What a week....23 Jun 2018 08:24

Another firm which strutted its stuff this week was online fashion retailer Koovs.
The company, sometimes referred to as ‘Indias answer to ASOS’, more than doubled in value after it welcomed one of the country’s largest media group’s as a new cornerstone investor.
In return, HT Media, which owns the Hindustan Times newspaper among other things, will provide Koovs with almost £17million of advertising and marketing credits which can be used in its publications.
The deal isn’t over the line just yet as it is conditional on a separate 6 million pound fundraise going ahead, but analysts seem fairly sure that this wont prove to be a problem.
Giving another little boost to the share price was Koovs’ collaboration with Bollywood film star Taapsee Pannu, who has 17million followers across her various social media accounts. Koovs shares soared by 106 per cent to 23.4p.
