Our vision is to revolutionize the online and offline shopping experience across all channels and customer touch-points. We expect that the capital raised will help us further bolster our growth trajectory.”

“Fynd has built an impressive, tech-first platform that has tremendous potential to scale within and beyond fashion and India,” said Seema Rao, Head of Corporate Development – India, Google. “Fynd’s unique store-driven commerce approach, without inventory or warehouses, gives it a unique position in the marketplace.”
