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.
