Gagan Goyal, General Partner at India Quotient, said, “When we invested in Rapidbox in 2019, we took a bet that an affordable fashion brand with a focus on quality and a fast design-to-launch strategy will find a large market among the Indian youth. In the last 3 years, we saw that vision playing out as RapidBox grew with positive unit economics and high customer love. We are glad to back the team again and hope to create India’s own large value fashion brand like SheIn.”
“With the advent of social media, consumers of all ages are kept up to date with the latest footwear trends and have the same passion for these items. RapidBox fulfills these aspirations through rapid innovation to deliver beautiful shoes at price points that work for the economy segment, said Bhavani Rana, SIG’s Investment Adviser.
