Label Shaurya Sanadhya Raises Financing From Velocity
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) online fashion clothing brand Label Shaurya Sanadhya has raised an undisclosed amount from Velocity.in, India’s largest revenue-based financier.
Founded by Shaurya Sanadhya, a multi-faceted Pune-based fashionista-turned-entrepreneur, the brand offers ethnic wear, western wear, festive wear, accessories, etc for women at attractive prices.
Shaurya is an Instagram influencer, blogger, and Youtuber who creates content for different categories such as fashion, beauty, lifestyle, travel and food. She also recently launched her own line of herbal skincare products under the brand name “Aryam”.
“After completing my MSc in Economics and working with an MNC for one year, I wasn’t very happy with what I was doing. During college I had walked the ramp for reputed designers like Rohit Bal, Swapnil Shinde and Nivedita Saboo and therefore always dreamed of having my own fashion brand. Today, our brand stands for quality products and exciting designs. The funds raised from Velocity.in will be used to expand our product line as well as generate more brand awareness.” says Shaurya, Founder, Label Shaurya Sanadhya.
Speaking about the financing, Amit Tulshyan, CEO of Shaurya Sandhya said “We chose to raise financing from Velocity because we see a lot of value in their holistic funding plus analytics offering. We’ve been using Velocity Insights to track our key D2C KPIs for a while and have found it to very convenient and effective. Now it’s become a part of our daily routine where every morning we look forward to getting an update on our business performance via WhatsApp.”
