Exclusive: 60-min fashion delivery startup Slikk to raise $10 Mn led by Nexus Slikk, a fashion delivery platform promising 60-minute delivery, is all set to raise another funding round following its recent seed investment, sources familiar with the matter told Entrackr. "Nexus is spearheading a $10 million funding round at a $40 million valuation," said one of the sources. "The deal has already been finalized, and existing investors are expected to participate." On Tuesday, Slikk announced $3.2 million seed round led by Lightspeed with participation from Multiply Ventures and angel investors including Abhishek Goyal (Tracxn), Abhinav Pathak (Perpule), Madhav Tandan, Nikhil (Panthera), and Saurabh Gupta (DST Global). Slikk targets young, impulse-driven shoppers, including students, professionals, and trend-savvy urbanites influenced by social media. Over the next five years, it plans to expand into tier I and tier II cities, offering 60-minute fashion delivery while diversifying into seven-plus lifestyle categories. The startup features more than 80 brands, including Snitch, The Souled Store, Freakins, Uptownie, Off Duty, Bonkers, and Bewakoof. "Quick commerce is trending, and investors have recently shown strong interest in the fashion segment. With Myntra introducing a 30-minute delivery service for fashion and beauty products, more startups are likely to follow suit and seek funding,” said another source. Slikk declined to comment on the story while queries sent to Nexus did not elicit an immediate response.

Founded by Akshay Gulati, Om Prakash Swami, and Bipin Singh, Slikk currently delivers fashion products within 60 minutes across Bengaluru. It operates a Try & Buy model, providing rapid delivery and refunds. The platform targets college students, young professionals, and urban consumers influenced by social trends. The brand features more than 80 brands, including Snitch, The Souled Store, Freakins, Uptownie, Off Duty, Bonkers, and Bewakoof. Slikk plans to expand into beauty and personal care, footwear, accessories, and wearables. The company is also preparing to implement instant returns to increase customer satisfaction and reduce friction in the buying process. "We backed Slikk at the seed stage because their take on fashion commerce was refreshingly ahead of its time. The team built a product that truly resonates with its customers, reflected in strong retention and engagement. We are happy to double down on our investment and support Akshay and the team's focus on newer categories and reaching a wider audience across India," added Rahul Taneja, Partner, Lightspeed.

Quick fashion delivery startup KNOT raises $3 Mn led by Kae Capital Mumbai-based quick commerce fashion platform KNOT has raised $3 million in a pre-Series A round led by Kae Capital with participation from Sparrow Capital, Boundless Ventures LLP, and founders of SNITCH, The Souled Store, and Bonkers Corner. Existing investors WEH Ventures, All In Capital, and Kumar Saurabh (Aukera Jewellery) also backed the round. The new funding will fuel product development, expansion beyond Mumbai, and deepen brand partnerships. Founded in 2025 by Archit Nanda and Rachit Bansal, KNOT is reimagining online fashion delivery with its 60-minute delivery model and Try ‘n Buy experience in Mumbai. The idea was born after the duo pivoted from their earlier venture Slick, spotting a major gap in how Gen Z and millennials discover and shop for fashion. KNOT currently claims to have partnered with over 70 fashion brands, fulfilling thousands of orders monthly. Its standout features include AI-based virtual try-ons, doorstep trials with instant returns, and influencer-led discovery. In the same space, ZILO secured $4.5 million in seed funding led by Info Edge Ventures and Chiratae Ventures, last month. Fashion delivery startup Slikk also secured $10 million in funding. Myntra, which launched rapid apparel delivery in December 2024, has now extended the service to additional cities.
