TimBuckDo, a Bengaluru-based on-demand convenience platform, has recently raised a bridge funding round backed by Srinath Setty, Co-Founder and CEO of Hosachiguru, through his family office Trasa Ventures, and Adarsh Narahari, Founder and Managing Director of Primus Senior Living.

The company has not disclosed the size or valuation of the bridge round. The funding comes as TimBuckDo prepares to raise a USD 5 million Series A round in the coming months.

TimBuckDo operates a network of verified college students, referred to as “Doers”, who provide on-demand assistance to individuals and organisations. Its service categories include elder companionship, pet care, child support, assistance for home-based businesses and other everyday convenience requirements. The platform also provides flexible earning opportunities for college students alongside their education.

Srinath Setty joins the round through Trasa Ventures, bringing experience from the managed farmland and real estate sector. Adarsh Narahari’s investment has a strategic connection with TimBuckDo’s Companion Doer vertical, which provides elderly customers with student Doers for companionship, errands and hospital escort support.

Srinath Setty, Co-Founder & CEO of Hosachiguru, investing through his family office, Trasa Ventures, said:

“I’ve always been drawn to businesses that take something traditional and rebuild it with technology and scale. That’s exactly what Mythri and Apoorv are doing with TimBuckDo, and why I wanted to back them. The opportunity to organise and scale a trusted student workforce around everyday needs is compelling, and I look forward to supporting the team as they build the next phase of the business.”

Adarsh Narahari, Founder & Managing Director, Primus Senior Living, said:

“Primus was born from watching my grandmother want independence with dignity. TimBuckDo’s Companion Doer model extends that same idea beyond our communities into the homes of elders who are ageing on their own terms. It is a natural extension of the work we’ve spent over a decade on, and I’m glad to back the team as they build this category.”

Mythri Kumar and Apoorv Sharma Prasad, Co-Founders, TimBuckDo, said:

“Having Srinath and Adarsh back this round means a lot to us. They are two entrepreneurs we deeply admire, each having built category-defining businesses in their respective sectors. This bridge round gives us the runway and strategic backing to prepare for our next phase of growth, as we work towards our Series A and continue building the infrastructure for India’s Pink Collar Economy.”

TimBuckDo plans to use the bridge capital to strengthen its technology platform, expand its Doer network, deepen its presence across existing markets and develop key service categories ahead of the Series A round.

The company is building a marketplace connecting verified student workers with households and businesses seeking on-demand support. It said repeat bookings across early pilot markets are emerging as an indicator of demand for the platform.

TimBuckDo is also backed by Rukam Capital, Turbostart and Arjun Vaidya, among other investors. The company has partnered with organisations including Decathlon, Aditya Birla and ONDC.
