With the trust of investing partners and infusion of fresh equity, we aggressively integrate forward and backward in the chain and open foreign/export markets over the next 12 months while growing profitably.”
Over the past three years, Poshn has experienced remarkable growth while maintaining profitability. The company’s revenue has increased six-fold from FY22 to FY24. Since its inception, the startup has marked a presence in more than 16 states in India.
