Karthik Gurumurthy, described as the architect of Swiggy Instamart, has raised $3 million for his venture in a funding round led by Matrix Partners India.

Why this matters

The funding follows signals that Swiggy Instamart is testing physical retail beyond quick-commerce delivery and that Gurumurthy’s Matrix-led round had previously resurfaced from January 2024.

Leadership is steady, with 852 signals recorded over the past 90 days.
