What the CEO has to say

What the Investors have to say
Accel Partners, Principal Pratik Agarwal, said, “At Accel, we’re delighted to deepen our commitment and relationship with the Fashinza team. Their electric execution against their vision inspires us to help fashion brands adapt to the e-commerce era with Fashinza’s agile manufacturing capabilities. We also admire Abhishek’s and Pawan’s priority to build a strong leadership team very early on. The early success Fashinza has achieved serving global brands validates the massive opportunity they’re going after. We’re confident Fashinza can serve as a role model for more Indian startups building for the world from the get-go. We’re grateful for this partnership and super excited for the future!”
Elevation Capital Vice President, Akarsh Shrivastava, remarked, “COVID-19 has further underscored the need for agility and responsiveness for brands. Over the past year, Fashinza has been able to design and deliver an offering that addresses multiple issues in the supply chain, thereby alleviating this need for their brand customers and supplier base. Growth and customer satisfaction have only strengthened our belief in the opportunity. It has been a pleasure and privilege to work with Pawan, Abhishek and the rockstar Fashinza team as they disrupt this $600 bn opportunity. Super thrilled to deepen our commitment and relationship with Fashinza.“
