The investment will help Aurm expand its automated vaulting solutions aimed at modernising India’s traditional bank locker ecosystem through enhanced security, accessibility and digital integration. The funding round also saw participation from several angel investors.

Abhay Garg said the investment reflects a shared vision of building secure and sustainable urban ecosystems. He noted that Aurm has identified a large but underserved demand for secure private storage solutions within residential and corporate communities.

Vijay Arisetty said the company was founded to address the inconvenience faced by individuals who still rely on distant bank branches for safe storage of valuables. He added that the partnership with Earth Fund and Sattva Ventures would help integrate Aurm’s automated vault infrastructure into modern residential and commercial developments across India.

Adrija Agarwal said the investment demonstrates confidence in the future of security technology infrastructure, where physical protection is combined with digital-first operational efficiency. She added that Aurm’s model creates value for developers, banks and high-net-worth individuals by offering secure and convenient storage infrastructure.

Aurm operates a “vault-at-your-doorstep” model featuring military-grade automated safe deposit lockers installed directly within gated communities, bank branches and corporate campuses. The company said its facilities offer round-the-clock access, multi-factor authentication and intrusion-proof surveillance systems, providing an alternative to conventional bank locker services.

The collaboration signals a broader shift towards decentralised and technology-led secure storage infrastructure as urban consumers increasingly seek convenient and high-security solutions integrated within residential and commercial ecosystems."
