Purple Style Labs (PSL), the parent company of Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop (PPUS), is raising Rs 102 crore (approximately $12 million) in a new funding round from more than eighty investors. The board at Purple Style Labs has passed a special resolution to issue 2,040 preference shares at an issue price of Rs 5,00,000 each in the last 3 months to raise Rs 102 crore or $12 million, its regulatory filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. Minerva Ventures Fund, Cordelia Family Trust, S Four Capital, and Sopariwala Exports will invest Rs 10 crore, Rs 5 crore, Rs 6 crore, and Rs 5 crore, respectively. The remaining amount will be contributed by individual investors, including Sachin Tendulkar, Salman Khan, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shraddha Kapoor, Sailesh Gupta, Pravesh Dhandhania, Fahim Sultan Ali, and 73 other individual investors. The company will use these proceeds for general corporate purposes and to meet working capital requirements. As per Entrackr’s estimates, the company will be valued at around $400 million post-allotment. Founded in 2015 by Abhishek Agarwal, Purple Style Labs is a luxury fashion platform housing Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop and The Stylist. Since acquiring Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop in 2018, it has expanded to 15 experience centers across major Indian cities and London. Purple Style Labs recorded a 36% year-on-year growth, with its revenue rising to Rs 508 crore during the last fiscal year from Rs 372 crore in FY23. However, this expansion came at a cost, as its losses increased by 20%, reaching Rs 45.6 crore in the past fiscal year. Purple Style Labs is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026 and has set a target of $200 million in gross sales for the upcoming year.
