The Indian market has suddenly changed in the footwear industry, where Yoho, a D2C that is now a well-famed name, stands at the forefront.

Yoho is the brand backed by Rukam Capital, co-founders of the big companies Ahmad Hushsham and Prateek Singhal, which has gained remarkable success thanks to the solution of a consumer need - footwear of high quality, comfort, style and last but not least, the budget-friendly ones.

The Genesis of Yoho: Identifying a Market Gap

Yoho was born as a result of a smart, but simple observation of the founders about an empty space in the footwear section for footwear which could be comfortable, stylish, and at the same time cheap in price in the Indian market.

The founders came up with an idea of 'second shoes' that are a perfect match for the consumers looking for special features like everyday comfort and modern designs but without any color of the design and comfort. This idea has been strongly supported, especially by the young, and aware Indian consumer.

Fueling Growth: Strategic Funding and Innovation

Thanks to the high business growth of the brand Yoho, the company's investment attractiveness has raised significantly and investors look more confident in it. Yoho has efficiently raised INR 47 Cr to reinvest and fund its further growth.

The company is planning the following targets for the money gathered in a project: research and development, creation of new products that are also innovative, as well as the expansion of international consumer markets.

The products that Yoho offer are based on an incredibly successful strategy that gives importance to inventiveness. Yoho has unveiled a selection of hit and innovative products, such as:

  • Blinc: Marketed as India's first hand-free sneakers, intended to give the customers more ease and comfort in wearing their favorite shoes without using their hands and thus providing a faster and more modern way of life.
  • Lofos, Freestep, and Waves: The available new products prove that the company is concerned with the welfare and the satisfaction of their loyal customers.

Yoho’s Approach to Distributed and Ambitious Targets:

Yoho is implementing an omnichannel principle, that is, the logic of doing business through different channels without breaking the continuity and completeness of the customer experience, to embrace customers in big cities and Tier I and Tier II towns.

It’s a comprehensive approach that includes both sales in the internet market and traditional ways of life as well as using quick commerce platforms to facilitate a full fast pace of expansion and penetration.

The estimation of the Yoho is the potential to grow to a 100 Cr INR income in fiscal year 2025. This proves their belief in the product, market strategy, and upsurge in the market for their distinctive products.

  • Science and Technology: This is the validity of shoe design and production necessity, which are the kinds of technological innovation and research.
