Comet

Comet is a lifestyle sneaker brand selling footwear for men and women. Launched in July 2023, it uses themed designs and storytelling to distinguish its products within the casual-footwear market. The business began primarily through its own website and has since expanded into standalone stores and selected multi-brand retailers.

Why we're watching

Its storytelling-led product strategy offers a way to assess how an independent Indian sneaker brand builds an identity beyond price and functionality.

Funding

In 2024, Comet raised $5 million from Elevation Capital and Nexus Venture Partners.
