KALKI Fashion Secures Rs 225 Cr From Lighthouse Funds To Expand Globally And Revolutionize Ethnic Wear Retail
KALKI Fashion, the country's premier occasion wear and bridal wear player, has raised a strategic Rs 225 crore funding from Lighthouse Funds. This is a milestone in the growth journey of the company to further consolidate its domestic play and become global.
Having eight operating showrooms well placed in prime metros, KALKI Fashion has been the name to watch out for new-gen Indian silhouettes. Its recent tie-up with Lighthouse Funds, an investor who has been betting on consumer transition businesses, is more than opening up funds. It's opening up a large scheme with aggressive global growth and creating a new retail and digital footprint for the company.
KALKI’s collection spans bridal couture, festive wear, and menswear, all delivered through a seamless blend of in-store and digital experiences. Its robust D2C platform now contributes 35% to total business, bolstered by virtual consultations, predictive styling tech, and efficient delivery models. The fresh funding will help enhance this architecture with personalization tools and a refined omnichannel journey—timed perfectly for the upcoming wedding season.
The capital infusion will also fuel KALKI’s retail expansion into untapped Indian cities and global fashion destinations. Limited-edition collections, faster trend adaptation cycles, and exclusive collaborations are also on the horizon, preserving the brand’s craftsmanship while scaling innovation.
With three-fourths of its web sales already being made in overseas markets—i.e., North America, Europe, and the Middle East—KALKI Fashion's foreign demand is sky-high. KALKI Fashion is also optimizing its supply chain with high-end inventory systems and cutting-edge production lines to provide speed, accuracy, and an improved process for customization.
Ranges like KALKI Weaves and Rooted by KALKI will continue to draw on India's fabric heritage for the fashion connoisseurs who seek handcrafted fashion. Founded on sound bottom-line performance, in-house manufacturing margins, and full-price retail strategy, KALKI Fashion is set for its next phase.
KALKI Fashion, established in Mumbai in 2007, is architecture-inspired, nature-inspired, art-inspired, and Indian handloom heritage-inspired—where innovation meets tradition. With this fresh funding, the brand will be growing globally with Indian occasion wear, not just selling clothes, but long-lasting symbols of fashion.
