    Participated · Equity · Dec 2025

    Founded in 2016, Wakefit has built a full-stack model that spans product design, in-house manufacturing, distribution, and customer engagement. Its portfolio covers mattresses, furniture, and home furnishings sold via its website, company-owned–company-operated (COCO) stores, and major e-commerce and multi-brand outlets. Wakefit operates five manufacturing facilities across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Haryana that use imported machinery and automation to streamline production and reduce waste. For the six months ended 30 September 2025, the company generated ₹724 crore in revenue from operations and ₹35.5 crore in profit. Management plans to deploy fresh capital to open 117 new COCO stores, purchase new equipment, fund lease payments for existing outlets, and bolster marketing. The firm is preparing for a ₹1,289 crore IPO that would value it at roughly ₹6,400 crore. Wakefit’s growth trajectory positions it among the fastest Indian home-and-furnishings brands to surpass ₹1,000 crore in total income within the organised segment.
