Bombay Swadeshi Stores to raise funds

Premium


Bombay Swadeshi Stores Ltd, which runs the gifts and home décor chain, The Bombay Store, is looking at raising seed funding for its latest venture, The Elephant Co., said a senior company executive.

“It is a little premature to talk numbers... The process is on, the thinking is on," he said. “But I would not put too many numbers to it right now." He expects The Elephant Co. to clock sales of Rs3 crore in its first year of operations and thereafter double in revenue in the second year.

The funding will be used to expand the retail footprint through standalone stores, kiosks and shop-in-shop stores. The first standalone store will come up in Ahmedabad, said Dalal.
