Hence, this round is not just restricted to financial support but also enables strategic and advisory support for us,” said Chhavi Singh – Founder, Nestroots, a home decor startup.
Neeraj Tyagi- CEO & CO-Founder, We Founder Circle commented, “Consumer behavior in India has been gradually shifting towards urban lifestyle. This continuous shift has been driving the home decor market steadily. Also, globally during the current pandemic home decor has been the fastest growing category online, as homes have become the centre of attraction much beyond just living.
