Founded by Neel Bafna and Prashant Lalwani, the Bengaluru-based brand focuses on delivering high-quality, fast fashion tailored for young Indian consumers. The company said its omnichannel model—integrating digital innovation with exclusive brand outlets—provides a seamless and elevated shopping experience across the country.
According to Bafna, Pitch To Get Rich proved to be a defining milestone for the brand, validating its vision of building an Indian fashion label with global aspirations. He said the record-breaking funding and flagship store launch symbolise not only business growth but also the trust placed in the brand by customers and investors alike.
Prashant Lalwani noted that Banana Club exemplifies the evolution of Indian fashion entrepreneurship driven by scale and strategic growth. He remarked that the funding round and flagship launch signal the start of a robust retail expansion plan, with several new stores in the pipeline.
