Bangalore-based Interior Design startup Furdo raises 400K in angel round

BANGALORE, India - Sept. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Summary:

Founded by Kiran Singh, Arvind Prakash Singh and Ishwar Sundararaman, Furdo is an online interior design that helps you “Virtually Walk” in your interior designed home, and see it from every corner.

It’s just like living and walking in your home, even before you have paid for kitchens, wardrobes or a single piece of furniture. And if you don’t like the design, you can always try a new one!

The best part however, is you no longer risk spending an average of 10 lacs on doing up your home and getting it wrong. Try before you buy with Furdo, at just Rs. 10,000.

Furdo has managed to raise 400K in angel round of funding, from Bhavadeep Reddy of Indus Homes Pvt. Ltd.

The Article:

“The biggest problem with Interior Design is, everyone asks you to IMAGINE!! Imagine a blue wall here, imagine an oakwood TV Wall Unit against it, and orange lights from the ceiling. The one thing you will never be asked to do by Furdo, is IMAGINE! With our super-realistic 3D video, you can Virtually Walk through your home and see every corner of your home, before you make a single buy decision" says Ishwar Sundararaman, an IIM-B alumnus, Co-founder & CEO of Furdo.

Right from picking a design for your home, to buying all the products
in the design, and finally making the design an on-ground reality -
every step has been simplified by Furdo, to make it a zero-headache model.

But it’s not just the ease of designing your home, that is getting Furdo noticed by new-home buyers. It’s also the sheer variety of designs that they have on their website, that helped them get funded.

Kiran Singh, Founder and Chief Design Officer spoke on design itself - "The designs in the market today look great, clean and contemporary, and attempt to make your home like a hotel lobby.  But they lack soul, lack culture, and don't take into account personal interest. When it comes to homes, people want a personal space they can live their entire lives in, not visit for one night."

Finally implementing the design and making it real is tough. Arvind Singh, Co-Founder & COO said, "Pretty designs are available on Pinterest and Google.  But a pretty photo, doesn't necessarily result in a beautiful home. Furdo focuses on design thatʼs easy to implement, we have partnered with the best. Everything you see in our design is buy-able online, from branded players in the interior decor space. Once they deliver all the products to your doorstep, Furdo steps in with its implementation team, to make sure your design becomes a reality.”

Speaking to Bhavadeep Reddy on what prompted his early investment in the idea, he said “I have witnessed the consumer problem at very close quarters, even experienced it myself . When Kiran showed me the 3D visualisation, I could see that it had potential to change the face of Interior Design. If all customers, could walk through their Furdo-designed virtual homes, before making any expensive purchase, it would make their interior design dilemma go away.”
