Engineer Launches Fashion App to Deliver Trendy Clothes in 60 Minutes

Bengaluru clothes delivery startup Slikk promises to bring clothes to your doorstep in just 60 minutes. "If you can have groceries delivered to you in a few minutes, why shouldn't the same apply to clothes?" teases the app's advertisement. 

The 60 minutes clothes delivery plan

Slikk aims to make shopping fun, fast, and stress-free. With that goal in mind, they have introduced the latest trends, a legit try-and-buy option, and, for the first time in fashion, a 60-minute delivery option now available in Bengaluru. 

The brand has used the tagline, "For a generation that moves fast, Slikk is a fresh new way to shop", on its website. Indeed, this would be a unique shopping experience compared to any traditional fashion platform. 

Akshay Gulati, cofounder and CEO of Slikk, remarked, "Today's GenZ and young millennials are highly impulsive shoppers, making them a key target group for fast fashion brands." The young CEO is a mechanical engineer from Christ University, Bengaluru, and a former Program Manager at Amazon.

Funding led by a global venture capital firm

The brand has raised $300,000 in pre-seed funding led by Better Capital with participation from Untitled Ventures. 

Slikk plans to use the raised capital to scale its offerings to over 100 brands. Also, their plans include setting up a large-format dark store and expanding the delivery coverage to 70% of Bengaluru's pin codes.

Raising the industry standards for delivery business

In the future, Slikk plans to expand its product range. Besides clothes, it wants to include beauty, personal care, and home decor, addressing the entire lifestyle needs of its target customers. It also has plans to operate in other metropolitan cities in the country. 

Vaibhav Domkundwar, the CEO of Better Capital, has praised the founders, Akshay Gulati, Bipin Kumar Singh, and Om Prakash Swami of Slikk on LinkedIn. "It has been an incredible journey with Akshay, Bipin, and Om, from months of ideation & brutal user research to team & product building to going live in BLR. Early customer feedback has been mindblowing, and we can't wait to see the team build out the full vision slowly and steadily."
