In a statement , Nishit Garg, Vice President – Flipkart Fashion, said, “When it comes to shopping for kids fashion, parents do not want to compromise on quality and we have observed a growing affinity towards trusted brands not just in metros, but in T2+ regions as well. At Flipkart, we’ve sharpened our focus on the kids fashion segment which has helped us scale the business to 3 times in the past 2 years, with majority growth being driven by new customers. The launch of Hopscotch is in line with this and we believe that their high-quality kids fashion products will bring immense value from a choice perspective.”

Rahul Anand, Founder & CEO – Hopscotch, added, “With increasing exposure to the latest trends, parents in India continue to seek fashion-forward choices for their kids that also offer great value for money. Seasonal collections are in great demand, especially in tier-2 and 3 cities, but access is limited. Hopscotch fills this void by featuring the trendiest kids fashion catalog at the most affordable price points. Our partnership with Flipkart will further enable us to reach millions of such consumers across the country."

Hopscotch specialises in curating fashionable and on-trend head-to-toe looks for infants, toddlers and preschoolers and offers a value-fashion range starting at ₹349.
