Bengaluru-based fashion supply-chain platform Thimblerr has raised $1.4 million in a bridge round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with participation from 3one4 Capital, Mount Judi Ventures, Venture Catalysts and We Founder Circle.
The company will use the capital for customer acquisition, entering new categories, and strengthening its supply-chain network.
Thimblerr was founded in 2022 by IIT alumni Piyush Jalan and Rishav Papneja to help fashion brands move from concept to production with shorter timelines. The platform supports design, manufacturing and production planning, and works with more than a dozen brands including Tata Trent, USPA, Snitch and The Souled Store.
The company says it reduces the traditional 180-day cycle to 30–60 days and enables the creation of over 3,000 designs a month. It is building a network of cloud factories powered by an ecosystem of more than 800 machines and data-driven production systems.
Jalan said the company aims to bring speed, transparency and reliability to India’s fast fashion supply chain, and plans to connect more global brands with manufacturers in India’s $5 billion fast fashion market.
IPV has invested over Rs 800 crore across 250 startups and recently launched Physis Capital, a $50 million CAT II VC fund focused on growth-stage startups.
Thimblerr’s platform offers AI-enabled design tools, rapid prototyping, real-time production tracking, and access to a large materials library. The company positions itself as an infrastructure layer for India’s fast-fashion manufacturing ecosystem and continues to expand its client base across women’s, men’s, active and streetwear categories.
