Avendus Advises Livspace on Its Fundraise From Ingka Group, a Strategic Partner in the Ikea Franchise System

He further added, “Livspace aims to make good living accessible to millions. This investment is a step in that direction. On one hand, the investment gives us the opportunity to create one of the best omnichannel interiors and furniture purchase experience for homeowners. On the other hand, interior designers and vendors can anticipate a richer design and supply experience.

Convenience and personalization are becoming increasingly important to the future of home furnishing and customers life at home and we believe Livspace has created a digital platform that has the potential to transform a customer’s home furnishing journey. This minority investment aligns closely with the digital direction of Ingka Group and our core business, IKEA Retail, and we are looking forward to exploring new opportunities together with Livspace”, says

Livspace continues to go from strength to strength on the back of its unique product and tech led differentiation in a fragmented and unorganized market. Ingka Group’s investment in Livspace can lead to opportunities for creation of exclusive offerings in India and other global markets.

Since its launch in 2015, Livspace has emerged as the top organized player in India’s very fragmented home interiors and renovation market. In September 2018, Livspace raised USD 70 million as part of its series C round and brought TPG Growth and Goldman Sachs onboard as investors. The round marked the largest Series C round ever raised by a vertical e-commerce company in India and was amongst the biggest in Southeast Asia. This fresh investment comes months after the last round and Avendus Capital was the financial advisor to the company for the investment.
