Virgio

Virgio sells contemporary clothing and repositioned its business from fast fashion toward circularity and sustainability in 2023. Founded by former Myntra CEO Amar Nagaram, it uses technology in its fashion operations and promotes material reuse and recycling. The brand also provides garment-level information through digital tags.

Why we're watching

Its repositioning provides a case study in whether a venture-backed fashion business can make circularity central to its product and operating decisions.

Funding

Virgio raised $37 million in Series A funding in 2022 from Prosus Ventures, Accel and Alpha Wave.
