This comes after the company announced $7 million in funding in January 2025 through a combination of Seed and Pre-Series A rounds led by Peak XV Partners. According to its regulatory filing with the RoC, Ambak’s board has issued 3,111 Series A CCPS and 10 equity shares at an issuance price of Rs 2,20,405.6 per share to raise the above-mentioned amount.

According to Entrackr’s analysis, the company’s valuation has surged by over 76% to Rs 450 crore ($51 million) post-money, compared with its Rs 255 crore valuation in the previous round. Founded in 2023, Ambak streamlines the home loan process through a transparent three-step system that matches customers with the right financiers using Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and bank rule engines. Its tech-driven, assisted model simplifies workflows for both borrowers and lending partners. Following the latest infusion, Peak XV remains the largest external shareholder with a 14.9% stake, followed by Surge Ventures and Z47 at 13.95% and 6.25% respectively. The co-founders Raghuveer Malik, Rameshwar Gupta, and Rashi Garg collectively hold 46.23% of the company, according to TheKredible. In its first year of operations, Ambak reported Rs 1.03 crore in operating revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2024 and a loss of Rs 2.11 crore. The company has not yet disclosed its FY25 figures. Last year, several other home finance startups also raised funding, including Easy Home Finance, which secured $35 million led by Ranjan Pai’s family office and Claypond Capital, and Basic Home Loan, which raised $10.6 million, among others.
