Bengaluru-based fashion quick-commerce startup Slikk has raised $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners. Existing investor Lightspeed also participated in the round. The fresh investment will help the company strengthen its position in India’s growing fashion quick-commerce market.
Founded in 2024 by Akshay Gulati, Om Prakash Swami, and Bipin Singh, Slikk delivers fashion products within 60 minutes across Bengaluru. The startup focuses on making online fashion shopping faster, more convenient, and trend-driven.
The company operates on a Try & Buy model. Customers can try products before making a purchase. Additionally, Slikk primarily serves college students, young professionals, and urban consumers who closely follow social media trends.
Earlier, in March 2025, Slikk raised $3.2 million in a seed funding round led by Lightspeed. Moreover, Multiply Ventures and several angel investors also participated in that round.
Expansion Plans
With the newly raised capital, Slikk plans to expand into footwear, apparel, beauty products, accessories, wearables, and personal care. The company also aims to strengthen its technology infrastructure and improve the overall shopping experience.
Furthermore, Slikk will continue developing its curated fashion platform. It also plans to enhance customer satisfaction by offering features such as instant refunds and a seamless shopping experience. These initiatives are designed to attract Gen Z and young millennial shoppers.
Speaking about the company’s vision, CEO Akshay Gulati said:
“We believe the next evolution of e-commerce lies in bridging speed, convenience, and trend-driven shopping. Our model is built for Gen Z and young millennials who don’t want to wait and are driven by instant gratification.”
Building a Faster Fashion Experience
Currently, Slikk operates through micro-fulfilment centres across Bengaluru. The company stocks inventory based on local demand forecasts, customer preferences, and social media trends. As a result, it can deliver products quickly while keeping its catalogue aligned with the latest fashion trends.
The startup also focuses on college students, urban professionals, and influencer-driven consumers who expect both speed and variety. Meanwhile, its curated product selection helps customers discover trending fashion without spending hours browsing online.
India’s Tier I and Tier II cities are becoming increasingly mobile-first and fashion-conscious. Therefore, Slikk sees a significant opportunity to expand its fast, reliable, and return-friendly fashion delivery service across the country. The company believes this strategy will help it reach more customers and strengthen its presence in India’s rapidly growing quick-commerce market.
