Gurugram-based men’s luxury fashion brand Louis Stich has raised Rs five crore at a pre-money valuation of Rs 100 crore in its Pre-Series A funding round. The round has been led by Bijli Group, the family office of Ajay Bijli, the founder of PVR Cinemas. The funding came through ATC Logistics, a subsidiary, run by Ajay’s son, Aamer Bijli.
