The company is currently operating at an annual recurring revenue of Rs 100 crore and has been expanding its omnichannel presence. It recently launched exclusive brand outlets in Pune, Hyderabad, and Indore, marking its entry into key urban markets. The fresh capital will be used to scale its offline retail footprint and strengthen distribution. Kidbea plans to open over 100 exclusive brand outlets and expand into more than 200 multi-brand stores across the country over the next 12 to 24 months. The company will also invest in product development and category expansion. Kidbea has been featured among the Fast 42 brands of India and received the Best Kids Brand award in 2025.

Men’s ethnicwear brand Kisah secures Rs 13 Cr to expand offline and D2C biz Co-founded in 2018 by Yash Sarawagi and Yashwi Ladasaria, Kisah offers high-fashion ethnicwear for Gen Z and millennials at accessible prices. Men’s ethnicwear brand Kisah Apparels has raised Rs 13 crore (1.52 million) in a pre-Series A funding round led by Wow! Momo founder Sagar Daryani, along with participation from Apoorv Salarpuria, Rahul Todi, Vinod Dugar, and Inflection Point Ventures. The proceeds will be utilized towards expanding its offline presence, scaling up direct-to-consumer (D2C) operations, and investing in brand-building, Kisah said in a press release. The Kolkata-based brand began with a marketplace-first model and is now evolving into an omnichannel brand. It currently operates two offline retail stores, with three more outlets planned across key Indian cities. “E-commerce gave us pan-India reach and deep customer insights, which are now fueling our D2C and offline growth—backed by data, customer pull, and positive cash flow at the company level,” said Yash Sarawagi, co-founder and CEO of Kisah Apparels. Kisah added that it has built internal systems to analyze data from its marketplace and D2C operations, which inform product design, sourcing decisions, supply chain efficiency, and marketing campaigns. The brand claims to have grown from Rs 40–45 crore to a run rate of over Rs 100 crore, with positive operating cash flow and PAT.
