A Gen Z women's fashion brand, Outzidr has raised $3.1 million (Rs 27 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round. Led by RTP Global, the funding round also witnessed participation by existing investor Stellaris Venture Partners.

This funding follows a previous seed round of approximately $3.5 million (Rs 30 crore), which was led by Stellaris Venture Partners. The fresh capital will be used to fuel the next phase of growth, including the launch of its first exclusive brick-and-mortar store by March 2026. Outzidr also plans to expand its design, operations, and technology teams.

Co-founded in 2024 by Nirmal Jain, Mani Kant Mani, and Justin Mario, Outzidr is a digital-first brand that offers trendy western wear for Indian women aged 18–28. The brand is designed for modern women and a wide range of occasions, from brunches and date nights to music gigs and travel.

Outzidr uses a ‘test and scale’ model to pilot small batches of products and then increase production for bestsellers. The brand launches up to 2,000 new styles every month, or 500 per week, through its own direct-to-consumer (D2C) platform and major marketplaces like Ajio, Myntra, and Nykaa Fashion.

Representing the fast-paced, fresh and fearless energy of the new generation, Outzidr targets a brand that listens, learns and reacts in real time, says Nirmal Jain, Co-founder and CEO. This fundraiser validates the brand’s mission to become the everyday fashion choice for Gen Z women, he adds

According to market research, currently valued at around $10 billion, India’s fast-fashion market is projected to grow to over $50 billion by 2031.

In just five months, the brand claims to have acquired more than 100,000 customers, achieved a retention rate of 1.5x, and introduced over 8,000 styles. Outzidr's main competitors in the fast-fashion space include NewMe, Zudio, and Style Union.
