Bangalore based online fashion and lifestyle store Fashionara.com, which is operated by Fashionara Enterprises Pvt Ltd, has shut down its operations as its website and app are no longer accessible. Founded in 2012 by former Reliance Trends CEO Arun Sirdeshmukh along with Darpan Munjal, former chief technology officer at Times Internet Ltd, the company had raised over $4 million series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Helion Venture Partners.

Co-founder Darpan Munjal had left the company in January this year and he is currently operating Squadhelp.com, a Crowdsourcing platform helping startups and businesses across the globe building memorable brands.

Fashionara’s net sales jumped five-fold to Rs 32.86 crore in the financial year 2014-15. But its net loss widened to Rs 32.13 crore from Rs 21.11 crore in 2013-14. It was competing with portals such as Flipkart, Snapdeal, Myntra, Jabong and Koovs among others.

Home food delivery startup ZuperMeal which was founded by three co-founders - Balasubramanian Anantha Narayanan, Pallavi Saxena and Prabhakar Banerjee, has apparently closed down its operations eight months after it raised seed funding.

Its co-founder Balasubramanian Anantha Narayanan, has also joined logistics startup LogiNext as vice president – business development, as per his LinkedIn profile.
