Fast fashion omnichannel ethnic wear brand Libas has raised Rs 150 crore ($18 million) by IAF Series 5, a fund managed by ICICI Venture. This is the first external funding round for the decade-old company. Libas will strengthen its omni-channel presence and ramp up its exclusive brand and retail outlets across key metros and tier I, II, and III cities over the next few years, the company said in a press release. Libas also plans to leverage its brand, design capabilities, technology infrastructure, and supply chain network across channels to create the omnichannel business. Led by Sidhant Keshwani, Libas offers ethnic wear and comfortable fusion silhouettes with an online presence on platforms such as Flipkart and Myntra, alongside offline presence through EBOs, large format stores and multi-brand outlets. It solely focuses on women’s fashion. According to the Delhi-based company, a significant portion of the revenue comes from the brand’s own D2C channels.
