GreenFortune raises Rs 8.5 cr in seed funding from Incubate Fund, Titan Capital and others


Window and door systems brand, GreenFortune, says it has raised $1.04 million in a seed funding round led by Incubate Fund India. The round also saw participation from Titan Capital, Partners Fund Japan, Superb Capital and Varun Alagh, the founder of MamaEarth.

GreenFortune, which is a part of Traumbuild AndesInfra Solutions Pvt Ltd, says the capital will be utilised to fuel geographic expansion, product development and further technological enablement. The company also aims to expand its channel partner network from 50 to 300 by year-end.

The real estate and construction industry in India is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030 with rapid adoption of sustainable green building materials and pre-fabricated/pre-engineered products. Yet, several issues persist, particularly in the joinery and façade sectors. These include deficient QA/QC, an underwhelming service orientation in the supply ecosystem, a lack of transparency, and elevated costs—predominant issues in the budget segment. GreenFortune says it navigates these issues with its innovative, technology-driven model and exceptional product quality.

“Demand for superior yet affordable door and window systems is massive. Fabricators are pivotal to this ecosystem. By closely working with fabricators, we aim to drive better end-customer outcomes on cost, quality, and service, thereby, becoming the preferred brand in the windows, doors and facades categories” said Dilip Kumar, co-founder of GreenFortune and formerly, a Partner at Boston Consulting Group, in a statement.

Rajeev Ranka, Partner at Incubate Fund India, says GreenFortune is carving out a platform-led high-quality, affordable brand ecosystem that empowers all stakeholders-from suppliers to customers. “They promote green building materials with a uniquely profitable business model. At Incubate Fund India, we’re thrilled to back Dilip and Pratyusha and join their visionary mission,” Ranka said in a statement.
