Last year, Fynd completed preliminary testing of its business model and was scaling up business from Mumbai to nationwide. "Around the same time, Anand, Ramakant, and Rajiv amongst others showed interest in our concept and the company and decided to help us in achieving our goals," Shah added.

Recently, Fynd also launched a new feature called 'Fynd Store' which enables brands to capture the maximum number of sales, build sustainable loyalty and benefit from cross-selling opportunities across different stores of the same brand.
