What they do

The Souled Store is a Mumbai apparel brand that sells its clothing directly to shoppers rather than through middlemen

What happened

It is negotiating a ₹400–500 crore deal led by 360 One Asset Management, made up mostly of existing shares changing hands

Why it matters

The deal could value the company at ₹4,000–5,000 crore, over three times its previous valuation of ₹1,500 crore

The details

  • The Souled Store is in talks to raise ₹400–500 crore.
  • 360 One Asset Management is leading the deal.
  • Most of the money will buy shares from existing holders (a secondary sale), not new shares.
  • The deal may value the brand at ₹4,000–5,000 crore.
  • Its previous valuation was ₹1,500 crore.

The bigger picture

  • A jump of more than three times shows strong investor demand for the brand.
  • Secondary sales give early backers and staff a way to cash out without a listing.

About the business

  • It sells licensed fan merchandise: t-shirts, boxers, backpacks, mobile covers, socks and badges based on films, shows, sports teams and musicians.
  • Its buyers are young shoppers who want to wear their favourite characters and teams.
  • It makes money by selling its own branded products online and through its own shops.
  • What sets it apart is its official licences with entertainment brands.
  • It reported about ₹492 Cr operating revenue in FY25, up 37% on the year before.
  • Based in Mumbai, it has a community of over 5 million active customers and 36+ offline stores.
