Brick & Bolt (also styled Brick&Bolt or Brick N Bolt) is an Indian construction technology company headquartered in Bengaluru. It is operated by Pluckwalk Technologies Private Limited.[2] It was founded in January 2018 by Jayesh Rajpurohit and his nephew Arpit Rajpurohit.[3] The company manages residential and commercial building projects. Instead of building them itself, it coordinates independent contractors and handles planning, quality inspection and payments.[3]

History

[edit]

Jayesh Rajpurohit studied civil engineering at IIT Roorkee, and Arpit Rajpurohit studied computer science.[3] The founders said the idea came from problems their own families had faced when building homes.[4] The company started with about ₹25 lakh (US$26,000) in seed capital from one of Jayesh's IIT batchmates, and a team of five.[3]

In February 2020, Brick & Bolt raised US$1.5 million through Sequoia Capital India's Surge programme.[5] It later raised US$2.2 million from the German venture capital firm Foundamental. Angel investors included Livspace co-founders Anuj Srivastava and Ramakant Sharma.[3] By September 2021, the company was operating in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hyderabad. It had delivered 320 homes, had more than 250 under construction, and had grown to about 130 employees.[3]

In January 2023, Brick & Bolt raised US$10 million in a Series A round co-led by Accel and Celesta Capital. HDFC Capital Advisors, Stride Ventures and existing investors also took part, bringing its total funding to about US$16 million.[6][7] The company said it would use the money to improve its technology, strengthen its leadership team and expand to more cities.[6]

In March 2025, Brick & Bolt raised ₹16.6 crore (US$1.7 million) from Foundamental in a pre-Series B round. The round valued the company at about ₹891 crore (US$93 million), nearly three times its Series A valuation.[1] In the 2023–24 financial year, its operating revenue grew 81% to ₹42.25 crore (US$4.4 million), and its losses fell 10% to ₹31 crore (US$3.2 million).[1] By then it was operating in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi NCR and Pune.[1]

In November 2025, the company announced changes to its senior leadership team.[8]

Business model

[edit]

Brick & Bolt does not carry out construction itself. It assigns projects to independent contractors, supervises their work and earns a commission from them.[3] In 2021, Forbes India reported that the company carried out 310 quality checks per floor.[3]

Technology

[edit]

Customers use a mobile app to track project progress, milestones and payments. Forbes India reported in 2021 that the company used AI-based monitoring to track work.[3] The company uses building information modeling (BIM) and workflow automation tools, and in 2023 it said it ran more than 16 in-house applications, including one that predicts when materials will be delivered.[6]
