Biome, a full-stack venture studio, has announced that its co-founded startup, Zoop Money, has scaled to ₹3,000 crore in inventory in six months. Zoop Money is a digital home-loan platform that connects real estate developers with financial institutions, enabling instant digital sanctions and real-time loan tracking for homebuyers. It was founded on a clear thesis: to build a fundamentally different model to access home loans in India.

Biome embedded a dedicated execution pod across product, technology, partnerships, go-to-market, messaging, finance, and governance. The venture studio defined the product roadmap and strategy alongside assessing the technology stack and architecture. It further established legal, financial, HR, and governance frameworks, as well as the annual operating plan. This allowed the founders to prioritise product development over administrative responsibilities, accelerating the shift from a strong concept to a fully deployed, institutionally credible platform within six months.

Zoop Money is now working with leading developers across Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, while also building India’s largest digital repository of bank-approved units. This is driven by Biome’s GTM capabilities that enabled rapid market entry. Together, the partnership is advancing the country’s first digital bank login and sanction capability. The progress reflects the strength of the partnership, which unites Zoop’s co-founding team comprising senior leaders from top banks, technology unicorns, and the real estate sector with Biome’s institutional venture-building model.

Zoop Money is one of two ventures co-founded by Biome and exemplifies the studio’s focused approach to venture building. By partnering with only two to three startups each year, Biome ensures each venture benefits from deep, hands-on engagement and the full strength of its leadership. This concentrated model allows founders to leverage the collective experience of Biome’s core team, whose backgrounds span institutions such as T-Hub, D. E. Shaw, UBS, Oracle USA, MIT and Anthill Ventures. They bring professional depth across venture building, product, technology, go-to-market, finance, and governance. In 2025, the studio reviewed 540 inbound interests from startups across sectors and onboarded two, resulting in a ~0.40% selection rate. Many others had value added through the evaluation process.

Commenting on this, Srinivas Kollipara, Managing Partner - Biome, said, “Founders today navigate an increasingly complex landscape, where the ability to execute with precision often determines the trajectory of a company. Biome was created to address a clear gap in the market: the absence of partners who combine capital with embedded operational support and long-term execution commitment. Startups require a strategic ally who stands beside them from day one, and Biome exists to provide that institutionally backed, hands-on support and expertise.”

Nishant Mehra, CEO - Zoop Money, said, “Biome’s co-building philosophy has been instrumental in shaping Zoop Money into a scalable product and a discipline-driven organisation. From product definition and technology architecture to go-to-market readiness, every layer was built collaboratively. This partnership has strengthened our conviction, enabling us to accelerate with greater clarity, speed, and confidence.”

Earlier this year, Biome announced the first close of its ₹100 crore commitment to co-found and scale impactful ventures backed by strategic investors, including BVR Mohan Reddy, Prasad Yerneni, Abhinav Reddy, and the family offices of Raj Phani (Zaggle), GAR G Aditya Vuchi (MediaMint) and the Phoenix Group. With a track record of building and scaling large enterprises, they bring a depth of operational and strategic expertise that meaningfully strengthens the Biome team beyond capital infusion.
