KNOT, a Mumbai-based 60-minute fashion delivery platform, has raised $5 million in a fresh funding round led by 12 Flags. The round also saw participation from existing investors Kae Capital and Boundless Ventures.
This new funding comes just three months after KNOT raised $3 million in its pre-Series A funding round in August 2025.
The fresh capital raised will be used to expand its 60-minute delivery network in Mumbai and other geographies, strengthening micro-warehousing, routing efficiency, and last-mile operations to support higher order volumes. The company is also expanding its brand portfolio and is onboarding leading premium labels, including Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, and Allen Solly.
Founded in 2025 by Archit Nanda and Rachit Bansal, KNOT is a fashion delivery platform enabling 60-minute delivery with a Try-&-Buy experience. KNOT blends the convenience of online shopping with the confidence of offline retail, directly at home.
KNOT reimagining how India discovers and shops fashion, combining hyperlocal distribution, creator-led discovery, and doorstep trials to deliver a frictionless, on-demand experience for Gen Z and millennial shoppers.
The company is backed by leading early-stage investors, including Kae Capital, WEH Ventures, iSeed, All In Capital, Titan Capital, and Sparrow Capital.
KNOT has already reached 350+ daily orders – a 3X surge in just 3 months.
Archit Nanda, Founder and CEO of KNOT, said, “For us, the real opportunity lies at the intersection of culture and commerce. Fashion today is shaped by creators, micro-trends, and real people, not catalog pages. KNOT brings that cultural energy to your doorstep within 60 minutes. With most of our previous round still untouched, this new capital adds fuel to scale our network and expand the KNOT experience to more users across geographies.”
Rakesh Kapoor, Founder and CIO of 12 Flags, said, “The speed of cultural change is outpacing the speed of retail, giving rise to the need for ultra-fast, mood-based fashion. KNOT is tapping into this behaviour trend – young shoppers want style that matches the moment. The scale of the opportunity is exciting — millions of occasions each day where people want to look and feel their best. We’re proud to partner with Archit and Rachit – a team building not just a business, but a new way India chooses its fashion — fast, fearless and full of self-expression.”
Natasha Malpani, Founder of Boundless Ventures, said, “KNOT is not just making fashion faster. They’re rebuilding the AI-driven infrastructure for how the next generation discovers, tries, and buys. Their ability to combine fit intelligence, curated demand, and high-velocity fulfilment is creating a new operating system for fashion in India. We backed them early and are doubling down because they’re defining a new category.”
