"We would be opening 8-10 stores in the next one year and initially these are going to be in metros including NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune in the first phase," FabAlley CEO Shivani Poddar told PTI.

Founded in 2012, FabAlley has so far raised USD 2.5 million in two rounds of funding and is looking for a next round by next year.
