Shopsense Retail Technologies Limited, operating under the brand name Fynd, is an Indian public software technology company headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra.[1][2] Founded in 2012, the company develops retail technology software, e-commerce infrastructure, and enterprise applications.[3][4]

History

The company was established in September 2012 by Farooq Adam and Sreeraman Mohan Girija.[5][6][7] Its initial products were interactive in-store digital touchscreens designed for browsing product catalogues within physical retail locations.[8][9][1]

In 2015, the company rebranded as Fynd and changed its business model to focus on offline-to-online inventory integration, developing an online marketplace interface and an inventory application for physical stores.[6]

In August 2019, Reliance Retail Ventures Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited, acquired an 86.69% majority stake in the company for ₹295.25 crore (approximately US$42.33 million).[10][11] In September 2021, the company transitioned from a private entity to a public limited structure.[12]

In 2022, Fast Company magazine listed the company ninth on its annual ranking of firms in the Asia-Pacific region.[13] By late 2024, the company's network included approximately 2,300 brands.[14]

Products

The company develops and sells software-as-a-service (SaaS) products for retail management. Its primary software suite includes tools for point-of-sale systems, inventory management, logistics tracking, and e-commerce storefront development.[15]

The company also produces business automation software, including tools for data pipeline management, customer support, and three-dimensional product visualization.[16] In 2026, it introduced "Fynd Create," a platform integrating design tools, production planning functions, and automated product imagery generation.[17]

Funding

The company raised seed funding from Kae Capital and angel investors.[18] In 2017, it raised approximately US$4.6 million in a Series B round led by IIFL and Rocketship VC. In March 2018, it raised US$9.1 million in a Series C round led by Google.[19][6] In August 2019, Reliance Industries completed its acquisition of the company.[17]

Operations and partnerships

In May 2024, Fynd launched a pilot programme with Reliance Retail on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) network.[20] In August 2024, the company partnered with payment gateway provider PayU to embed digital payment processing into its merchant storefront infrastructure.[21] In June 2025, Fynd entered a logistics partnership with Shiprocket to integrate shipping and delivery verification systems for direct-to-consumer merchants.[16]

In 2024, Fynd established operations in Dubai to offer its omnichannel commerce platform to retailers in the Gulf Cooperation Council region.[22] The company subsequently entered the South African market through an integration partnership with Surtee Group.[23] In November 2025, Fynd launched operations in the United Kingdom.[24]
