Key Highlights

Within the next 18 to 24 months, the Bengaluru-based startup hopes to expand its physical store count to over 100, having already opened locations in six to seven cities. 

Through its own platform, the brand offers both partner-manufactured and in-house products for sale. In India's rapidly expanding travel gear market, it faces competition from other direct-to-consumer (D2C) players like Mokobara, Nasher Miles, Uppercase, and Acefour Accessories.
