BRANDIS MANUFACTURING RAISES RS 70 CR FROM PEEPUL CAPITAL III

NOVEMBER 8, 2012

 

Brandis will use the money to expand its operations, establish its production facilities and build its brands

 

Brandis Manufacturing and Marketing Private Limited, an emerging player in the Lingerie and the men’s Active-wear segment, today announced that it has raised Rs 700.000 Millions in multiple tranches, with Peepul Capital Fund III LLC as the sole investor.

 

Brandis Manufacturing and Marketing Private Limited is in the process of building national presence in the Lingerie and the men Active-wear segments through its brands BEYOUTY and 2GO respectively.

 

Brandis will use the money to expand its operations, establish its production facilities and build its brands. Its products are presently retailed across 2,000 stores in the country.


The women apparel market in India is Rs 720500.000 Millions and the lingerie market contributes to 10.83% of the total women’s apparel market in India. The highly fragmented lingerie market is pegged at Rs 78000.000 Millions growing at 12% per annum, with very few consolidated brands.


“There is a huge gap in the expectations of women consumers and the brand offerings in the segment. Brandis aims to narrow this gap and climb up the brand preference ladder of the woman consumer through its brand BEYOUTY,” Nischal Puri, Managing Director, Brandis Manufacturing and Marketing Private Limited said.


2GO, the second brand owned by Brandis offers a range of men’s active-wear. The Indian consumer buys Rs 30000.000 Millions worth of active wear in a year and the segment is growing at a healthy rate of 22% per annum.


Brandis addresses a market of Rs 85000.000 Millions between BEYOUTY and 2 GO.

 
Brandis is our first growth capital investment in the apparel space. Our belief is that the space is still very fragmented and there is a tremendous opportunity for a player that is able to present the right product-pricing-imagery matrix to the consumer,” Venkat Shankar, Investment Director, Peepul Capital Advisors Private Limited said.

 

HOW NISCHAL PURI'S 'BRANDIS' HAS MANAGED A PAN-INDIA PRESENCE ACROSS 2,000 STORES IN A YEAR

SEPTEMBER 3, 2012

 

The idea of starting my own venture was a natural progression in my career after having moved up the corporate ladder for 12 years. When I completed my MBA in marketing from the University of Lincolnshire, UK, in 1998, I joined the apparel and innerwear industry.

 

After working for several companies, I ended up heading the marketing division of Jockey India between 2004 and 2008, and then took over as the CEO of Forbes brands, a divison of Gokak Textiles, of the Shapoorji Pallonji group.

 

Having understood the basics of the business, it made sense to start something of my own in the same industry segment. So I quit my corporate career in August 2010 and decided to start Brandis Manufacturing and Marketing in Bangalore.

 

It was easier said than done. While starting out, a lot of entrepreneurs spend time on networking, identifying channel partners, and procuring raw material. For me, this was relatively easy since I had been in the industry for a long time. The hurdles I faced were in dealing with the banks since they were the toughest to convince about the concept.

 

The means that the banks use to analyse and screen a business idea for funding continues to be archaic and they are unwilling to offer financial support to new ventures. In fact, the bank loan of Rs 10.000 Millions that I finally got, took 10 months to arrive. So even before the foundation of the business had been laid, I realised that I had chosen a difficult and unpredictable path for myself.

 

Armed with a seed capital of Rs 2.300 Millions from my personal savings, I had started working on the business model, getting channel partners and raw material in place, in August 2010. However, we managed to launch only in May 2011 once the bank loan came through. I decided to kick off in the premium segment and BEYOUTY, our women's lingerie brand, was launched in five cities-Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Chandigarh-in the first month. The reason for picking the premium segment was simple.

 

The mass market for innerwear is dominated by either unorganised, local players, or by much bigger companies, and to compete with them, we would have to produce a lot more, for a lot less. By sticking to the premium brand, we were able to keep a tight check on quality by procuring the raw material on our own and outsourcing just the stitching. By February 2012, we managed to launch 2GO, the men's segment of innerwear.

 

Within the first five months of launching BEYOUTY, we had spread across India. Our turnover in the first year of operations was Rs 35.000 Millions. The decision to spread out to the entire country was a calculated move since it is easy to be branded a regional player in this industry, and we wanted to avoid this.


We received an overwhelming response right from the start. I did not expect such a high demand for our products, and at one point, this turned into a problem. In April 2012, we were unable to supply the quantity that the market wanted. I remember that a number of channel partners complained about how we were unable to fulfill the market need. Since we had failed to anticipate this, we were forced to increase our prices to cut demand. It did not help that a second loan of Rs 10.000 Millions from another public-sector bank, for which we had applied around this time, was delayed by three months.
