[FUNDING NEWS] India-Based Fashor has Secured $5 Million in Funding

A combination of main and secondary deals, early-stage venture capital firm Blume Ventures helped ethnic apparel brand Fashor raise $5 million in funding.

The money will go into supply chain fortification, brand development, and omnichannel expansion.

Established by Vikram and Priyanka Kankaria, the business sells its products on its website, app, and on fashion marketplaces such as Myntra, which is owned by Flipkart, Reliance Ajio, and Nykaa Fashion.

According to Vikram Kankaria, the company’s website and app account for about one-third of its revenue. The remaining 55–60% comes via various marketplaces, while offline sales account for the remaining 10%.
