Rapid Delivery's in Fashion at Ecomm, New-age Apparel Cos
HighlightsNew direct-to-consumer brand Snitch has launched a pilot project for its quick fashion delivery service in Bengaluru, joining other brands like Newme, Slikk, and ecommerce platforms such as Myntra, Ajio, and Nykaa in exploring ultra-fast delivery for fashion and apparel. Slikk, which offers delivery within 60 minutes, recently raised $10 million in funding led by Nexus Venture Partners, while Snitch has secured $40 million from 360 One Asset to expand its offline retail presence and enter the quick commerce segment. Industry experts caution that the rush towards rapid fashion delivery may be an overhyped extension of the quick commerce trend, noting that the supply chain for fashion is significantly more complex than that of grocery delivery. New-age brands like Newme, Slikk and Blipp, as well as ecommerce platforms such as Myntra, Ajio and Nykaa are all exploring ultra-fast delivery for fashion and apparel. The latest to join the race is Bengaluru-based D2C brand Snitch. Its founder Siddharth Dungarwal told ET that the company has launched a pilot project for its own quick fashion delivery service in Bengaluru last week. Seeing the rush, venture capitalists are betting on the segment. Slikk, which promises delivery within 60 minutes, recently raised $10 million (about Rs 85 crore) in a round led by Nexus Venture Partners. Snitch has raised as much as $40 million from 360 One Asset, with the proceeds to be used for expanding its offline retail presence to more than 100 stores by the end of 2025 and entering quick commerce. Some industry insiders believe this may be another overhyped extension of the quick commerce narrative. The model is new and comes with its own set of challenges. The push towards rapid delivery began with quick commerce platforms like Zepto, Swiggy Instamart and Blinkit expanding the categories of products they deliver. These platforms, which were initially focusing on grocery delivery, partnered with brands like Jockey, Manyavar, Puma and Adidas to offer apparel and accessories, although limited to essentials such as innerwear, socks, gym wear, basic tees and track pants. This opened up a gap for fashion-first players to offer broader selections with quick fulfilment. "Fashion is an experiential category. The supply chain required for fashion and lifestyle is far more complex than grocery," said Akshay Gulati, cofounder and chief executive of Slikk.

Fintechs tap rising health insurance costs with EMI-based premium financing for corporates, individuals
As health insurance premiums steadily rise, a growing crop of fintech startups is stepping in to offer relief, not by slashing costs, but by spreading them out. Premium financing, once a niche product, is now gaining traction in the insurance ecosystem. A facility once available only to individuals is now being extended to corporates, allowing them to pay hefty premiums through equated monthly installments (EMIs). At the heart of this new wave are firms like BimaPay Finsure , Finsall among others which are carving out a unique space between insurers, lenders, and underserved customers. These fintechs offer short-term financing for health insurance premiums directly at the point of sale, with interest rates ranging from 16% to 20%. Earlier limited to individuals, the product is now being extended to corporates as well. These platforms partner with insurers to offer 'Buy Now, Pay Later' for premiums. 'The corporate insurance premium market in India is vast, with many businesses needing to secure group health, fire and lack of financing options makes it difficult for many MSMEs to afford large upfront payments,' said Hanut Mehta c-founder and CEO BimaPay Finsure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo Market players see potential coming from the annual health insurance premium market of around Rs 60,000 crore, of which nearly 15% or Rs 9,000 to Rs 10,000 crore, could be up for financing, according to estimates by industry players. Health insurance premiums have been rising consistently due to surging healthcare costs, which has been hurting affordability and penetration. Of the Rs 1 lakh crore collected in health insurance premiums last year, group business accounted for the largest share at 51.68%, followed by individual policies at 38.55%, and government schemes at 9.77% Live Events These fintechs do not lend themselves, but partner with NBFCs and banks, earning through a spread between the hurdle rate, which is 12–17% charged by lenders and the end customer's rate, which is 18–20%. 'We're tech facilitators,' said Mehta. 'We comply with RBI's digital lending norms but don't come under direct regulatory oversight. We don't do direct acquisition as we are embedded in the insurer's ecosystem.' Though these loans are unsecured, fintechs have an unusual mitigation tactic where the policy itself acts as collateral. 'If an EMI is not paid, the insurance policy can be cancelled,' said Prabal Khanna co-founder Finsall, adding that the corporate segment is gaining traction. 'That becomes a very strong incentive for the customer to repay, because otherwise they lose their cover, and they also risk a hit on their credit score.' Corporates typically make a 20% down payment, and the rest is financed over 9–20 months, depending on the policy tenure. On the corporate side, policies financed can reach Rs 1 crore, with an average size of Rs 10–15 lakh. On the individual side, the average ticket size in the retail segment is Rs 50,000, though loans can go up to Rs 7 lakh. For instance, currently, BimaPay, for corporate financing, has onboarded two insurers and are piloting with a Rs 20 crore disbursement goal.
