Layers aims to transform the way mobile skins are perceived in the country with quirky, original, and premium quality products. Built on a unique UV technology for the digital savvy audience- Gen-Z and Millennials, the brand will be targeting revenue of 25 crores in just a span of one year.
Joining the league of social-first D2C brands, Layers has already created a massive buzz in the ecosystem. Capitalizing on the social media following of Tech Burner, within several hours of the launch, the Instagram page of the brand has gained 50k+ followers and the total viewership of the content has crossed 35+ million views. The brand has, in fact, already received 7k orders within 15 hours of the launch.
“We decided to build Layers almost 3 years ago and since then the space has grown exponentially. I am excited and overwhelmed to see the response we are receiving from the audience- within several hours of the launch our products went out of stock. These milestones usually take several months for D2C brands to achieve. I am truly indebted to my community for helping us achieve these monumental milestones in such a short time. I hope this first-of-its-kind launch encourages more content creators to venture into entrepreneurship.” said Co-founder, Shlok Shrivastava aka Tech Burner.
On the launch of Layers, Co-Founder, Neel Gogia said, “I am passionate about building India’s creator economy. In my opinion, the next natural progression is creators turning into entrepreneurs. In fact, at IPLIX Media, we’ve first hand witnessed how passionate content creators are to take the entrepreneurial plunge.
