Tryo<\/a>, a next-generation fashion shopping marketplace, has raised Rs 3 crore in pre-seed funding<\/a> round led by Zeropearl VC<\/a>. The funding will be used to launch operations in Bangalore, accelerate product and technology development, and strengthen partnerships with leading Indian fashion brands to reimagine how consumers shop for apparel online.<\/p>\n

Tryo was founded in January 2025 by Meet Saparia<\/a>, Arjav Patni & Shiva Singh, following a series of product pivots and hundreds of conversations with consumers. The idea was born from a simple but powerful insight: while most urban consumers had shifted online for groceries, food, and essentials, fashion remained a category dominated by offline behaviour. Shoppers repeatedly expressed concerns about not being able to trust online platforms when it came to fit, fabric, and how the outfit would look in real life. Most urban shoppers still prefer offline shopping because online shopping often involves guesswork\u2014about fit, feel, and appearance. And when something doesn\u2019t fit, it leads to the hassle of returns. However, offline shopping in metro cities isn\u2019t easy either\u2014long commutes, crowded malls, and packed trial rooms make it a tiring experience. <\/p>\n

Meet Saparia, Co-Founder of Tryo, said in a statement, \u201cThe idea for Tryo emerged when we noticed that even tech-savvy users were avoiding fashion shopping online. There was a clear trust gap around how clothes would actually feel and look. With Zeropearl VC backing us at this early stage, we now have the momentum to bring our vision to life. We want to give users the convenience of online shopping without compromising on the confidence they get from trying things on. This funding allows us to build with speed, care, and complete focus on the user experience.\u201d
Tryo allows users to order up to ten fashion items across styles and sizes for zero rupees, try them at home, pay for what they keep and return the rest instantly to the same delivery partner. The platform currently features curated collections from over twenty-five premium menswear and womenswear brands including Virgio, The Souled Store, The Bear House, Nishorama, and Bewakoof. The company offers both sixty-minute and scheduled delivery options.<\/p>\n

The company operates on a dark-store model with end-to-end logistics and quality control managed entirely in-house. The delivery fleet is specially trained to handle doorstep trials and on-the-spot quality checks of returned items, ensuring a seamless experience from warehouse to wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Bipin Shah<\/a>, Founder and Managing Partner of Zeropearl VC, said, \u201cWe are excited to back the team at Tryo. It\u2019s literally like creating a trial room at home\u2014with zero upfront payment. Their deep understanding of fashion consumers and bold approach to convenience-led commerce stood out to us. This isn\u2019t just about faster delivery\u2014it\u2019s about rethinking the entire decision-making process in fashion shopping. We believe Tryo is poised to reshape how India shops for apparel.\u201dThe newly raised capital will be deployed towards building scalable technology, expanding delivery operations across Bangalore, and onboarding additional brand partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tryo, a next-generation fashion shopping marketplace, has raised Rs 3 crore in pre-seed funding round led by Zeropearl…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[50850,28,158,50851,50847,50848,48210,50849],"class_list":{"0":"post-70306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entrepreneurship","8":"tag-bipin-shah","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-entrepreneurship","11":"tag-meet-saparia","12":"tag-pre-seed-funding","13":"tag-try-first-pay-later","14":"tag-tryo","15":"tag-zeropearl-vc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
