TMRW has a presence across a broad spectrum of apparel segments ranging from casual wear, kid's wear to Western wear and plans to expand in related lifestyle categories including beauty & personal care, he added.
Prashanth Aluru, cofounder and chief executive TMRW said their investment should help these brands scale to become category leaders as well as category creators.
The group launched TMRW in June 2022 as digital first 'house of brands' venture in the fashion & lifestyle space with an aim to create the country's largest portfolio of disruptor brands in the fashion & lifestyle space and enable the next phase of direct-to-consumer market growth, which is projected to become a USD100 billion market by 2025.
At the launch the company had said over the next three years, TMRW would acquire and incubate over 30 innovative brands and will also enable multiple founders to operate within a synergistic house of brands platform that share a common vision and shared capabilities.
