Jaipur-based B2B quick-commerce startup Digidukan has raised ₹2 crore in angel funding as it looks to expand its technology, product portfolio and presence across India’s construction-material market.
The funding has been raised from Vinay Gupta and Shubham Gupta, directors at United Plywood Group. The fresh capital will be used to strengthen Digidukan’s technology and product capabilities, add more construction-material categories and support higher order volumes.
The startup also plans to expand into Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, targeting construction-material retailers that often depend on multiple suppliers and maintain excess inventory to meet customer demand.
What Happened?
Founded by Lakshya Agarwal and Kshitij S. Rungta, Digidukan operates an on-demand procurement platform designed specifically for construction-material retailers.
The company’s model aims to provide retailers with construction materials within 60 minutes, reducing their dependence on maintaining large inventories or coordinating with several suppliers.
The newly raised ₹2 crore will support three major areas: technology development, expansion into additional construction-material categories and the ability to handle higher order volumes.
The company will also use the funding to increase its reach across smaller cities and markets where construction-material procurement remains highly fragmented.
Digidukan’s 60-Minute Procurement Model
Construction-material retailers typically manage procurement through several suppliers, which can create challenges around availability, inventory planning and delivery timelines.
Digidukan is attempting to address this problem through an on-demand procurement model.
Instead of retailers keeping large quantities of products in their own warehouses, the platform allows them to place orders digitally and receive materials through its quick-commerce network.
The startup’s target delivery time is 60 minutes, making speed a central part of its proposition.
The model is designed to help retailers reduce excess inventory while improving access to products when demand arises.
Strong Growth in Orders and GMV
Digidukan has reported significant growth in its business during 2026.
The company’s monthly gross merchandise value (GMV) has increased eightfold since the beginning of the year.
It has recorded nearly 5,000 orders to date, with an average order value of more than ₹9,000.
Another notable metric is its repeat customer rate, which stands at approximately 90%.
For a B2B procurement platform, repeat purchases can be particularly important because retailers regularly need to replenish construction materials based on customer demand and ongoing projects.
Technology at the Centre of Digidukan’s Model
Beyond faster deliveries, Digidukan is building technology around retailer purchasing behaviour.
The startup is developing systems that analyse purchasing and demand patterns to help retailers understand what products they should stock and when they should reorder them.
The longer-term goal is to move beyond simply processing orders and develop a more data-led procurement system capable of anticipating retailer requirements.
This could allow the platform to become a procurement and inventory-planning layer for construction-material retailers rather than functioning only as a delivery service.
Addressing a Fragmented Construction-Material Market
The construction-material industry has traditionally relied heavily on fragmented supplier networks.
Retailers may need to work with different distributors for different products, while maintaining inventory to avoid stockouts. This can increase working-capital requirements and make procurement less predictable.
Digidukan is attempting to bring these processes onto a single digital platform.
Vinay Gupta, director at United Plywood Group, said the building-material sector has long faced inefficiencies between customer demand and product availability.
He highlighted fragmented procurement, excess inventory and inconsistent supply as structural challenges that Digidukan is attempting to address.
The investment from United Plywood Group’s directors also brings investors with experience in the building-material industry into Digidukan’s growth journey.
Expansion Into More Construction Categories
Digidukan currently focuses on procurement for construction-material retailers, but its expansion strategy includes adding more categories.
The newly raised capital will help the company increase the number of products available through its platform.
A broader catalogue could allow retailers to consolidate more of their procurement through Digidukan instead of using multiple suppliers.
The company expects higher category coverage to support larger order volumes and increase the frequency with which retailers use its platform.
Expansion Beyond Jaipur and Major Cities
The startup is also targeting Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets.
This expansion strategy is important because construction activity across smaller cities and towns creates a large network of local building-material retailers.
However, these markets can have fragmented supply chains and limited access to technology-enabled procurement systems.
By combining digital ordering with rapid fulfilment, Digidukan is positioning its platform as an alternative to traditional procurement practices in these markets.
Company Background
Digidukan was founded by Lakshya Agarwal and Kshitij S. Rungta and is headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
The startup operates in the B2B construction-material procurement segment, using a quick-commerce model to serve retailers.
Its platform is designed around rapid order fulfilment, inventory efficiency and data-driven procurement.
The company has so far recorded nearly 5,000 orders, while its monthly GMV has grown eightfold since the start of 2026.
Why the Digidukan Funding Matters
The ₹2 crore investment comes at a time when India’s B2B commerce sector is increasingly moving toward digital procurement.
While quick commerce has traditionally been associated with consumer categories such as groceries and everyday products, startups are now applying faster fulfilment models to specialised B2B sectors.
Construction materials present a different challenge because orders can involve higher values, multiple product categories and recurring requirements from retailers.
Digidukan’s reported average order value of more than ₹9,000 indicates that its model is focused on relatively high-value B2B transactions rather than conventional consumer quick-commerce purchases.
What Makes Digidukan Different?
The company’s approach combines three elements: quick fulfilment, procurement technology and demand data.
The first layer focuses on delivering products quickly.
The second aims to make procurement easier for retailers by bringing multiple categories onto one platform.
The third is designed to use purchasing patterns to predict what retailers are likely to need.
If successfully implemented, this could shift Digidukan from being simply a quick-commerce platform into a technology-enabled procurement partner for construction retailers.
Future Plans
With the new funding, Digidukan plans to strengthen its technology and product capabilities, expand its construction-material catalogue and support higher order volumes.
The startup also intends to expand across Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets.
Its longer-term objective is to build a data-driven procurement platform that can anticipate retailer requirements instead of simply responding to individual orders.
The combination of category expansion, geographic growth and predictive procurement technology will be central to Digidukan’s next phase.
Conclusion
The ₹2 crore funding raised by Digidukan marks an important step in the Jaipur-based startup’s attempt to modernise construction-material procurement.
With nearly 5,000 orders, an eightfold increase in monthly GMV since the start of 2026, an average order value above ₹9,000 and a repeat customer rate of around 90%, the company has shown early traction in a traditionally fragmented market.
Its next challenge will be scaling the 60-minute delivery model, expanding its product range and entering more Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets while building technology that can predict retailer demand.
If Digidukan can successfully combine rapid fulfilment with data-driven inventory planning, it could build a larger digital procurement network for India’s construction-material retail sector.
