“As we scale, our focus is on building a strong operating backbone alongside the brand. This round gives us the ability to strengthen our supply chain, expand across key digital channels, and execute with discipline while staying true to the brand we are building,” said Singhal.
The round saw participation from several angel investors such as Shashank Kumar of Razorpay, Arjit Johri of Marsshot VC, Yash Jain of NimbusPost, Karan Jindal of Meta, and Nishank Jain of Accel.
“Nail care remains underpenetrated in India, with consumers still largely dependent on time-
intensive salon visits. As convenience and self-expression become stronger drivers in beauty choices, press-on nails can unlock more frequent and experimental usage. Nailinit is tapping into this shift with a design-first approach and is well-positioned to expand beyond press-ons into adjacent nail care categories,” said Gauri Kuchhal, fund manager at GCCF.
