Zouk raises seed funding

Mumbai: Zouk, a vegan lifestyle brand, has raised an undisclosed amount as part of a seed funding round from a clutch of investors.

In a statement, the company says it will use the capital it has raised to focus on aspects of its business including the expansion of product range, hiring talent, and streamlining the supply chain.

Zouk was set up by Disha Singh and Pradeep Krishnakumar, both of whom are alumni of the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad. The company says its products include bags, wallets, and accessories. These items are handmade by artisans at its in-house facility in Mumbai.

“Having taken their vegan bags to over 30,000 customers, they have reached early product-market fit,” Mamaearth co-founder Varun Alagha said.
