MyGubbi, the Bengaluru-based home decor and designing startup that “offers interior design solutions and home merchandise across various categories that are perfect to style modern homes”, has raised a $2.7 million in new pre-Series A funding..

The round was led by the family office of Firoze Irani, a Gujarati film personality and participated by existing investors including Bigbasket’s Vipul Parekh, NeoBytes founder Ananda Kallugadde and Infosys President Rajesh K Murthy.

• Founded in 2015 by Sangurmath and Ravi Rao along with Aiyappa A.S and Sunil Rao, MyGubbi provides interior design and home decor solutions across categories including kitchen, wardrobe and storage.
• The company claims that all its orders are delivered and completed within 45 days and it offers a five-year warranty. It has partnerships with a host of brands for sourcing including Hettich, Hafele and Century Ply.

With the fresh investment, the company plans to double down its growth push.

We are also setting up a centre of excellence in design in Bengaluru, which is where these funds would be deployed.”
