The company, which was launched in August last year by former McKinsey and GroupM employees, has positioned itself as a luxury brand.
The Internet-first company sells its products through a subscription model. It claims to get 400 orders a month and plans to scale to about 30,000 orders a month in the next six months.
The company competes with the likes of Delhi-based Helios Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd, which runs the Man Co., an e-commerce site for men’s grooming products. Helios raised angel funding last year.
Other subscription-based e-commerce companies include Fabbag and Enchantess, which provide beauty, makeup and grooming products for women and men.
