Slikk, an Indian fashion delivery startup, has raised $10 million to fuel its expansion beyond Bengaluru, aiming to offer urban consumers a lightning-fast Try & Buy experience with seamless instant returns, all while redefining how the next generation shops.

The 60-minute fashion delivery startup has raised the Series A round led by Nexus Venture Partners, marking a major milestone as it eyes expansion into new lifestyle categories and broader urban coverage.

Slikk is reinventing how young urban consumers shop for apparel. With its Try & Buy model and commitment to instant returns, the platform delivers top fashion picks from 80+ brands across Bengaluru in just one hour. From college students to trend-savvy professionals, users embrace the platform for speed, ease, and style, qualities rarely found together in traditional online fashion.

“Slikk, since inception, has delivered a high-quality customer experience through our 60-minute delivery model. Brands have been able to unlock new users at a hyperlocal level. With this new round, we intend to double down on that promise and offer a significantly wider range of products and experiences to our customers,” said Akshay Gulati.

Slikk, Big Backing for Bold Expansion

The funding round follows a $3.2 million seed round led by Lightspeed just two months ago, underscoring rapid investor confidence. Lightspeed doubled down in Series A, joined by Multiply Ventures and other angels, betting on Slikk’s ability to diversify into footwear, wearables, accessories, and beauty and personal care.

Co-founders Akshay Gulati (CEO), Om Prakash Swami (CTO), and Bipin Singh (CPO) bring deep roots in the industry. Together, they’re not just solving logistics—they’re crafting India’s fastest fashion destination. With its agile supply chain and high user retention, Slikk is poised to scale far beyond Bengaluru.

“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.

Next Moves: More Categories, More Cities, and Instant Returns

Fueled by fresh capital, the startup will introduce instant returns, enabling frictionless refunds at your doorstep—a first for India’s fashion commerce. Simultaneously, it plans to bring its fashion delivery magic to other major metros.

By incorporating newer lifestyle categories and strengthening logistics, Slikk aims to serve millions more in minutes, not days.

As Gen Z and millennials redefine shopping behavior, Slikk’s model blends immediacy with confidence. Shoppers can try before they buy, return instantly, and access fashion that aligns with the latest social trends—all within 60 minutes. In a post-2021 funding world, raising two rounds in two months is nearly unheard of. Yet, Slikk is doing just that, delivering more than clothes: it’s delivering a movement.

“Having watched quick commerce reshape India’s consumer behavior, we firmly believe fashion is the definitive next frontier for digital disruption. The Slikk team’s deep category insights and strategic execution are precisely what this moment demands,” Pratik Poddar, Partner at Nexus Venture Partners.
