Casual wear and apparel brand The Souled Store on Monday said Bollywood actor Sara Ali Khan has invested an undisclosed amount in it. In August last year, the start-up had raised Rs 75 crore in a Series-B funding round led by Elevation Capital.
Commenting on Khan’s investment, The Souled Store co-founder Rohin Samtaney said, “Her quirky and experimentative styling best reflects our brand image. We couldn’t have found a better investor and partner. We expect this collaboration will lead to great things together.”
On her association with the brand, Khan said that in a short span of time, The Souled Store (TSS) has carved a niche for itself in the casual wear space.
“Being an ardent pop-culture lover, and a firm believer in originality and comfort being as important as fashion, I see the brand as a perfect fit to invest in. I look forward to being part of the TSS family,” she added.
