Shruti Gochhwal, Co-founder of Zappfresh, has ventured into the women’s fashion segment with the launch of Sharmeeli, a new brand focused on premium Indian ethnic wear. 

Targeting the Rs 1.68 trillion ethnic wear market, Sharmeeli aims to cater to the evolving preferences of the modern Indian woman with high-quality, design-forward collections.

Prior to launching Sharmeeli, Shruti spent six years heading operations and finance at Zappfresh, where she played a key role in scaling it into one of India’s most trusted D2C startups in the fresh food space.

She then founded Amaltas Couture, a bridalwear label known for its hand-embroidered lehengas and a growing community of happy brides. Her latest venture, Sharmeeli, is the wild child of Amaltas, solving the lack of high-quality, wearable Indian fashion that falls between mass and couture, priced under Rs 10,000 – without the noise of mass production and fast fashion.

Shruti has partnered with Santosh Galidevara, a former Army Major and Paratrooper who brings his discipline, focus, and structure to run the day-to-day operations of the brand. She has also onboarded Renu Solanki, who has spent years working closely with fabrics and karigars, leading sourcing and craftsmanship for the brand ensuring every piece lives up to the promise.

Sharmeeli was born from a simple belief that Indian wear should be beautiful, well-made, comfortable, and wearable – without falling apart after a few washes. In a market full of fast fashion and machine-made shortcuts, Sharmeeli brings back the charm of handcrafted detail and high-quality fabrics. Each piece is made in small batches to ensure it lasts longer, fits well, and feels good.

“I’m thrilled to bring Sharmeeli to life,” says Shruti. “I built Sharmeeli to protect something I love – Indian craft, fabric, identity – from getting lost in the noise of fast trends and Western wear. It’s a reminder of where we come from and the joy, comfort, and meaning Indian wear holds.”

Men’s apparel brand WROGN has raised approximately ₹75 crore (around $9 million) in a fresh round of funding from Aditya Birla Digital Fashion Ventures Ltd (ABDFVL). This investment boosts ABDFVL’s stake in the direct-to-consumer (D2C) fashion brand from 17.10% to 32.84% on a fully diluted basis, according to a stock exchange filing.

Strategic Investments Fuel Growth

Earlier in June 2023, WROGN secured an additional ₹125 crore ($15 million) from TMRW House of Brands, a part of the Aditya Birla Group. This investment increased TMRW’s stake in WROGN to 16%, pushing the valuation of the Bengaluru-based brand to around $105 million. The cumulative investment showcases the confidence in WROGN’s growth potential and its impact on India’s fashion market.

WROGN’s Rise in India’s Fashion Landscape

Founded in 2014 by siblings Anjana and Vikram Reddy, WROGN has rapidly become a key player in the casualwear space, offering a wide range of men’s apparel, footwear, and accessories. Partnering with cricketer Virat Kohli as the face of the brand has helped WROGN gain significant traction, expanding its presence through exclusive brand outlets and major e-commerce platforms.

With strong backing from investors such as Accel, Flipkart, and even icons like Sachin Tendulkar, WROGN has raised a total of approximately $90 million to date. In November 2020, Flipkart made an undisclosed investment in WROGN’s Series F round, signaling strong support from one of India’s leading e-commerce platforms.

WROGN’s Financial Performance

Despite the investments, WROGN faced challenges in FY24. The brand’s revenue from operations fell by 29.2% to ₹243.75 crore, down from ₹344.3 crore in FY23. Meanwhile, WROGN’s losses surged by 28.2%, reaching ₹56.76 crore due to reduced sales and market challenges.

India’s Booming Fashion Sector

According to a report by TMRW X Bain & Company, India’s fashion and lifestyle sector is valued at $110 billion, making it the country’s second-largest consumer category. Online sales account for 10% of the market, contributing around $11 billion in revenue, a trend that WROGN is well-positioned to capitalize on.

Looking Ahead

With fresh capital and a strategic partnership with Aditya Birla Group, WROGN is primed for further expansion in the dynamic Indian fashion landscape. The brand aims to leverage these funds to strengthen its online and offline presence, broaden its product offerings, and compete in the fast-growing D2C fashion sector.
