HomeLane Sets Sights on FY26 Profitability – A Deep Dive into the Brand’s Financial Renaissance

The fiscal year ended March 2025 marked a watershed moment for the Bengaluru-headquartered startup. HomeLane reported an operating revenue of ₹756 crore, a significant jump from the previous year. More importantly, the company achieved a critical operational milestone by turning EBITDA positive in Q4 FY25, clocking ₹219 crore in revenue with an EBITDA of ₹2.8 crore during the final quarter.

This financial turnaround is not merely a result of increased sales; it reflects a disciplined approach to cost management and operational efficiency. By narrowing its consolidated net losses by nearly 34% compared to the previous fiscal, the brand has demonstrated that its business model can scale without proportionate increases in overheads.

A key pillar of HomeLane’s growth strategy in 2025 was the acquisition of DesignCafe, the third-largest player in the organized interiors segment. This merger has allowed the combined entity to:

• Consolidate Market Share: Strengthening its position as a dominant force against both local contractors and other branded competitors.
• Leverage Synergies: Both brands continue to operate as standalone consumer entities while sharing a unified backend infrastructure, including technology, supply chain, and logistics.
• Widen Customer Reach: The acquisition enables the group to cater to diverse design styles and budget brackets, effectively capturing a larger slice of the urban Indian middle-class market.

At the core of HomeLane’s success is its proprietary AI-driven platform, SpaceCraft. This technology suite enables:

1. 3D Visualization: Allowing homeowners to see their future spaces in real-time.
2. Predictable Pricing: Providing transparent cost breakdowns that eliminate the “negotiation fatigue” associated with traditional contractors.
3. Seamless Execution: Coordinating the journey from design approval to factory manufacturing and final on-site installation within a committed 45-day window.

The Indian interior design market is currently undergoing a structural reset. Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing accountability, warranty, and professional project management over the low-cost but unpredictable nature of freelance labor.

With over 55,000 projects delivered across more than 40 cities, HomeLane is capitalizing on this shift. The management’s focus for FY26 is clear: deepening presence in high-growth urban clusters, enhancing backend tech for smoother customer journeys, and delivering sustained value to both stakeholders and clients.

The journey from a “soonicorn” to a profitable entity requires more than just high sales numbers; it requires trust. By offering a 10-year warranty, fixed timelines, and high-quality private-label hardware, HomeLane is setting new standards for the organized sector. As the real estate market continues to boom across India’s top cities, the demand for reliable, branded interior solutions is only set to rise.
