Founded by Annika Saraf and Sanchit Goyal in 2023, India, AKINNA is building a designer-led luxury leather handbag brand that aims to redefine the narrative of Indian luxury through ethical sourcing and Made in India craftsmanship.

The fresh capital will be used to scale production by onboarding more artisan partners, expand the core team with key hires, and invest in brand-building initiatives to strengthen AKINNA’s global presence.
