According to Tracxn data, the sector had peaked at $143 million in 2021 before falling to $75.2 million in 2022, $30.4 million in 2023, and hitting a trough last year. Debt financing has also returned after two years—three rounds this year against none in 2023 and 2024.

In 2025, Stanza Living, the sector’s largest player, raised $31.9 million in a Series E round led by Accel and Motilal Oswal, along with $7 million in debt from Alteria Capital and Innoven Capital. The round reportedly came at a lower valuation than previous rounds despite improved financials — FY24 losses narrowed 45% on-year to 273 crore on operating revenue of ¢584 crore.
