Founded in 2014 by Anandita Singh and Manisha Barnwal along with Saahil Narang, ex-Bain & Co., Envoged is a social marketplace to buy and sell pre-owned branded fashion products. It offers a curated social community that helps users to sell and shop clothes and accessories from their personal closets.

Basically, it’s ‘re-commerce’ platform that helps users to renew their closet regularly with this colossal marketplace to shop from & sell into, and be in vogue with the latest trends.

Authenticity is crucial when it comes to shopping luxury online, therefore, the company has applied rigorous checks on every item they receive. Besides, it also checks for authenticity and determines the ideal resale price of each item.

The raised capital will be used for scaling up reach and driving tech innovation.

Filmstar Jackky also commented on this development, that he has closely seen how thousands of closets in the Indian fashion and Bollywood industry keep stocking up, and there is a clear opportunity for a platform like Envoged.
