The startup will use the funds to expand its product offerings, production capabilities and market presence domestically and internationally.
Founded in 2018 by Ayush Baid and Riddhima Khandelwal, ellementry is an online and offline homeware and gifting brand. It has its in-house manufacturing setup across various materials, including terracotta, ceramic, wood and paper mâché.
The startup’s products are available offline in 16 stores across 13 cities in India and online on platforms like Amazon, Tata Cliq, and Myntra among others.
The startup is also present in the US, Europe and the Middle East. They aim to double the number of customers in the next 12 months.
