Modulus Housing raises Rs 70 Cr in Series A round

Proptech startup Modulus Housing has raised Rs 70 crore ($7.83 million) in its Series A round led by Kalaari Capital, Hero, and Samarthya. The round also saw participation from SVAS, Sigma, Zetwerk founder Srinath, Sanjiv Rangrass, and other investors. 

This is the company’s first institutional funding.

Founded in 2018 by Shreeram Ravichandran and P. Gobinath, Modulus Housing operates a factory-made construction model for modular buildings. It uses a cloud manufacturing network made up of partner factories and a proprietary product suite to produce structures for low-rise infrastructure. 

The company claims to run a profitable business with cumulative revenue of more than Rs 200 crore. The company’s operating revenue increased 38% to Rs 54 crore in FY24 from Rs 39 crore in the previous fiscal year. It didn’t disclose its FY25 numbers.

The proceeds will be used for market expansion across India and select global markets, advanced R&D, a next-generation concrete modular system, and scaling its cloud manufacturing network. Modulus also plans to expand its green concrete technology for distributed infrastructure use cases.

According to the company, it has completed more than 1,500 buildings across 21 Indian states and parts of Africa. These include modular hospitals, cold storage units, site offices, schools, and distributed infrastructure projects.

Modulus Housing is headquartered in Chennai and plans to expand operations across India and emerging markets.
