In a world where attention spans are short and fashion trends move even faster, Slikk is racing ahead to meet consumer expectations — and investors are on board for the ride. The 60-minute fashion delivery startup has raised $10 million in a Series A round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from existing backer Lightspeed, marking its second funding round in just two months.
The fresh capital comes on the heels of a $3.2 million seed round led by Lightspeed, alongside Multiply Ventures and a group of angel investors — signaling strong investor conviction in the brand’s promise of hyper-speed, hyper-relevant fashion.
Founded by Akshay Gulati, Om Prakash Swami, and Bipin Singh, Slikk has carved a niche in the fast-paced Bengaluru market with a bold premise: deliver fashion to your doorstep in under an hour. Operating on a “Try & Buy” model, the platform not only delivers quickly but also offers instant refunds — turning impulse into instant gratification with little buyer’s remorse.
Currently catering to college students, young professionals, and trend-savvy urban consumers, Slikk features over 80 youth-centric fashion brands including Snitch, The Souled Store, Freakins, Uptownie, Off Duty, Bonkers, and Bewakoof. But it’s not stopping there. With its new funding, the startup plans to expand into adjacent lifestyle categories such as beauty, personal care, footwear, accessories, and wearables, and introduce instant returns to further smooth the customer journey.
“We backed Slikk at the seed stage because their take on fashion commerce was refreshingly ahead of its time,” said Rahul Taneja, Partner at Lightspeed. “The team built a product that truly resonates with its customers, reflected in strong retention and engagement.”
While quick follow-up funding rounds were common during the exuberant 2021–22 boom, it’s far rarer in the more cautious climate of 2025. Slikk’s back-to-back raises signal more than investor confidence — they reflect a market validation for speed-led commerce in an era where convenience is no longer a luxury, but an expectation.
With expansion plans underway across more urban pin codes and new product verticals, Slikk is gearing up to become the go-to platform for instant lifestyle upgrades. As it continues to blend speed with style, the brand is not just riding the trend wave — it’s setting the pace.
