DailyObjects, the Gurugram-based Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) tech accessories and lifestyle brand, has raised over INR 86 crore (more than $10 million) in a new funding round led by 360 One Ventures. This investment comes after a 30-month gap and marks a significant step in the brand’s growth journey.
Regulatory filings from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show that DailyObjects’ board has approved a special resolution to issue 8,118 compulsory convertible preference shares, aiming to raise INR 72 crore (about $8.6 million). Sources indicate that the company is on track to complete its Series B funding round with a total of $10 million.
