its annual revenue was on track to double to approximately $2 billion, driven primarily by contracts with the U.S. Defense Department and allied governments. As a result, Anduril has continued to strengthen its position as a key supplier of advanced defense technologies across Western military alliances.

Meanwhile, founder Palmer Luckey has said that the company aims to fundamentally reshape the military capabilities of the U.S. and its allies by integrating artificial intelligence, rapid manufacturing, and next-generation technologies into modern warfare systems.

As Anduril Industries moves closer to a potential multi-billion-dollar funding round, the talks underscore the growing convergence of artificial intelligence, defense innovation, and investor confidence. With rising revenues, expanding government contracts, and ambitious plans for autonomous systems, the company appears well positioned to play a defining role in the future of military technology while setting the stage for its next phase of growth.
