    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Jun 13 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Foxtale, a direct-to-consumer skincare start-up founded in 2021, has raised USD 18 million in a Series B funding round led by Singapore's Panthera Growth Partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Existing investors Matrix Partners India and Kae Capital also participated in this latest round.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The fresh capital will be utilised to bolster Foxtale's digital presence and introduce new product categories to its skincare line targeting specific concerns like acne, aging, hyperpigmentation and more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Founded by former investment banker Romita Mazumdar, the company has rapidly established a customer base across over 100 Indian cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt; We are incredibly fortunate to have investors who support our product innovation and profitability focus,  stated Mazumdar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He further added,  Their experience has proven invaluable as we've grown and scaled Foxtale. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;India's skincare market, valued at USD 6.93 billion in 2023, is projected to reach USD 10.31 billion by 2028 with an 8.25 per cent CAGR according to Research and Markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;This burgeoning sector has attracted new digital-first brands like Foxtale, Mama Earth, Minimalist and mCaffeine to compete alongside legacy players.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt; Romita and her team have built an incredible business rapidly with a sharp product and innovation focus,  said Shilpa Kulkarni, Founder and Managing Partner, Panthera Growth Partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;She mentioned,  We're excited to support their ambitious growth journey. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Targeting women aged 23-35 across metro, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, Foxtale sells through e-commerce platforms like Nykaa, Amazon, Blinkit, Flipkart and Myntra in addition to its own website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
