Speaking about why they chose to invest in a vertical e-commerce startup, YourNest’s Sunil Goyal said, “Currently, there aren’t any efficient platforms in India serving the needs of parents looking for services fulfilling the necessities of their kids. The main challenges of e-commerce in India today are cost of acquisition, customer retention, inventory maintenance and logistics cost. The team at MyCity4Kids has successfully managed to overcome these challenges. Also, they are addressing a huge gap in the market.”

We wish MyCity4Kids all the best as they plan to scale, and shall bring you regular updates.
