Bengaluru | August 7, 2025 — Outzidr, a fashion label built for India’s go‑anywhere Gen Z women, has raised ₹27 crore (≈ $3.1 million) in a pre‑Series A round led by RTP Global, along with participation from existing investor Stellaris Venture Partners.
Founded in 2024 by fashion veterans Nirmal Jain, Mani Kant Mani, and Justin Mario, Outzidr blends fast fashion with data intelligence to stay ahead of trends. In just five months, it has served over 125,000 customers, launched thousands of styles, and is tracking toward a ₹100 crore annualized run‑rate by year‑end.
The fresh funding will power:
- Launch of its first offline store by March 2026
- Expansion of design, operations, and tech teams
- Development of a rapid delivery model to enhance speed across platforms like Myntra, Ajio, and Nykaa Fashion.
Outzidr’s “test and scale” model starts with limited-run batches sometimes as few as 10 pieces and gauges customer response via clicks, wishlists, and cart data before scaling winners.
