Plazza raised $15M in Series A funding.
The round was co-led by Accel, Elevation Capital and Nexus Venture Partners.
Existing investors All In Capital and Better Capital also participated.
The company will use the funds for technology platform, AI-driven inventory, operational capabilities and store expansion.
Plazza currently operates 2 stores in Bengaluru and has 8 more in the pipeline.
It plans to open around 10 new stores in Bengaluru within the next 8 weeks, aiming for about 20 stores by end of 2026.
The company expects to expand beyond Bengaluru into other cities within a year.

India's pharmaceutical retail market exceeds $30 billion with more than 100,000 SKUs.
Plazza's prescription fill rate is over 95%, while the industry average is 50-60%.
Only about 50% of top-selling medicines overlap across its two Bengaluru stores, showing hyperlocal demand variation.

Plazza is a pharmacy-first quick-commerce platform that delivers medicines in 15-30 minutes.
It uses an AI-powered inventory system to stock based on neighbourhood-level demand and local prescription patterns.
Each Plazza store stocks more than 40,000 SKUs, about eight times the inventory of a typical neighbourhood pharmacy (around 5,000 medicines).
The company operates an omnichannel model with physical stores, app and WhatsApp ordering, designed for delivery not walk-ins.
Its GMV grew nearly 27 times between June 2025 and March 2026.
Repeat customers place baskets roughly 30% larger than first-time users.
