    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Jun 13 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Palette Brands, a consumer goods company previously operating under the name White.Inc, has successfully raised close to USD 2 million in a pre-Series A funding round.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The investment was led by Rockstud Capital, with participation from existing investors IPV, Dholakia Ventures, and angel investors Stoffer Anko Norden and Apurva Salapuria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The newly acquired capital will be primarily dedicated to the launch of Ember, a cookware brand under the Palette Brands umbrella.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;According to the company's statement, the cookware category presents an opportunity for innovation, as consumers seek to upgrade their kitchens while making healthier choices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Siddharth Gadodia, Founder, erstwhile White Inc., expressed the company's aim to address a gap in the market by  marrying form and functionality in the cookware category. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Ember aims to introduce a non-toxic, non-stick cookware brand catering to this demand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Citing a report by Goldman Sachs Research, Palette Brands highlighted the projected growth of affluent consumers in India, expected to increase from approximately 60 million in 2023 to 100 million by 2027.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The company's strategy is to cater to this aspirational, affluent consumer segment by offering premium products with exceptional design and value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Palette Brands currently encompasses two other brands: Unbottle, a drinkware line, and Totem, an Apple accessories brand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The start-up was founded in 2022 by Siddharth Gadodia, Young Yun, Himanshi Tandon, and Bret Recor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
