Vaaree is a Bengaluru-based technology-enabled curated marketplace for home decor, furnishings, and accessories, founded in 2022.[1][2][3] It offers over 80,000 products across 150 categories, including kitchenware, bedding, bath accessories, garden decor, and lighting, sourced directly from export-grade factories to ensure quality and low return rates below 5%.[1][2][5] The platform serves Indian consumers seeking mid- to premium-priced, authentic items in styles from Bohemian to art deco, solving the problem of fragmented access to verified, high-quality home products via its AI-powered app VibeCheck for styling and a Fulfilment & Brand Verification (FBV) network enabling next-day deliveries.[1][2] Vaaree has raised approximately $8.6-10 million total (₹98 Cr), including a recent $4.6M round led by Peer Capital, with prior seed funding from Surge (Peak XV), and plans to scale tech, operations, and reach in metros and tier-2 cities.[1][2][5]
Vaaree was founded in February 2022 by Garima Luthra, Pranav Arora, and Varun Vohra in Bengaluru.[1][2] Initially selling home products directly, it pivoted to a curated marketplace model in November 2022, partnering with certified export-oriented manufacturers for authenticity and competitive pricing.[1][3] Varun Vohra, a BITS Pilani alumnus, brings serial entrepreneurship experience, having co-founded and sold Aknamed (acquired by API Holdings in 2021) and Genii (acquired by Practo in 2015).[2] The idea emerged to build "for the Indian home with speed, soul, and smarts," capitalizing on the shift of the $15B home furnishings market online; early traction included $4M seed funding in November 2023 led by Surge, with angels like Kunal Shah (Cred) and Vineeta Singh (Sugar Cosmetics).[1][2][5]
Vaaree rides the rapid online shift in India's $15B home decor and furnishings market, where consumers demand higher-quality, frequent small-ticket purchases over infrequent big-ticket furniture buys.[1][2][5] Timing aligns with rising e-commerce penetration in tier-2 cities and AI-driven personalization, as niche players like Vaaree, Decortwist, and Nestroots attract investor interest amid competition from larger platforms like LivSpace.[5] Market forces favoring it include direct manufacturer ties reducing costs, post-pandemic home refresh trends, and investor bets on "rails for future home shopping" via tech like VibeCheck.[1][2] It influences the ecosystem by setting standards for quality curation and quick commerce in decor, boosting local factories and high-frequency categories.[5]
Vaaree is poised to capture share in the digitizing $15B market through AI scaling and FBV expansion, with recent $4.6M funding fueling metro/tier-2 growth and next-day delivery.[1][2] Upcoming trends like AI styling ubiquity and quick commerce will shape its path, potentially driving AOV growth via repeat buys and ecosystem partnerships. Its influence may evolve from niche curator to category leader, redefining Indian home shopping with authentic, smart access—echoing its mission to blend speed, soul, and smarts for every home.[1][3]
Vaaree has raised $9.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in July 2025.
