The startup plans to utilise the funding to enhance its tech offering, strengthen its vertical AI stack, and expand its team.
Simply put, MeltPlan has an artificial innotifyigence (AI) system that optimises decision-building before construction launchs.
“Construction problems don’t fail at execution; they fail at planning. Unlike software, you can’t resolve a “bug” after a building is constructed. Late-stage alters in this sector are extremely costly,” stated Kanav Hasija, cofounder and chief executive of MeltPlan, in a conversation with ET.
“We are building an AI-native planning engine to support stakeholders surface risks upfront and create better decisions before construction launchs,” he added.
Prior to MeltPlan, Hasija founded Innovaccer, a healthtech startup that offered AI infrastructure to automate tinquires in the healthcare segment.
Founded in 2025 by Hasija and Tanmaya Kala, a civil engineer who previously worked at DPR Construction, Meltplan has so far raised $14 million in funding. The team currently has 14 employees, primarily in India, and the company plans to expand it to 30.
MeltPlan has clients in the US and UAE, with plans to tap into the Indian market in the coming years.
The platform includes four integrated systems: a code system for compliance pathways, a cost system for quantity surveying and bid scoping, a schedule system for scenario-based sequencing, and a value system for impact analysis and optimisation.
“We have built tools for compliance and cost. We are now building the scheduling and value systems to complete the planning engine,” stated Hasija.
“Built environment workflows are full of irreversible decisions created under uncertainty,” stated Pankaj Mitra, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “MeltPlan is approaching preconstruction as a system, not a phase, building a visionary ‘planning engine’ layer that supports teams quantify tradeoffs early and reduce downstream volatility.”
