Outzidr, a digital-first fashion brand catering to Indian women aged 18-28, has secured ₹27 crore (~$3.1 million) in a pre-Series A funding round. The funding round was led by RTP Global, with existing investor Stellaris Venture Partners also participating.
This new investment follows an earlier seed round of ₹30 crore (~$3.5 million) led by Stellaris Venture Partners and strategic angels. The funds will primarily be used to launch Outzidr's first offline store by March 2026, expand its design, operations, and technology teams, and initiate a rapid delivery segment to better serve its customers.
Founded in 2024 by Nirmal Jain, Mani Kant Mani, and Justin Mario, Outzidr operates with a test-and-scale model, launching up to 2,000 new styles monthly through its own direct-to-consumer platform and e-commerce marketplaces like Ajio, Myntra, and Nykaa Fashion. Within five to six months since launch, the brand has amassed over 100,000 to 125,000 customers and aims for Rs 100 crore annualized revenue by the end of 2025.
