The latest episode of Shark Tank India featured the sharks— Azhar Iqubal Iqubal, Peyush Bansal, Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, and Amit Jain. In episode 26, Fabriclore’s founders — Vijay Sharma, Anupam, and Sandeep pitched their startup idea in front of judges. Their vision is to believe in simplifying fabric sourcing for fashion brands.
According to pitchers, Fabriclore is the first tech-enabled fabric-sourcing platform for private labels. It offers a variety of fabrics, printing, and dyeing, with low minimum order quantity at competitive pricing. Furthermore, they disclosed that they have collaborated with 200-plus vendors to create a production and design ecosystem.
After presenting their idea, pitchers asked for $82.8 thousand (₹68.7 lakhs) for 1 percent equity with a valuation of $8.2 million (₹68.7 Crore). Subsequently, they revealed that they had received an investment commitment of $964K (₹8 Crore) at a pre-money valuation of $6.7 million (₹56 Crore). Despite a lot of discussion, Fabriclore was unable to secure the deal with the sharks.
